Here’s a step-by-step guide to installing the optional cover plate⁚

1. Decide if you need the cover plate⁚ As mentioned, the cover plate is optional. You can skip this step if you’re mounting the thermostat directly to the wall and don’t have any paint gaps to cover.
2. Position the cover plate⁚ If you’ve decided to use the cover plate, carefully position it on the wall where you intend to install the thermostat. Ensure it’s level and mark the hole locations for mounting.
3. Drill holes and install anchors⁚ Using the marked positions, drill holes in the wall. Gently tap the supplied wall anchors into the holes to provide a secure mounting surface.
4. Mount the cover plate⁚ Align the cover plate with the drilled holes and gently screw it into place using the supplied mounting screws. Ensure the screws are tightened securely, but avoid overtightening, which could damage the cover plate.

Once the cover plate is securely mounted, you can proceed with the installation of the UWP Mounting System, which will support the thermostat itself.

UWP Mounting System Installation

The UWP Mounting System is the foundation for your Honeywell TH6220U2000/U thermostat. It provides a secure and stable platform for the thermostat to be mounted on the wall. This section outlines the steps involved in installing the UWP Mounting System.

1. Safety First⁚ Before starting the installation, ensure the power to the circuit is switched off at the breaker box or switch. This is a crucial safety precaution to prevent electrical hazards.
2. Locate the UWP⁚ Open the package to find the UWP Mounting System. It’s a key component of the thermostat installation and should be easily identifiable.
3. Position the UWP⁚ Position the UWP on the wall where you intend to install the thermostat. Use a level to ensure the UWP is perfectly horizontal. Mark the hole positions for mounting.
4. Drilling and Anchoring⁚ At the marked positions, drill holes in the wall. Then, gently tap the supplied wall anchors into the holes. These anchors provide a secure hold in different wall types.
5. Secure the UWP⁚ Align the UWP with the drilled holes and use the supplied screws (8 1-1/2 for red anchors and 6 1-1/2 for yellow anchors) to securely mount it to the wall. Ensure the screws are tight but avoid overtightening.

After the UWP Mounting System is installed, you’ll need to move on to the wiring process, which involves connecting the thermostat to your existing heating and cooling system.

Wiring Conventional Systems

Connecting your Honeywell TH6220U2000/U thermostat to your existing heating and cooling system is a crucial step in the installation process. This section provides instructions for wiring the thermostat to conventional forced air and hydronic systems. Always ensure power is turned off at the breaker box or switch before working with electrical wiring.

Forced Air Systems⁚

1. Identify the Wires⁚ Locate the wires connected to your existing thermostat. They are typically color-coded, making identification easier. Common wire colors include red (R), green (G), yellow (Y), white (W), and blue (C).
2. Match the Wires⁚ Carefully match the colors of the wires from your existing thermostat to the corresponding terminals on the Honeywell TH6220U2000/U thermostat. Refer to the wiring diagram in the user manual for accurate placement.
3. Secure the Connections⁚ Once the wires are connected, ensure they are securely fastened to the terminals. Loose connections can cause malfunctions.
4. Test the Connections⁚ Before turning the power back on, visually inspect the connections to ensure they are secure and properly connected.

Hydronic Systems⁚

The wiring for hydronic systems differs from forced air systems. Consult the user manual for specific instructions and wiring diagrams tailored to hydronic systems.

After completing the wiring, carefully turn the power back on and verify the thermostat is functioning correctly. The thermostat should now be able to control your heating and cooling system effectively.
