Abbreviations HVAC: Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning system Terminal Assignments For reference, standard wiring assignments for typical HVAC systems are provided below. HP: Heat Pump System. This type of HVAC system uses a compressor with a reversing valve to provide both heating and cooling capability. HE: Electrically heated central heating system. This system uses an electric heating element along with a fan and ducting. Sometimes used as AUX/Emergency heat with a heat pump system.
Installation Details 1. Gather the tools you will need and check that your iDevices® Thermostat came with the necessary components (see page 4). Warnings And Safety Information Do not select COOL mode if the outside temperature is below 50ºF (10ºC). This could damage the cooling system. 2. Test your existing system. Using your old thermostat, turn on the heating/cooling functions (if applicable) to verify everything is functioning normally. 3.
