Step 3
1. Run thermostat cable from each thermostat to the
appropriate HVAC system or zone control panel. Use 4
through 8-conductor thermostat cable depending on the
type of equipment and number of equipment stages. Run
one more wire than would be required if connecting to a
mechanical thermostat.
❖ If you are using remote temperature or humidity
support modules as part of your installation, now is the
time to run the additional wires for these items. A
separate Category 5 cable must be run from thermostat
to support module.
2. At the HVAC/zone control system, use a piece of tape to
✍
label the location of the thermostat on the cable as you go.
3. Run Category-5, 4-pair twisted cable (8-conductor) from
each thermostat to the Distribution Panel.
4. At the Distribution Panel, use a piece of tape to
✍
label
the location of the thermostat on the cable as you go.
5. Run Category-5 wire from the Distribution Panel to the
Protocol Adapter. If more than one Distribution Panel is
used, run Category-5 wire between each panel.
6. Run two-conductor thermostat cable from the
Model 8027 Transformer to the Distribution Panel. You
can use Category-5 wire, but you must use one pair of
wires per terminal.
