BEFOREAFTER
Compatibility Check
Confirm you have a G and Y wire
Look at your wires. Do you have BOTH a G and Y wire labeled?
YES – This means your system is compatible. Proceed to Step 2.
NO – Your system is not compatible with the C-Wire Adapter. Call 1-855-733-5465 to find a pro-installer.
Relabel your G wire to be C
Use the provided labels.
Relabel your Y wire to be K
Use the provided labels.
Go to your furnace or heating system
This system is often located in your basement, attic, or garage. Bring labels, flashlight, screwdriver and phone.
Remove cover of furnace or heating system
Open the furnace or heating system’s cover to find the control board.
Note: You may need to unscrew the cover (top or bottom).
Leave the power off.
Locate the bundle of wires that are the same as the ones at your thermostat
Take a picture of the wiring
Take multiple pictures from different angles to capture all of the letters next to the terminals.
G
C
R
W or W1 (not in all systems)
Y or Y1
Be sure to include the terminal labels and wires. You may need to reference this image later.
Note: If you have wires connected to 2 R terminals, then you have a two-transformer system. Call 1-855-733-5465 to find a pro installer.
Label the wires
Use the provided stickers to label the wires connected to the following terminals:
G
R
W or W1 (not in all systems)
Y or Y1
Note: If multiple wires are connected to a terminal, only label the wires running to your thermostat.
Disconnect the labeled wires
Be sure you have taken a photo of your wires before disconnecting.
Disconnect only the wires that you just labeled. Do not disconnect any unlabeled wires.
If unlabeled wires disconnect, replace immediately.
Note: You may need a screwdriver to release wires from terminals.
Connect wires to the C-Wire Adapter
Firmly depress the terminal tabs and insert the labeled wires into the “Thermostat” side of your C-Wire Adapter.
Insert the wires into their corresponding terminals as shown below.
Ensure the wires are connected
Gently tug on the wires to be sure they are connected to the C-Wire Adapter.
Connect wires to control board
Take the wires from the “Equipment” side of your C-Wire Adapter and connect them to the control board.
Be sure to remove the plastic tips and insert the wires into their corresponding terminals as shown below.
Mount C-Wire Adapter

Note: Make sure your wires are not over extended or strained.
a) Clean the surface
b) Firmly press the adhesive
c) Mount the C-Wire Adapter
Mount anywhere inside the furnace.
Close the cover to the furnace or heating system
Be sure the cover is completely closed. Some systems will not power up if the cover is not fully closed.
