    Carrier abcd bus conversion to RWYG?
    I have a Carrier Infinity (with the ABCD Bus wiring system) that has died, and I want to replace it with another, standard thermostat. Is there a way to convert the ABCD to standard wiring? Thanks!

    KISS

    Carrier model #, inside unit?
    Is the ABCD bus used on the outdoor unit?
    Model # of the outdoor unit?
    Your sure this isn't a heat pump?

    eBay usually sells the control: carrier infinity thermostat items - Get great deals on Home Garden, Business Industrial items on eBay.com!

    If the ABCD bus is used on the outdoor unit, you may have a problem making it work.

    In general, Carrier provides the standard terminals on the control board, but to select a conventional stat, I believe the outdoor unit has to use C & Y, not 100% sure.

    You would also need to know the stages of heat and the stages of cool to pick the right stat.

    If you only have 4 wires, you may be relying on batteries if there are not enough wires run to support a common terminal.

    No, that system is communicating and can't be used with a conventional stat as far I know.
