    How to wire a rlv430A thermostat
    I am installing a new thermostat for my baseboard electric heat.
    The electric box has 2 wires coming into it. So I have 2 black, 2 white and 2 ground.
    The old thermostat had a place for all 4 wires (one side line one side load) the new thermostat is a honeywell RLV430 High voltage (at least I got the high voltage part right). It only has 2 wires so I am at a loss as to what to hook up where.
    I have 2 wires (bl and white) from power source (circuit breaker) measuring 115 on each leg to grnd. And 2 wires going to heater (b and white) please advise.
