WIRE WALLPLATE TERMINALS
If you have three wires for heating only and can operate
the fan using the FAN ON switch, this thermostat works
with your system. However, some hot water (zoned)
heating systems have three thermostat wires. The
thermostat will work only if you install an isolating relay on
these systems. For details, call Honeywell Customer
Assistance Center at 1-800-468-1502.
The CT2700 Thermostat is powered through the heating/
cooling system and is adaptable to most 4-wire, 18 to 30
Vac heating-cooling systems. Refer to Figs. 4 through 6 for
some typical system wiring diagrams.

call your local heating and air conditioning contractor.

ADJUST FAN OPERATION SWITCH
The thermostat fan operation switch, labeled fuel switch in
Fig. 9, is set at the factory in the F (gas/oil fuel) position.
This is the correct setting for most systems. If this system
is an electric heat system, set the switch to the E (electric)
position. The E setting allows the fan to turn on immedi-
ately with the heating or cooling equipment in a system
where the G terminal is connected.
Refer to the masking tape labels you placed on wires
when you removed your old thermostat.
Match the letter of your old thermostat wire with the
terminal of the corresponding letter on your new
thermostat. Refer to Fig. 7.
