Installing your thermostat
Important!
This thermostat requires a
C,
or common, wire for power. The
C,
or common,
wire brings 24
VAG
power to the thermostat.
If
you are replacing an existing thermostat,
it might not have a C wire connected to
it.
Many older mechanical or battery operated
thermostats do not require a C wire. See the C
Wire
Addendum
document included
in
this package for more information. If you don't have a C wire, try:
Note: Not all heating/cooling systems label the 24
VAG
common
C.
Check your system
manual or contact the manufacturer to find out which terminal
is
the 24
