    The NT-PWIRE Phantom Wire device allows the installer to connect any NetX thermostat when a common wire is not available in the existing thermostat cable.  This handy device creates a phantom wire. In many existing installations, older thermostat cables don't have a common (24VAC common) wire because they were not needed for the mechanical thermostats originally installed.

    Years ago, it was typical for the cable to only have four (4) conductors. The NT-PWIRE creates the common wire so the HVAC unit can be used along with any NetX thermostat or just about any other thermostat requiring a 24VAC common.  Additionally, the NT-PWIRE includes screwless terminals, color-coded wiring for the HVAC unit connection, and LEDs on the unit to show power, heat, cool, and fan calls are being created from the thermostat, practically eliminating troubleshooting.
