HVAC  system wiring
Wiring will differ depending on if your system is a standard gas or electric system or if your system is a heat 
pump system.
Standard HVAC system wiring
Figure 18 shows the wiring diagram for a standard gas or electric HVAC system. Wiring colors are typical 
thermostat wiring color codes.
Note:  
For typical central heating/cooling systems, leave jumper JP1 installed. If you have separate heating and cooling 
system transformers, cut jumper JP1. Wire RC to the cooling system transformer and RH to the heating system 
transformer.
