Hi,
I'm looking to replace the thermostat in my condo with a digital programmable (possibly a Honeywell from Canadian Tire). The current one is a Danfoss RET-24 (24V version) and the current configuration for it is:
Black wire to -> Rc/24V~
Red wire to -> Rh/24V~
Green wire to -> W/On
Brown wire to -> Y/Off
The thermostat controls the in-floor radiant heating in our condo and that's it. So a few questions.
1. Can I use one of the Honeywell's from Canadian Tire, such as Honeywell Touch Thermostat, 7-Day?
2. Would there be anything unique about how I have to hook it up? The whole Rc/24V~ things confuses me as this thermostat doesn't control any cooling unit (which from what I gather Rc stands for). Would I jumper Rc and Rh, or is that even where the black and red wires would connect?
3. I've shut off my all my breakers and the light on the thermostat still stays on, so I'm guessing the power is coming from somewhere else in the condo complex, is that a problem when installing the new one?
Thanks for your help.
