Senville Mini Split Installation – Thermostat Installation.

Install a thermostat is easy as long as the wiring is already in place. Install new wiring from the air conditioning or the heater to where you want to install the thermostat is difficult and must be done by a professional. However, if you are replacing an existing thermostat wiring is laid, it is a simple matter. 

Mini Split AC – Circuit.

The first step is to turn off power to the circuit that feeds the thermostat or furnace. Remove the old thermostat opening the box and take out the screws holding the panel and the screws holding the thermostat to the wall. Once you remove the old thermostat, the wiring is exposed and connected to the appropriate slots on the new thermostat. These cables are usually color coded. Most models contain a red wire, green wire, yellow wire and a white wire. The red should be connected to the terminal RH or RC, which is the power circuit. The green wire is connected to the G terminal on the thermostat. This controls the fan. Yellow is for air conditioning (otherwise you may not require a yellow wire). Finally, the white wire is connected to the W and controls the heating system.

Moreover, the new thermostat may have their own guidelines for the cables to be joined, and you might check the user manual to know specifically which wires attach on that model. You can also tag the wires with tape when you take them out of your old thermostat. If you install a manual thermostat instead of a digital thermostat / programmable, you must also consider the setting tab in the center of the existing thermostat before removal. This is the small tab with numbers ranging from 0.1 to 1.5. This tab works like your heat anticipator, and you can set a new mechanical thermostat to the same number.

First, the cables must be returned to the distribution box, if any. If there is not, probably just have to go back to the hole in the wall, and you can connect directly to the wall thermostat. First, put the rear panel to which the cables are connected. It is important to make sure that the rear panel is level, and there are marks indicating a line level. Then put a battery in the thermostat and install the front panel of the unit. Turn on the power and program the thermostat to the desired temperature. Finally, you need to throw the old thermostat carefully, as it contains mercury, which is a biohazard. There are local programs that will help you get rid of the thermostat.
