The Honeywell T6 Pro Programmable Thermostat Installation Manual is Honeywell Home’s technician-facing booklet for the T6 Pro touchscreen programmable thermostat. The current printing carries document number 33-00181EFS (revision 33-00181EFS-19, M.S. Rev. 05-22, © 2022 Resideo Technologies, Inc.). The English section runs pages 1 to 14, with French following and Spanish at the back, and the three model numbers it covers are TH6320U2008, TH6220U2000, and TH6210U2001.
Where the guide says “shaded areas apply only to TH6320U / TH6220U” or “(TH6320U only),” read that as a real limit: the smaller TH6210U is a single-compressor model and does not carry the second-stage, sensor, and dual-fuel options. The installer-setup table below shows which functions are gated to a specific model so you do not chase an option that does not exist on the unit in front of you.
Contents
Before You Start: Box, Tools, and Power
Page 1 lists what is in the box: the T6 Pro thermostat, the UWP™ Mounting System, a decorative cover plate, screws and anchors, two AA batteries, and the thermostat literature. The cover plate comes in two physical shapes and the guide walks each one:
- Square cover plate. Separate the cover plate from its mounting plate, fix the mounting plate to the wall using any of its eight screw holes, hang the UWP on the top hook, snap the bottom of the UWP in, then snap the cover plate onto the mounting plate.
- Rectangular cover plate. Mount the cover plate directly to the wall with any of its six screw holes, hang the UWP on its top hook, and snap the UWP bottom into place.
Drill sizes are fixed by anchor color: 7/32 in (5.6 mm) for the red anchors and 3/16 in (4.8 mm) for the yellow anchors, with #8 1-1/2 in (38 mm) screws for red and #6 1-1/2 in (38 mm) for yellow. Page 2 opens every mounting path with the same rule: turn the power off at the breaker box or the system switch before you do anything else.
Terminals, Power Options, and the Slider Tabs
The UWP carries a wide set of terminals, but not all of them are live on the T6 Pro. The guide is explicit about which are used and which are “Not used for T3 thermostat” on the smaller variants. This is the reference table:
| Terminal |
Function |
| R |
24 VAC power from the heating transformer (jumpable via R slider tab) |
| Rc |
24 VAC power from the cooling transformer (jumpable via R slider tab) |
| C |
24 VAC common; on two-transformer systems, from the cooling transformer |
| W |
Heat stage 1. Do not use this terminal for heat pump applications |
| W2 / AUX |
Auxiliary heat, or Heat stage 2 on conventional multistage systems |
| Y |
Compressor contactor, stage 1 |
| Y2 |
Compressor contactor, stage 2 |
| G |
Fan |
| O/B |
Heat pump changeover valve |
| E |
Emergency heat (TH6320U) |
| L/A |
Heat pump fault input; the common (C) wire is required when L/A is used |
| S |
Wired indoor or outdoor sensor input (TH6320U / TH6220U only) |
| K, U |
Unused |
The R/Rc slider tab is the built-in jumper on the UWP. If you have only one R wire, no matter whether it landed on R, Rc, or Rh on the old base, leave the slider in the up (one-wire) position. If you have separate wires on R and Rc, move the slider to the down (two-wire) position. The guide adds one T6 Pro specific instruction: the U-terminal slider tabs should be left in place.
Power options. The R and C terminals are the primary 24 VAC supply; the C terminal is optional only because the two AA batteries can carry the thermostat on their own, and the guide still recommends wiring C. Insert the two AA cells for primary power on battery-only installs, or as backup power alongside 24 VAC.
Wiring Diagrams by System Type
Pages 4 and 5 print the wiring diagrams the installer matches to the equipment. The conventional set on page 4 covers 1H/1C with one or two transformers, heat-only, heat-only with fan, heat-only Series 20 (radiant zone valve wiring), heat-only power-open zone valve, cool-only, and 2H/2C with one transformer. The heat pump set on page 5 covers 1H/1C, 2H/1C with auxiliary and emergency heat, 2H/2C, 3H/2C, and Dual Fuel. Model limits the guide prints:
- The second compressor stage (Y2) and the auxiliary/emergency heat pair (AUX and E) apply on the larger heat-pump models. The 3H/2C and the Y2-equipped Dual Fuel arrangements are called out as TH6320U only.
- Where the old base has separate wires on AUX and E, both go into the combined E/AUX terminal; a wire that ran to AUX with a jumper over to E is handled the same way and needs no jumper on the T6 Pro.
- Wire specification printed on both pages is 18- to 22-gauge thermostat wire; shielded cable is not required.
The Series 20 and power-open-zone-valve arrangements come with an ISU pairing: in the Installer Setup, set Heat system type to Radiant Heat and Cool stages to 0 (notes [5]). The 2H/2C conventional system uses note [6]: in Installer Setup, set system type to 2 Heat / 2 Cool Conventional. Reversing valve polarity is note [7]: set the changeover valve in Installer Setup to O (cool changeover) or B (heat changeover). The heat-pump stage counts are notes [8], [9], and [10]; they pick which compressor and backup-heat combination ISU 200, 220, 221, and 255 have to match.
Mounting the UWP and the Thermostat
Pages 2 and 6 combine into a short physical sequence. Turn off the breaker or system switch. Position the UWP, level it, mark the holes, drill to the anchor color, and tap the anchors flush. Pull open the UWP door, feed the wires through the wiring hole, place the UWP on the anchors, tighten the mounting screws with the correct screw size for the anchor color until the plate no longer moves, and close the door. On page 6 the guide tells you to push any excess wire back into the wall opening, close the door so it does not bulge, align and snap the thermostat onto the UWP, and only then restore power at the breaker or switch.
With power back on, page 6 covers the first-time set of clock and date. Press Menu, arrow to TIME (12 or 24 hour format, hour, minutes), then DATE (year, month, day). Pressing Select at each step saves and advances.
Installer Setup (ISU) Reference
Page 8 opens the ISU section with the entry key: press and hold CENTER together with the second button shown on page 8 for about three seconds to enter the advanced menu, then Select to enter ISU. Cycle options with Select, change values with the up/down arrows, and press Home when you are done to save and return to the Home screen. The guide’s full list runs pages 8 to 10; defaults shown in bold are the ones the manual marks as the shipped values. Model-gated rows are called out. The functions installers change most:

Getting Help
The back-page customer assistance block on page 14 points installers to customer.resideo.com and to Resideo Customer Care at 1-800-468-1502, and the FCC statement is available at the same Resideo support path. The mailing address printed in the same footer is Resideo Technologies Inc., 1985 Douglas Drive North, Golden Valley, MN 55422. The identifier to quote when you call is the document marking on the booklet cover, 33-00181EFS-19, plus the model number on the back of the thermostat (TH6320U2008, TH6220U2000, or TH6210U2001).
Because this booklet is the installation guide, homeowner-side operation (schedules, overrides, alerts, and cleaning) is documented in the matching T6 Pro user guide, not here. If your question is about how the thermostat behaves day to day, ask the installer for that guide or download it separately.
