   • C (Blue)⁚ Provides common power to the thermostat.
   • W (White)⁚ Controls the heating system.
   • Y (Yellow)⁚ Controls the cooling system.
   • G (Green)⁚ Controls the fan.
   • O/B (Orange/Brown): For a heat pump system.
2. Insert Wires into Terminals⁚ Insert the wires into the corresponding terminals on the back of the thermostat. Ensure they are securely connected by pressing down on the terminal tabs.
3. Check Wiring Diagram⁚ Refer to the wiring diagram provided in the Honeywell Pro Series Thermostat Manual for specific wiring instructions based on your HVAC system type.

After ensuring all wires are securely connected, you can proceed to mounting the thermostat onto the UWP Mounting System.

Mounting the Thermostat

Once the wiring is complete, you’re ready to mount the thermostat. This process is straightforward and involves attaching the thermostat to the UWP Mounting System, which you previously installed.

1. Push Excess Wire⁚ Gently push any excess wire back into the wall opening to avoid obstruction.
2. Close the UWP Door⁚ Close the door on the UWP Mounting System. It should close securely without bulging.
3. Align and Snap⁚ Align the UWP with the thermostat. Gently push the thermostat forward until it clicks into place, securing it to the UWP.
4. Turn on Power⁚ Finally, turn on the power to your HVAC system at the breaker box or switch.

After mounting the thermostat, you can proceed to the next step, which involves configuring the system operation settings. These settings will allow you to customize the thermostat’s operation to your specific needs and preferences.

System Operation Settings

After successfully mounting your Honeywell Pro Series thermostat, you’ll need to configure the system operation settings. This step allows you to customize the thermostat’s behavior to match your specific heating and cooling needs. Here’s how to set up your system⁚

1. Select the System Mode⁚ Press the “Mode” button on the thermostat. This will cycle through the available System modes, such as “Heat,” “Cool,” “Auto,” and “Fan.” Choose the desired mode and leave it selected to activate it. Note that the available System modes can vary depending on your thermostat model and system settings.

The System Operation Settings provide a foundation for customizing your thermostat’s performance. After configuring these settings, you can delve into more advanced options, such as the Installer Setup (ISU), to fine-tune your thermostat’s behavior further.

Installer Setup (ISU)

The Installer Setup (ISU) menu grants access to advanced configuration options for your Honeywell Pro Series thermostat. These settings are typically intended for professional installers, but understanding them can be helpful for DIY enthusiasts who want to fine-tune their thermostat’s performance.
