I'm working at a non-profit in New York City.

Recently I purchased three Honeywell T8624D's to replace our Honeywell T874D's. Then we'll have programmed on and off times and I won't have to go into each mechanical rooms to tend to the units.

The wiring looks very straightforward and I tried to install two of them today. However, after installing them and throwing the breaker, the new thermostat display didn't show anything at all- no LCD.

I reinstalled the old thermostat and the system started right up without a problem.

Our system is a 2 cycle cooling and 1 cycle heating.

Wiring on old and new

W1--W1
G--G
Rc--Rc
Rh--R
Y1--Y1
Y2--Y2

Rc and Rh are bridged on the old thermostat, so I bridged them on the new thermostat.

Then I tried it once without the bridging. Nothing happened still.

Any opinions, questions, help you can offer would be very appreciated.

Tom

I belive that thermostat requires a common... Does it have a C terminal?

Thank you for replying to this problem. I appreciate it.

Yes, the thermostat does have a "C" terminal.

Do you have any advice on how I should get a 24v common to the thermostat?

Thank you.

You need to run a wire from the furnace to the thermostat.
