All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances. Disconnect the power supply to prevent
electrical shock or equipment damage.
The shape of the terminals permits insertion of straight or
wraparound wiring connections; either method is accept-
able. A letter code is located near each terminal for
identification. See Fig. 3.
NOTE: To ensure proper mounting of thermostat, restrict
all wiring to the shaded area in the center of the
