Connect the neutral (the white wire) to the wire from #6 terminal. For more regional heat control, the Delta is ideally suited for zone heating. (Figure 38) shows an example of a three zone system. The thermostat simultaneously opens the noise reduction collars desired valve and starts the blower when heat is required.
