Skytech Wireless and Santa Fe

[pointbreakd]

I feel silly asking this, but I can't figure out how to connect the wires from the Skytech (black box) to the back of my Santa Fe.

The Santa Fe T-stat (the one that came with the unit) is connected with screws. The Skytech is a different type of connection. How do I do it? Anyone have pictures?

Thanks so much,

Not sure what you mean. The skytech should have two wires and your Santa Fe has two screws terminals. Just strip the wire down and wrap one around each screw terminal unless it already has the crimp on connectors, In that case just loosen the screws and insert each crimp connector under a screw. Not much to it. It is just like connecting the thermostat that came with the stove.

Ah, unwrapping the wires - didn't think of that. It has connectors but they are terminal connections (kinda like http://g01.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1nIuK...ale-font-b-Spade-b-font-font-b-Terminal-b.jpg) - so I can't connect without stripping as far as I can tell.

Yep....cut them off and strip the wire and wrap around the unscrewed (backed out a bit) terminals. If you want to do it right, buy the crimp on connectors and put them on. You can get them at just about any hardware store, Home Depot or Lowes. No need for fancy tools. Wire cutters/strippers and pliers will do just fine.
