Wiring for Conventional Systems
When wiring the Honeywell FocusPro 6000 for conventional heating and cooling systems, it’s essential to follow the wiring diagram closely. Typically, conventional systems utilize separate wires for heating, cooling, and fan operation. The “R” terminal connects to the 24VAC power supply, often a red wire. The “W” terminal connects to the heating system control, usually a white wire. The “Y” terminal connects to the cooling system control, typically a yellow wire. The “G” terminal connects to the fan, often a green wire.
Ensure the power to the HVAC system is turned off at the breaker before beginning any wiring. Carefully strip the ends of each wire and securely connect them to the corresponding terminals. If your system has a separate transformer for heating and cooling, you may need to use a jumper wire between the “R” terminals to provide power to both systems.
Double-check all connections against the wiring diagram to ensure accuracy. Loose or incorrect wiring can lead to system malfunctions or damage. After wiring, carefully tuck the wires back into the wallplate and proceed with mounting the thermostat.
Wiring for Heat Pump Systems
Wiring the Honeywell FocusPro 6000 for heat pump systems requires careful attention to terminal designations. Heat pumps differ from conventional systems as they use a reversing valve to switch between heating and cooling modes. The “O/B” terminal controls this valve; select “O” for systems that energize the valve in cooling and “B” for heating. Connect the appropriate wire to this terminal.
The “R” terminal still connects to the 24VAC power, and “G” connects to the fan. However, instead of separate “W” and “Y” terminals, heat pumps often use a single “Y” for both heating and cooling. Some systems may have an auxiliary heat “Aux” terminal (typically white wire). This is for backup heating and is wired accordingly; Be sure to disable the function to avoid a short.
As with conventional systems, always disconnect power before wiring. Verify the wiring diagram specific to your heat pump system to ensure correct connections. Tighten terminal screws securely, and neatly tuck wires into the wallplate. Incorrect wiring can damage the thermostat or HVAC equipment, so accuracy is crucial.
