Acquire tools and items as needed. See Fig. 1.

REMOVE OLD THERMOSTAT
Test to make certain that your heating and air conditioning systems (where applicable) are working properly. If either does not work, contact your local heating/air conditioning dealer. To avoid compressor damage, do not operate the cooling system when the outdoor temperature is below 50°F (10°C).

CAUTION
Be careful when handling wires during installation. Damage to the heating/cooling system is possible. Disconnect power at the furnace or at the main breaker/
fuse box before starting the operation. Carefully unpack your new thermostat, wallplate, and decorator cover plate; save a package of screws, instructions, and a receipt. Remove the cover from the old thermostat. If it does not snap off when pulled firmly from the bottom, check for a screw used to lock on the cover. Loosen screws holding the thermostat to the subbase, wallplate, to the wall, and lift away. Disconnect wires from the old thermostat or subbase. As you disconnect each wire, use masking tape to label it with the old terminal designation. If there are only two wires, they do not need labeling. Wrap wires around a pencil to keep them from falling back into the wall as shown in Fig. 2.

Replacing the Clock With C or C1 Clock Terminals

If you are replacing a Honeywell Chronotherm¨ Thermostat, you may find one or two wires that go to the C or C1 clock terminals on the Chronotherm¨ Thermostat wiring wallplate. Do not allow them to touch, or you can damage your transformer. Disconnect the wires and wrap them separately using electrical tape; do not wrap them together. Place the wires to avoid interfering with the new thermostat operation. Record the colors and terminal designation labels of the remaining wires.

Six or More Wires
If there are six or more wires connected to the thermostat (excluding clock wires attached to terminals), you probably have a variation of a multistage heat pump or another multistage system. The thermostat is not compatible with such systems so return the product to your retailer. If you would like information about which programmable thermostats work with your system, call Honeywell Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-468-1502.

Three Thermostat Wires
If you have three wires for heating only and can operate the fan using the FAN ON switch, this thermostat works with your system. However, some hot water (zoned) heating systems have three thermostat wires. The thermostat will work only if you install an isolating relay on these systems. For details, call Honeywell Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-468-1502.

MOUNT WALLPLATE
IMPORTANT
Level for appearance only. The thermostat functions normally even when not mounted level. Position the decorator cover plate and wallplate on the wall. Level the wallplate for appearance if desired. Use a pencil to mark the two mounting holes that best fit the application. See Fig. 3.

• Remove the decorator cover plate and wallplate from the wall, and drill two 3/16-inch holes in the wall (if drywall). For firmer wall material such as plaster or wood, drill 7/32-inch holes. Gently tap provided anchors into the drilled holes until flush with the wall.
• Reposition the decorator cover plate and wallplate, pulling wires through the wiring opening. Loosely insert the mounting screws into the holes.
• Level for appearance only; the thermostat functions properly even when not level. Tighten the mounting

WIRE WALLPLATE TERMINALS
The CT2700 Thermostat is powered through the heating/ cooling system and is adaptable to most 4-wire, 18 to 30 Vac heating-cooling systems. Refer to Figs. 4 through 6 for some typical system wiring diagrams

Fig. 5. CT2700 wiring diagram, 2-wire, heat-only system.

IMPORTANT
Use an 18-gauge maximum wire to wire the thermostat All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and ordinances. If unsure about household wiring procedures, call your local heating and air conditioning contractor. Refer to the masking tape labels you placed on wires when you removed your old thermostat. Match the letter of your old thermostat wire with the terminal of the corresponding letter on your new thermostat. Refer to Fig. 7.

NOTE: To ensure proper mounting of the thermostat, restrict all wiring to the left side of the terminals. Loosen the terminal screws and slip each wire beneath its matching terminal. The shape of the terminals permits the insertion of straight or wraparound connections. See Fig. 8. Tighten the terminals

Plug the hole in the wall with insulation to help prevent drafts from adversely affecting the thermostat operation.

ADJUST THE FAN OPERATION SWITCH
The thermostat fan operation switch, labeled fuel switch in Fig. 9, is set at the factory in the F (gas/oil fuel) position. This is the correct setting for most systems. If this system is an electric heat system, set the switch to the E (electric) position. The E setting allows the fan to turn on immediately with the heating or cooling equipment in a system where the G terminal is connected.

MOUNT THERMOSTAT TO WALLPLATE
Align the tab and connector pins at the top of the thermostat with the wallplate. See Fig. 10.

Press the thermostat straight onto the wallplate to latch.
NOTE: To remove the thermostat from the wallplate, grasp the thermostat on both sides and pull the thermostat straight out. Restore power to the heating/cooling system.

PROGRAM YOUR THERMOSTAT
The thermostat is preprogrammed for your convenience with the following time and temperature settings, see Table 2.
