Rheem Thermostat? I am currently attempting to upgrade from an existing mercury switch Rheem...
I am currently attempting to upgrade from an existing mercury switch Rheem thermostat to a Hunter model 44360. The Rheem thermostat has R (red), B (blue), G (green), Y (yellow), X (purple), W2 (white) connected through a pullover to E (white). The Hunter 44360 has G, Y/O, W/B, Y1, RH and RC connections. The RC and RH connections are connected by a red jersey wire. Does anyone know the electrics configuration that I need to follow contained by order to replace the mature thermostat with the newer model. Any serve will be appreciated.
Answers: what does your HVAC system have? Is it a Gas furnace near a central AC?
Is it a roast pump?
Is it a heat only(gas/ electric)?
Do you own a humidifier in your system?
This make a difference as each of these electrical system configuration on your tstat.
R(RC/RH) is always your 24v supply to the tstat from the furnace.
Y is other for cooling on heat pumps and crucial AC
W/B is always for heat on Gas furnaces and heat pumps.
G is for indoor lover operation
typically RH and RC is jumped out.
as for those X and E terminal you need to read the instructions as to what those are for. they might be a adjectives terminal and a terminal for a humidifier.
inside your furnace there should be a terminal strip beside screws contained by the section be the tstat control wire runs to. The terminal are usually labeled with R, W, Y, G, C(common),
and possibly others but these five are usually other there.
they will correspond near the terminals on your tstat.
the standard color job for the tstat wire is R is red, W is white, Y is washed out, G is Green and C is either brown, black or any other color.
if you enjoy central AC within will usually be a red and a white wire going to the Y and C terminal in the furnace. These wires stir out to the condenser/compressor unit outside.
As other consult with the supplier or businesswoman if you don't understand the directions given beside the tstat you just bought.
Good luck. I have the same problem and call a H/AC person. He blew my bright $80 thermostat.
