Honeywell 08161 Programmable Thermostat

Description

This programmable thermostat can be connected to an electric heating system such as an electric baseboard, a radiant ceiling, a floor heating system, an electric convector, etc. It is not compatible with a central heating system.

Set the switch to Off to cut power to the heater. This will not affect the time and temperature settings.

Connection

TURN OFF POWER TO THE HEATING SYSTEM AT THE MAIN POWER PANEL TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

• The installation must be carried out by an electrician.
• All cables and connections must conform to the local electrical code.
• Special CO/ALR solderless connectors must be used when connecting with aluminum conductors.
• Install the thermostat onto an electrical box.
• Install the thermostat about 5 feet high, on an inside wall facing the heater.
• Avoid locations where there are air drafts (such as the top of a staircase or an air outlet), dead air spots (such as behind a door), or direct sunlight.
• Do not install the thermostat on a wall that conceals chimney or stove pipes.

1. Connect the thermostat wires to the power and to the load using solderless connectors for copper wires.
2. Push the excess wire back into the electrical box to prevent interference with the thermostat.
3. Secure the thermostat using two 6-32 screws.
4. Return power to the heating system.
   NOTE: Always keep the thermostat’s vents clean and unobstructed.

Configuration

The configuration switches are on the back of the thermostat. Default (factory) settings are inside the gray cells.

#	Configurations	UP	DN
SW1	Not used
SW2	Early Start a	Disable	Enable
SW3	Time format	12-hour	24-hour
SW4	Temperature format b	°F	°C

• Early Start can be used in Automatic mode only. When this function is enabled, the thermostat calculates the optimal time to start heating in order to obtain the desired temperature by the set time. The thermostat re-assesses the start time daily based on the previous day’s performance.
• If you change the temperature display format, the preset temperatures (, and ) will return to their default settings.

Power-up

Upon power-up, the thermostat is in manual mode and displays the room temperature.

1. Press the Hour and Min buttons to set the thermostat’s clock.
2. Press the Day button to set the day.

1. Press Mode until is displayed.
2. Set the temperature using the,or button.
   Vacation – The thermostat is set to the Vacation temperature. Press bothor buttons simultaneously to place the thermostat in Vacation mode.

Energy-saving Schedule

The schedule consists of 4 periods per day which represents a typical week day. You can program the thermostat to skip the periods that do not apply to your situation. For example, you can skip periods 2 and 3 for the weekend.

The Comfort ( ) temperature is used in periods 1 and 3 and the Economy ( ) temperature is used in periods 2 and 4. For example, when the period changes from 1 to 2, the setpoint automatically changes from Comfort setting ( ) to Economy setting ( ).
You can have a different program for each day of the week; i.e., each period can start at a different time for each day of the week. The thermostat has been programmed with the following schedule.

To modify the schedule:

1. Press Pgm to access the programming mode. Period 1 is selected.
2. Press Day to select the day to program (hold for 3 seconds to select the entire week).
3. Press Hour and Min to set the start time of the selected period, or press
   Clear if you want to skip the period (–:– is displayed).
4. Press Pgm to select another period, or press Day to select another day.
   Then repeat step 3.
5. Press Mode to exit the programming mode.
   NOTE: If no button is pressed for 60 seconds, the thermostat will automatically exit the programming mode.
