I have a red, a green, and a white wire. Is this unit compatible with that wiring set up?

No. 4 wires are required for a heat only setup and 5 are required for heating and cooling. There are kits that allow a 4 wire setup for heating and cooling, but you lose independent fan control with those kits. The unit needs power from the furnace from 2 wires - a 24 volt hot wire and a common aka "c" wire and 2 wires for the heat and fan signals in a heat only application. The 5th wire is for the cooling signal.

it does not matter how the connector color, you should check your model number for compatibility

Sorry, I don't seem to have the same wire colors coming out of this fixture. I wired it (as seen in the first chart on http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_5/chpt_2/2.html) as blue = neutral (white), light brown = hot (black), green/yellow striped = ground, and it works for me.

No, only use the red and black wire. tape up the end of the green wire so it will not be exposed.

There is a 4-pin connector on this item. The wire colors are: Black, Red, Yellow, and Green. Hope this helps!

It's for you to know how you wire your system. It's doesn't matter which one you use for positive or negative. I use white to signal I hooked it up to positive.

The quick-connect pigtail (3 wires) supplied with this unit are 18 AWG, so wiring that size or larger should suffice (however, it would probably be prudent to check your local electrical codes). I hooked mine up to the same size wiring they used in the rest of my house and that worked fine (better for the wire to be too large than too small!). Here's what the wires attach to: Black Connected to live (L) side of AC line White Connected to neutral (N) side of AC line Red Connected to interconnect lines (red wires) of other units in a multiple-station set-up (if you connect units together with the red wire, if one goes off, it'll tell the others to sound off, too).

Mine didn't have a white wire. I used red=VDD, black=GND, and Yellow=Signal.

My guess is the reds are your 120v wires. On mine the blue go to 170v B+ and the white go to 6.3v tube heater supply. Try the red on 120 and test with a meter to be sure your blues and whites are not crossed.

Absolutely, the red wire 24v cannot contact the blue common wire or you'll blow your 3-5a fuse in your air handler as well as a shock. Also some miscreant installer may not have used the correct color wire. I install hvac systems btw.

yes, if you wire it correct. there are only three wires, ground, positive and negative.

You need to hire or find someone who can read the wiring diagram that came with the unit. Sorry, don't mean to sound short, but it was pretty easy for me. Can't give you a step by step through this text box.

Three wires rgb indicates red green blue. V indicates ground or negative. Use a dmx512. Use youtube for I structions

Match up the color of the wires. In my case two of them were reversed from the old capacitor, but if you simply match the colors it should work fine.

I would have to agree with the other answer and would not use a different wire unless you know for certain it is compatible. The best way is to check corsair website and see if they have the compatible wire.

Honestly I had the same problem. the wires aren't lined up right. you have them matched incorrectly. hard to know without a diagram. I had someone help me with a lead tester. that helped to at least identify the hot wires. then you just match them up to the right ones on the unit.

You should have a black and a red. That go's positive and negative. The other wire (yellow or red) should go to your switch.
