Temperature Controller, 2 Wire Room Thermostat Heating Thermostat Digital Thermostat with Large Screen LCD Display Wall Hanging for Control Room Temperature (White)

Product Information

Some thermostats have a neon indicator built in, which is internally connected in parallel with the accelerator heater. This is illuminated when the thermostat is on (calling for heat). Other information Earth connections to thermostats The 2 wire thermostat for line voltage systems is technically known as single pole thermostat (and the 4 wire version is known as double pole thermostats). When it comes to low voltage systems, a 2 wire thermostat is usually known as a “heat only thermostat” and is used for systems like a gas furnace (with only a heating option). A 2 wire thermostat can not be used for HVAC systems with a cooling option, or heating systems with multi stages or a heat pump. Wiring & Color Code We now know ‘what exactly is a 2 wire thermostat’. Let’s review some of the popular 2 wire thermostat models used in US households.

If you are DIY thermostat wiring, here’s the easiest thing to do before removing the old thermostat: When you have done that, you can safely remove the old thermostat. Installing A New Thermostat (Reconnecting Wire By Wire) A frost thermostat is wired in exactly the same way as the examples above, however there will be a separate set of terminals in the boiler for this. White wires are for heating. You will find them in gas furnace thermostats, for example, but won’t find them in air conditioner thermostats.Spreading them apart will create at least a 2×2 inch crosssection, and the wires will be suspending on the wall (instead of on the thermostat).

These boilers require a mains voltage thermostat, which can have 2 or 3 wires. The boiler will have a terminal which activates the boiler when mains voltage is applied to it, typically labelled SL or Switched Line. 2 wire thermostat The thermostat uses one wire to control the primary functions of your HVAC system, such as heating, cooling, and fan. See the diagram below for the role of each wire in your system: The most basic thermostat has 2 wires; usually a red and a white wire. Two wire thermostat wiring is used for furnaces only and usually doesn’t need a “C” or “Common” wire. That’s why we only need two wires. This is a 2 wire thermostat wiring color code: This thermostat is very simple to use, you just have to connect the thermostat to your Wi-Fi network and then you can access the web interface through your computer or smartphone.

required when using a radio module”. It is interesting they say a 24V DC can be used and in other place they indicate the polarity of connection is immaterial (The CT32 can be externally powered with a power source rated from An important note: Keep in mind that dealing with electrical circuits can be harmful to yourself. That’s why always follow the appropriate safety measures when working on live electrical circuits. For more information about the wires and their ampacity, consult the AWG gauge chart with wire sizes for specific amps here. Many 2 wire thermostats are suitable for mains voltage, however some are not, so care is required when selecting a 2 wire thermostat for mains use.
