Is this the install guide that came with your unit?

http://www.airconditioner-parts.com/...stallation.pdf

My single transformer oil burner only uses 2 wires to the thermostat
(T T in fig 6 ?) and I'm wondering if a jumper between RC & R
provides power to the thermostat?

Right now, my old Honeywell MagicStat runs off two AA cells.
But it doesn't have to power a back-light or a touch screen.

I think the Honeywell just puts a short across the T T lines when calling for heat.
That seems like it would short out any power being provided to the
fancy new thermostat.?.

I don't know much about thermostats..

~~~

I see where the out-door sensor (S1 & S2) hooks up, and I'm wondering if that's just a simple thermistor?

Thanks,
Rich
