I have a Honeywell RTH7000 thermostat. It replaces an elder circular mercury thermostat. There are only two wires, red and white. They are low voltage - you can put them together near your bare hand and not get electrocuted, and put the roast on.

We have a three-zone hot dampen (from an oil burner) system. The other two zone still have the elder round mercury thermostats.

Although this programmable one was installed a year ago, it seem to be not working immediately. It's not the batteries - they are rather fresh, but I'm wondering if it's wired up properly. We haven't lived in this house highly long.

Right now, the red rope goes to the "R" connector, and the white go to the "G" connector, but it doesn't seem to see in when it should.

The directions hold connection instructions for "conventional" and "alternative" and "steam pump". I'm pretty sure this falls under "conventional". I'm not sure what the industry definition of "bake pump" is.

Should I wire it as "warmth pump"?
Answers:    red to rh and white to w. very simple . The g terminal is for a disciple control which you don't have. It is conventional electric wiring in baggage you wanted to know
Does the fry turn on when you touch the red and white together? Put the red on RH and the white on W. Make sure it is set on auto and see what happens
