Wiring Information and Trouble Shooting

This page provides general guidance for wiring your Lux 24VAC digital thermostat. For more detailed information please refer to the instructions that came with your thermostat. Those instructions can be viewed in PDF format here.
 
Please make specific note regarding LOW VOLTAGE and LINE VOLTAGE directions. Do not install LINE VOLTAGE wires to a LOW VOLTAGE control. Do no install a wire labeled "C" or "TC" from the previous thermostat to any of our controls. Installation of a "C" wire may cause damage to your system.
 
Do NOT wire by color of the wire, wire by the LETTER designation to which the wire was attached on the previous control.
 
If there were no letter designations on your old thermostat, contact our Technical Assistance Department for assistance.
