Hi all,



A quick question regarding the wiring on my tstat.

My existing tstat is wired as follows

out of the wall are three lines

line 1 is R,Y,G

line 2 is R,W

line 3 is R,W


The tstat wiring is as follows

line 2 and 3 (W) to W on tstat

line 1 Y to (Y) on tstat

line 1 G to (G) on tstat

lines 1 & 2 R to (Rc) on tstat

line 3 R to (R) on tstat

New tstat has G W C Y R Rc


We have central air and hot water baseboard heat.

Should I just wire my new tstat(FocusPro 6110) the same way

Thanks again!

Eric

Post the make and model of your old stat. Q674? ???? on the subbase?

It's just a subbase series...

You're right, wire it as the old one is wired. Be sure to label those wires before removing them. Turn off power to your air handler and baseboard heater. (You must have relays in that second circuit for the old one to have worked)

Thanks Houston!

I posted earlier that my air handler would not shut off
and has to be turned off at the CB. Yuri suggested a
tstat which I needed to replace anyway. Got that done
but the blower still does not want to shut off. I have
a Post Purge Fan Delay ICM253 to replace the existing.
Should I try this as the next step? My only question
regarding this is the wiring.

The existing Fan relay has spades numbered 1,2,3 and 5
The replacement has spades numbered 1,2,3 and 4

Much Thanks!

Eric

1 = G (to fan relay)
2 = R (power)
3 = C (common)
4 = G (Stat fan signal)
Where does your 5th wire currently connect?



Are you sure it isn't a 251?

You have 2 wires connected terminal #2. Looks like your old #5 is your new #4. Both relays only have 4 terminals. You have the correct relay.

Hey Houston

Thanks for the info! BTW here is a picture of the existing
relay. I'm not sure how to link a pic directly to my post.

Thanks again!

The ICM 253 is the correct replacement. Measure the length of time your old relay takes to turn off the fan after signal is removed and set your dial accordingly.

1 = G (to fan relay) tan w/insulated connector
2 = R (power) Red and yellow piggybacked wires
3 = C (common) blue wire
4 = G (Stat fan signal) unisulated tan wire

Be sure to remove power before your work.

Thanks again Houston for the info!

Yea, my problem is that the AH just runs continuously
without shuting off so I am not sure how long to set the
relay for. My guess would be at 120 sec or a couple minutes?

Thanks again!

Eric
