WIRING TERMINAL
Wire specifications:
18-24 gauge thermostat wire
CAT-5 or equivalent for communication terminals
Installation notes:
• Ensure power at the HVAC equipment is off.
• Loosen screw terminals, insert stripped wire and
re-tighten.
• Push the excess wire back into the opening and plug
the wall opening to prevent drafts.
Note: If the HVAC system was installed before the
automation system, the HVAC installer may have
powered the thermostat connecting a wire to the
C terminal and installing a jumper wire from the R
terminal to RH or RC. When used with an automation
system, the R and C terminals on the Model 8800
thermostat should only be connected to the same
terminals on the 8819 or a dedicated 24VAC transformer.
There should be no connection to the R or C terminals
coming from the HVAC equipment.

O and B terminals are both de-energized when system mode is
OFF or in AUTO when the heating and cooling equipment is idle.
3
When the unit is configured for humidistat mode.
4
Jumper between RC & RH is used in single transformer systems
(see wiring diagrams).
