Hello guys!
I've looked all over the net but could not find an answer to my following question.
I recently moved in to a condo, which had an old Honeywell thermostat installed. I took it off, there were no markings on the back of the unit, but all six wires coming from the wall were connected to the unit. The colors of the wires are the following:
BLUE, YELLOW, RED, ORANGE, BLACK, BROWN
I've went through many different forums and manuals, but everywhere it says I should have WHITE and GREEN wires coming out from the wall. I do not have those.
My fan coil unit is made by Climetec (Canadian manufacturer), here is the link: Climanetics Inc. | (http://www.climanetics.ca/climetec.htm)
I connected my new Ritetemp thermostat in the following way, but the fan does not stop, unless you shut the unit down, while the unit is fully programmable:
RED - to RH terminal of the new thermostat (jumpered to RC)
BLACK - to B terminal
YELLOW - to Y terminal
ORANGE - to W terminal
I know that the BLUE wire from the wall is 24AC for the unit, but I can leave it out, because the unit operates on batteries, which is fine by me. I am also positive that RED wire is connected correctly, otherwise I would have no heat, which I do.
Please advice about the rest of the wires if you can, it would be greatly appreciated! Im just tired of switching the thermostat to ON and OFF, when I know that it is fully programmable :)
Thank you very much in advance for any clues you can provide!
Stan.
