In Thermostat Wiring Diagram. Note that the only load that has a complete loop is the heat fed by the w wire. 7 wire thermostat wiring diagram.
Heating call for heat normally open common. C is known as the common terminal. Note that the only load that has a complete loop is the heat fed by the w wire.
1 heat 1 cool thermostat.
If both o and b are present connect only the o wire. These two connections will ensure that there is power to the thermostat that you are. One is for cool and the other is for heat hence the abbreviation rh and rc. It stands for the physical parts of the electrical circuit as geometric shapes with the actual power and link connections in between them as thin sides.
