HVAC system testing

If you have difficulty with the HVAC system operation, you can do the following test to verify the HVAC system is operational.

Thermostats, like the SmartCommand thermostat, are just switches to the HVAC system as shown in the Figure 20. This is a simplified example of a thermostat and a standard HVAC wiring diagram. You can test the HVAC system operation by duplicating the thermostat switch operation by shorting across the thermostat terminals on the HVAC system.

Note: The HVAC system and thermostat connection voltage is 24 VAC. This is a safe voltage to work with, but be careful to avoid shorting the 24 VAC common (C) and 24 VAC return (R) terminals. This may blow a fuse in the HVAC system.
