SmartCommand Thermostat Installation Manual Installation overview Before you remove an existing thermostat and install the SmartCommand thermostat, follow these guidelines: • Record existing wiring information. • Do the bench test. • Check WDU wiring before applying power to the control unit. -
Page 25: Freeze Protection
In cold climates that require the heating system to be used for building freeze protection, a mechanical backup freeze protection device must be installed on the heating system. This can be a simple mechanical heating thermostat or a preset thermoswitch installed in the heated area (Figure 15). Figure 15. Freeze protection... -
Page 26: Wall Display Unit Installation
Category 5 wiring is preferred, but not required. In retrofit applications, the existing 18 Ga thermostat wiring (at least four wires) is adequate and usually will work without problems. However, such nontwisted wiring can be subject to interference due to adjacent in-wall high voltage wiring. -
Page 27: Control Unit Installation
Electrically, the control unit looks like a standard thermostat to your HVAC system. All connections to the HVAC system are made at the normal thermostat connections on the HVAC unit. Refer to your HVAC system’s documentation for specific information on its thermostat connections and set up requirements. You will need to know the following: HVAC system type. -
Page 28: Hvac System Wiring
Standard HVAC system wiring Figure 18 shows the wiring diagram for a standard gas or electric HVAC system. Wiring colors are typical thermostat wiring color codes. Note: For typical central heating/cooling systems, leave jumper JP1 installed. If you have separate heating and cooling system transformers, cut jumper JP1. - Page 29 For standard HVAC systems, follow these guidelines: Single-stage systems. Use W1 for heating stage 1, and Y1 for cooling stage 1. Two-stage heating systems. Use W1 for stage 1, and W2 for stage 2 heating. Two-stage cooling systems. Use Y1 for stage 1 and Y2 for stage 2 cooling. HVAC system 24 VAC transformer If you have an integrated heating and cooling system with a single transformer, do not cut jumper JP1.
