Total comfort temperature management with Smart Response Technology
Congratulations! You made a smart choice by purchasing your new Honeywell thermostat; the smart thermostat that:
- Keeps you comfortable by automatically calculating exactly when the furnace or air conditioning should go on to have the house at the desired comfort temperature by the time you wake up or return home.
- Saves the maximum amount of energy and money by automatically remembering to adjust the temperature when you leave home or go to sleep.
- Provides the ultimate in comfort and convenience. It comes preprogrammed. You can use the preprogrammed schedule or set your own.
This manual answers many of the questions that can arise as you become familiar and comfortable with your
Honeywell thermostat the state-of-the-art in-home comfort control. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow these instructions can damage the product or cause a hazardous condition.
MERCURY NOTICE
If this thermostat is replacing a control that contains mercury in a sealed tube, do not place your old control in the trash. Contact your local waste management authority for instructions regarding recycling and the proper disposal of this control, or of an old control containing mercury in a sealed tube.
TYPICAL LOCATION OF A MERCURY SWITCH IN A THERMOSTAT
Product Overview
STEP 1. PREPARE FOR INSTALLATION
Check the contents of your thermostat package to be sure all items are included.
Package Contents
- Thermostat
- Wallplate
- Owners Guide
- Wiring labels
- Screws and anchors
! Locate the required tools to install your thermostat.
Tools Required
- Screwdriver
- Drill
- Drill bits: 3/16 in. for drywall;
- Hammer
- Needle-nose pliers 7/32 in. for plaster
STEP 2. REMOVE OLD THERMOSTAT
- Test your heating and cooling systems to make sure they work properly. If either system 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).
- Turn off power to the system at the furnace or the fuse/circuit breaker panel.
- Carefully unpack your new thermostat and wallplate. Save package of screws, instructions, and receipt.
- Remove the cover from the old thermostat. If the cover does not snap off when pulled firmly from the bottom, check for a screw or screws used to lock on the cover.
- Loosen the screw or screws holding the thermostat to the wallplate and lift the thermostat away.
- Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat. As you disconnect each wire, attach the enclosed labels with the old terminal designation. If there are only two wires, they do not need to be labeled. Wrap the wires around a pencil as shown to keep them from falling back into the wall.
Special Installations
Read this section if you are replacing:
- Clock thermostat with separate wires for the clock.
- Thermostat with six or more wires connected to it.
- The thermostat in a heating-only system with three wires.
Replacing a Clock Thermostat that has C or C1 Clock Terminals
When replacing a Honeywell Chronotherm® Thermostat, you may find one or two wires going to the C or C1 clock terminals on the Chronotherm wiring wallplate. Do not allow them to touch, or you can damage the transformer. Disconnect the wires and wrap them separately using electrical tape. Do not wrap them together. Place the wires, where they will not interfere with the operation of the new thermostat. Record the colors and terminal designation labels of the remaining wires.
Replacing a Thermostat that has Six or More Wires
If there are six or more wires (excluding clock wires attached to terminals), you probably have a variation of a multistage heat pump or another multistage system. This thermostat is not compatible with multistage systems, so return the product to the place of purchase. For information about which programmable thermostats will work with your system, call Honeywell Customer Care at 1-800-468-1502.
Replacing a Thermostat that has Three Wires
If you have three wires for a heating-only system and can operate the fan using the fan On switch this thermostat works
with your system. However, some hot water (zoned) heating systems also have three wires. Your thermostat will work only if you install an isolating relay on these systems. For details, call your local heating and/or cooling contractor.STEP 3.
MOUNT THERMOSTAT WALLPLATE
- Separate the wallplate from the thermostat by placing your thumbs between the bottom of the wallplate and the thermostat and pulling the wallplate up and away from the thermostat. See illustration.
- position the wallplate on the wall. Level wallplate for appearance, if desired. Use a pencil to mark two mounting holes that best fit the application.
- Remove the wallplate from the wall. Drill two 3/16 in. holes in the wall (if drywall) as shown. For plaster or wood, drill 7/32 in. holes as marked. Gently tap (provided) anchors into drilled holes until flush with the wall.
- reposition wallplate over holes. Pull wires through the wiring opening. Loosely insert mounting screws into each of the holes.
- Level wallplate, if desired. The thermostat functions correctly, even when not level.
- Tighten mounting screws.
STEP 4. WIRE WALLPLATE TERMINALS
IMPORTANT
All wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances.
If unsure about household wiring procedures, call your local heating/air-conditioning contractor. Refer to the labels you placed on the wires when you removed the old thermostat (see illustration).
- Match the letter of the old thermostat wire with the corresponding terminal letter on the new thermostat. Refer to Table 1.
- Remove the factory-installed jumper connecting terminals R and RC if wires are connected to both of those terminals.
- For wiring diagrams, if needed, see the Wiring Diagrams section.
- Loosen terminal screws. Slip each wire beneath the matching terminal. Wraparound and straight connections are both acceptable, (see illustration). Tighten terminals.
- Plug the hole in the wall with insulation to help prevent drafts from adversely affecting thermostat operation.
Table 1. Terminal Designations on Old and New Thermostats.
The terminal on Old Thermostat | Connect To | Description |
R, RHA, 4, V | R | Power |
Rc, Ra | Rc | Power for cooling |
W, W1, H | W | Heat |
Y, Y1, M | Y | Cooling |
G, F | G | Fan |
O | O | The changeover in cool. (Single-stage heat pump only). |
Bb | Bb | The changeover in heat. (Single-stage heat pump only). |
Cc, Xc, Bb | Do not connect. | Transformer common |
W2, H2 | Do not continue the installation. Call 1-800-468-1502. | Second stage heat. |
Y2 | The second stage is cool. |
- if both RH and R terminals are present on the existing thermostat, remove the jumper and connect Rh to R and R to Rc.
- Do not connect both O and B when wiring to a single-stage heat pump. Connect O to O. Tape off B.
- Tape off end of the wire with electrical tape and push the taped wire back into the wiring hole in the wall.
STEP 5. INSTALL THE BATTERIES
IMPORTANT
Three fresh AA alkaline batteries must be installed for the programming and operation of the thermostat and the heating/ cooling system.
- Install the batteries in the wallplate so the positive terminals all point up (see illustration).
- If the thermostat is already mounted on the wall, remove the thermostat by placing your thumb between the thermostat and wallplate and pulling the thermostat up and away as shown on the next page.
- When the batteries are running low, a REPL BAT message flashes for one to two months before the batteries run out completely. Replace the batteries as soon as possible once the message flashes.
IMPORTANT
Although the thermostat has a low battery indicator, replace the batteries once per year to prevent leakage and to prevent the thermostat and heating/cooling system from shutting down due to the lack of battery power in the thermostat. - If you insert new batteries within 20 to 30 seconds of removing the old batteries, the system retains the current time and day. If the display is blank, the batteries are dead or installed incorrectly. You must reset the time and day. Refer to Step 9. Set the Clock for instructions.
As a precaution when leaving home for longer than a month, change batteries before leaving to prevent the system from shutting down due to lack of power. Always use fresh alkaline batteries. Non alkaline batteries do not last as long and can leak, causing damage to the thermostat and the wall surface.
STEP 6. SET FAN OPERATION SWITCH
The thermostat fan operation switch, labeled FUEL SWITCH, is factory set in the F position. This is the correct setting for most systems. If your system is an electric heat system, set the switch to E. The E setting allows the fan to turn on immediately with the heating and cooling in a system where the G terminal is connected.
STEP 7. MOUNT THE THERMOSTAT
