Application Note #653
Identifying HVAC Equipment (continued)
Read the Installation Manual for the Recommended Thermostats
Reading the installation manual for recommended thermostats is especially useful for new construction applications. A retrofit
application often has a thermostat in the space that can be used to verify the connections. New construction applications do
not have a thermostat installed and will not have limitations based on wiring as with retrofit applications.
In the HVAC equipment installation manuals and specification sheets, the thermostats that are recommended are typically
from the same manufacturer. This can lead to the assumption that only their thermostats can be used, perhaps as a result
of a proprietary communication protocol. Despite the recommendation, it is typically not a requirement and third-party
thermostats can often be used. However, it is still prudent to consult an HVAC specialist or contact the HVAC equipment
manufacturer’s technical support before proceeding.
The best practice is to consult an HVAC specialist, look up recommended thermostats, and browse the thermostat
installation manual for HVAC equipment wiring diagrams.
In Figure 4, the installation manual refers to document T11-001 which can be found online. If a specific reference document
is not mentioned in the installation manual, an online search can be completed to determine if that document exists.
