SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS Read and follow manufacturer instructions carefully. Follow all local electrical codes during installation. All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes. Improper wiring or installation may damage thermostat. Recognize safety information. This is the safety- -- -alert symbol. When you see this symbol on the equipment and in the instruction manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
INTRODUCTION The Carrier Côrt thermostat is a wall- -mounted, low- -voltage thermostat which maintains room temperature by controlling the operation of a heating and/or air conditioning system, both heat pump and air conditioner models. Your Côr thermostat has a color touch screen and interface similar to that used in smart phones.
INSTALLATION Installation Notes: The maximum wire size to be used in the installation is 22AWG (0.50mm2) with 0.8mm insulation No part of the control should be installed directly outdoors or in a cabinet outdoors The control assembly base should be mounted before wires are attached Thermostat location: Approximately 5 ft.

Step 1. Power Off the HVAC System WARNING ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD Failure to follow this warning could result in injury or death. Before installing thermostat, turn off all power to equipment. There may be more than one power disconnect. Power off the HVAC system either by a switch at the indoor furnace or fan coil or at the circuit breaker box.
Step 2. Remove Existing Thermostat Remove the cover from your old thermostat. Most snap off easily but some may be attached by screws. Note: If the old thermostat has 110/120V wires connected to the thermostat, it is a high voltage system and is not compatible with this thermostat.
Discard any jumper wires between Rh, Rc, or R. This thermostat does not need them. They are jumpered internally. When done, remove the old thermostat base by unscrewing it from the wall. Be careful not to let any wires fall back into the wall. Discard or recycle old thermostat.

Installing the optional large backplate If the small backplate doesn’t cover the marks left by the previous thermostat, attach the larger backplate instead. Remove the center piece from the small backplate by gently pushing the snap and pulling toward you. Insert the center piece into the large backplate, using the tabs on the right as a guide.
Step 4. Connect the Wiring The wires from the wall should plug easily into the terminal blocks. Adjust length and routing of each wire to reach proper terminal and connector block on mounting base with 1/4- -in. (6 mm) of extra wire. Strip only 1/4 in.

(AUX1) A14501 Fig. 8 - - Terminal Block Release Lever WARNING ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD Failure to follow this warning could result in injury or death. Before installing thermostat, turn off all power to equipment. There may be more than one power disconnect. If you need help with the wiring, refer to the wiring diagrams at the back of this guide.
System wiring diagrams covered are: Conventional heating and cooling systems Heat pumps (air or geothermal) Boilers or radiant heat systems Accessory devices: dehumidifiers, humidifiers, or ventilators Attach thermostat Push any excess wires back into the wall, and connect the thermostat to the backplate.
3. If your device still doesn’t power on check the AC voltage between Rc and C or Rh and C and ensure it is 24V AC.

WIRING DIAGRAMS (Cont.) Accessory Devices The thermostat can control an accessory HVAC device like a humidifier, dehumidifier, or ventilation device from its dry contact ACC terminals (The ACC terminals do not provide 24V AC output). If the accessory is internally powered, connect the 24V to ACC+. Also connect the common for the accessory to common on the control board.
