I am trying to figure out the heating system in my house, and so I am trying to "trace the wires" from each heater back to the circuit-breaker panel.
I have all the wires for each heater figured out except for the "pilot" wires.
(Each heater has a hot wire, neutral wire, ground wire, and a "pilot" wire. The pilot wire connects from the heater to the remote thermostat and is supposed to receive a signal from the thermostat to turn the heater from "comfort" mode to "night" mode.)
Tracing the hot/neutral and ground wires was easy with a multi-meter. (Just look for voltage.)
The problem is that I am not sure how to trace back the "pilot" wire because it is only a single wire and there is no voltage on it.
Does anyone know how I can do this? How do I figure out which pilot wire in the circuit-breaker panel belongs to which heater when there is only a single wire for each heater?
Thanks!
