Wire Extender Installation Guide
General features
TheWireExtenderkitisusedforanexistingthermostat
installationthatdoesnotcontainacommonwire.Thekitwill
enablethisProgrammableThermostattoworkwiththeexisting
wiring.
Terminal
Wire Size:22-14AWG
Voltage: 18to30VAC,50Hz,or60Hz
Input terminal: RC, RH, Y, W, C, G
Input current Consumption:30mAat24VACwhenW&Yareactive
Output terminal: RC, RH, Y, W, C, G
Output current rate: 2Ampsperterminal
Installation and Wiring
1.Mounttheaccessoryatornearbytheequipmentstrip.
2.Labeleachwiretobeconnected,eg.RH,RC,C,Y,W,G.
3.ThetwoleadsoftheDiobePairareconnectedtothermostat
terminals,YtoY,WtoW.Selectoneoftheexistingthermostat
wired(eitherthe“W”or“Y”)toconnecttooppositesideofthe
DiobePair.Thisthermostatwireshouldbeconnectedtothe
“W”or“Y”terminaloftheaccessory,andthetwoterminalsare
shortedbyajumperwireontheAccessory.
4.Theleftoverwirefromtheabovestep(eitherthe“W”or“Y”
dependingonwhichwasusedfortheDiablePair)willnowbe
usedforthe“C”wire.
5.The“G”isdirectconnectedfromthethermostattothe
equipment.Ifthe“G”wireisnotavailable,donotconnectthis
wire.
