Does TT solo 110 have C wiring?

My current wired thermostat terminal R and W are connected to solo 110' s 24 volt circuit terminal 7 and 8. The thermostat requires battery so I believe it doesn't get power from Solo 110. Those terminal 7/8 are the only terminals on Solo 110 available for thermostat wiring according to the manual.

I'm trying to install a new wireless thermostat unit that gets power from boiler. Besides R and W, it requires C terminal connection from boiler for power. So does this mean that Solo 110 doesn't want to power 24volt thermostat? Do I need to get a separate transformer?

Thanks in advance.

If you cannot measure 24VAC between 7 or 8 to ground you will need a transformer and isolation relay.

I was afraid that would be the case. Can you elaborate more on how to wire the transformer and relay? The transformer's two terminal will need to connect to R and C of thermostat right? Than where do relay terminals connect to? Is there any transformer/relay unit that's made for this that I can just buy and plug in?

which thermostat are you using? Depending on the model of thermostat you may not need a relay. You will need 4 wires to the thermostat without using a relay. You would need 3 wires to the thermostat when using a relay.

I would get a better stat myself, but here is how you will need to hook your current stat up. You WILL need a relay with your current stat.

I'd start by measuring for 24VAC between 7 and ground then 8 to ground.
You could get lucky.

Great. Thanks for the drawings. That helps alot. I confirmed with TT tech support that solo 110's 24volt circuit is not designed to power anything.

HW fan control above looks like just the one that I need. Just to double check, I can wire the transformer into 120v outlet to power it right?

Yes, if you wire a cord to the it.

4x4 j-box, and a romex connector is also required.
