• Verify system compatibility with heat pump configurations.

Wiring Diagrams

Terminal Designations (based on configurations):

Terminal	Description
R/RH	24V Power
RC	24V Power (Cooling, if separate)
W1/W2	Heating Stages (Aux Heat)
G	Fan Relay
Y/Y1	Cooling/Compressor Relay
O/B	Reversing Valve (Heat Pump)
X2	Aux Heat during Defrost

Notes: Connect condensate switches between Y and Y1. Use X2 for aux heat in defrost. Select diagram based on system (e.g., TAM Series, Variable Speed Gas Furnace). Remove jumpers if 2-transformer system.

Configuration Options

1. Turn off power; mount base using template.
   
2. Connect wires to terminals per diagram.
   
3. Snap thermostat cover on; restore power.
   
4. Test modes: Verify heat/cool operation and indicators.

Calculation Tool

Estimate monthly energy savings from efficient heat pump operation (assumes 0.5 kWh saved per cycle with 2-stage heat; 30 days/month).
