Wiring a thermostat

Typically the box will say "C wire required " Any 24v tstat will work, just make sure it doesn't say c required.

The following are the two manuals for ths product, I looked briefly and didn't see an answer to your wuestion. If you want to change the number of degrees between heating and cooling operation from 1 to 3 degress that can be found in the operating manual, under programming. 69-1723 - RTH6300B - Programmable Thermostat Operating Manual
69-1717 - RTH6300B Programmable Thermostat Installation Guide

Sad to say but you have bought an non compatible thermostat, what you need is a thermostat that has "Heat Pump" somewhere on the package, Honeywell makes those also in the same models, sometimes they can be tricky if your not looking. It should also say 2heat, 1cool too. Hope this helps and good luck!

Open up the propane furnace and see what color wires are hooked to the gas valve or circuit board. If it has a circuit board, note which color is on the R terminal and W terminal, Connect the the thermostat the same way. Most likely the yellow wire powers your A/C so you can hook that one to the Y terminal.

Hi, this can be confusing. Be sure you have the power off before you wire it, but first you have to have an elect meter. The 6 wires in the box you will only use 2 of them. Cap the other 4 off. Use the 2 that have the correct voltage across them, 208, 220, 240 volts. The new stat is only set up for 2 hot wires 120 each. That will do it. Not to bad. be careful! Use care. Good Luck, Sincerely,

treat the blue as if it were yellow

I connected the blue wire to the R and the white wire to the W on the old thermostat and shoved the new Honeywell 5-1-1 Day programmable thermostat up the first guys *** that i ran into at Canadian Tire

Thanks for your help

I currently have a 2 wire system. I have one red and one white. I hooked the red to the R and the white to the W. I had to go into the system setup using the UP arrow button and the FAN button. The first setting is the 1 setting, and I selected number 2 ( Heating Only ). Then the 5 setting. I selected number 1 ( Gas/oil steam or gravity system ). Then 14 is usually 0 for Fahrenheit. I was just messing around and that is the buttons I used and I tested it. The furnace kicked on and then 10 to 15 secs later the air began to blow through the vents. I hope this works for others who read this.

what kind of system are you hooking it to? heat pump or heat/ac?

Is sounds like you wired it correctly, The black is a little unusual perhaps its blue, anyway, try disconnecting the wires from the thermostat and see if it shuts off. If so, then it may need to re calibrated. I will need some more info to help you anymore.
