Wire Thermostat Terminals - Honeywell T8131A Owner's Manual

Wire Thermostat Terminals

NOTE: All wiring must comply with local
codes and ordinances. If unsure
about household wiring procedures,
call your local heating/air conditioning
contractor.
Refer to the masking tape labels you placed on
the wires when you removed your old thermostat.
Match the letter of your old thermostat
wire with the terminal of the correspond-
ing letter on the back of your new
thermostat. Refer to the illustrations on
pages 26 through 27. Hold the thermo-
stat as shown to minimize the need for
wire extenders.
If the wires are still too short, use the wire
connectors (purchased locally) to extend the
wires. See figure for guidelines on using wire
extenders.
