Wiring the Thermostat
Connecting the Honeywell T6 Pro Programmable Thermostat, model TH6220U2000/U, to your HVAC system involves wiring the thermostat for either AC power or battery power. The specific wiring procedure depends on your system’s configuration and whether you have a C wire available.
If your system is wired for AC power, you’ll need to connect the common side of the cooling transformer to the C terminal on the thermostat. This provides a constant power source for the thermostat’s operation. If you don’t have a C wire, the thermostat will rely on battery power for operation. In this case, ensure you install the two AA batteries included in the package.
Refer to the wiring diagram provided in the installation manual for your specific HVAC system. It details the color-coded wires and their corresponding terminals on the thermostat. Always disconnect power to the HVAC system before attempting any wiring connections. If you’re unsure about any aspect of the wiring, consult a qualified electrician for assistance.
AC Power Wiring
To wire your Honeywell T6 Pro Programmable Thermostat, model TH6220U2000/U, for AC power, you’ll need to connect the common side of the cooling transformer to the C terminal on the thermostat.
