Honeywell T8132C Programmable Thermostat

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the world of comfort and energy savings with your new Honeywell Programmable Thermostat. Your new T8132C Thermostat automatically controls the temperature in your home, keeping you comfortable while saving energy when programmed according to the instructions in this manual.

Programming Thermostat

When you program the thermostat, set one schedule for weekdays and another for weekends, because your temperature requirements probably vary. (During weekends, only the WAKE and SLEEP periods are available.) Use the personal Program Schedule for planning your program schedule of time and temperature settings for various times of the day. Four time periods are available during weekdays— WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN, and SLEEP. View these periods individually on the display when you press the Set Schedule key. Select WAKE if you want the house at a comfortable temperature when you get up, while you get ready for work or school. When deciding what time to set for your WAKE period, include extra lead time, depending on the outside temperature and your furnace response time, to give the furnace a head start to heat the house before you get up. (This will be a higher temperature during the heating season, or a lower temperature during the cooling season.) Select LEAVE if you want an energy-saving temperature while you are away at work or school. (This will be a lower temperature during the heating season, or a higher temperature during the cooling season.) Select RETURN if you want the house at a comfortable temperature for activities before bedtime. When deciding what time to set for your RETURN period, include extra lead time, depending on the outside temperature and your furnace response time, to give the furnace a head start to heat the house before you arrive home. (Again, higher for heating or lower for cooling.) Select SLEEP if you want an energy-saving temperature while you are sleeping. (For more comfortable sleeping, some homeowners choose not to raise the cool temperature during the night.) Fill in the times and temperatures you desire for weekdays and weekends. If you decide not to program the thermostat, it automatically controls heating at 68°F (20°C) and cooling at 78°F (26°C), 24 hours a day. Also, you do not need to enter a time and temperature program for all periods if your schedule does not require it. For example, a house that is occupied during weekdays would not require programs for LEAVE and RETURN. When pressing the keys, use the ball of your finger or a soft pencil eraser.

NOTE: Using sharp fingernails or pencil points can damage the keypad. If you make an error at any time during programming, press the Run Program key, and continue again at the last step.

T8132C Programming Guide

Set Current Time/Day
To set time, press and release once, and press until current time shows; to set the day, press and release again, and press until current day shows; then press

Heating Program

• With the system switches at HEAT, press and release once. WAKE, MON-FRI, and SET appear on the display
• Press to program the WAKE time and press to program the WAKE temperature for MON-FRI. Repeat the sequence for LEAVE, RETURN, and SLEEP.

Cooling Program

• With the system switch at COOL, follow the same instructions as for Heating Program.
• After programming, adjust the fan and system switches, as desired. Press and release to start the program.
• A quick guide for operating or making changes follows.
• Temporarily Change temperature for current period only—press temperature is canceled at next scheduled change; to cancel sooner, press
• Hold a temperature indefinitely—press; to cancel, press,” to cancel, press
• Check Current Temperature Setting—press
• Check Programs—press, repeatedly to see each time and temperature; then press
• Cancel a program—press, until a program to cancel shows; then press

• Permanently Change a program—repeat steps in Heating Program or Cooling Program sections (pages 5 and 6), as applicable.
• Return to normal program or start program —press

Setting Fan and System Switches

First set the fan switch.

• AUTO: Normal setting for most homes. A single-speed fan turns on automatically with the air conditioner or furnace. A two-speed fan usually runs on high with the air conditioner and runs on low with the furnace.
• ON: The fan runs continuously. Use for improved air circulation during special occasions or for more efficient electronic air cleaning

Then set the system switch.

• COOL: The thermostat controls your air conditioning system.
• OFF: Both the heating and air conditioning systems are off.
• HEAT: The thermostat controls your heating system

Changing Batteries

As the batteries run low, the bAt Lo indicator flashes for one to two months before the batteries run out completely. Replace the batteries as soon as possible after the indicator starts flashing. If you do not replace the batteries when the indicator light is flashing bAt Lo, the indicator stops flashing. When the batteries are almost completely dead, bAt Lo stays on without flashing to indicate the thermostat and heating/ cooling system has stopped working After the batteries are completely dead, the Bat Lo indicator disappears, leaving a completely blank display.

•  Use two AA alkaline batteries; non-alkaline batteries do not last as long. We recommend Energizer® batteries.
•  Make sure the thermostat is set to the OFF position.
•  Use a coin to remove the battery door.

To remove batteries, press down on the left ends of the batteries. If you insert new batteries within 20 to 30 seconds of removing the old ones, the thermostat does not require reprogramming. However, if the display is blank, the batteries are dead or incorrectly installed and the thermostat requires reprogramming.

•  Install the fresh batteries, as shown, making sure positive and negative terminals are oriented correctly.
•  Replace the battery door

Troubleshooting

IF… THEN…

• The display will not come on.
  • Set the system switch to OFF; remove batteries and insert them backward for at least five seconds to reset the thermostat; replace the batteries correctly.
  • The display should come on.
  • Make sure the batteries are fresh and installed correctly.
• The temperature display will not go 
  • The temperature setting limit was reached. The lower than 45°F (7°C) or higher than the setting range is 45°F to 88°F (7°C to 31°C). 88°F (31°C) during programming.
• Temperature change occurs at the
  • Verify the program times for the period. Be sure that the wrong times. AM and PM indications are correct. Make sure the current day and time are correct. Reprogram, if necessary.
• The heating will not come on.
  • Check that the switch on the thermostat is set to HEAT.
  • Check the system fuse or circuit breaker and replace or reset it, if necessary.
  • If the display is blank or displays bAt Lo, install fresh batteries.
  • If the temperature setting is higher than the current temperature, and the thermostat displays HEAT, contact Honeywell Customer Assistance at 1-800-468-1502.
• Cooling will not come on.
  • Check that the switch on the thermostat is set to COOL.
  • Check the system fuse or circuit breaker and replace or reset it, if necessary.
  • If the display is blank or displays bAt Lo, install fresh batteries.
  • The thermostat has a built-in time delay on cooling.
  • Allow five to ten minutes after changing the setting before the air conditioner starts.
  • If the temperature setting is lower than the current temperature, and the thermostat displays COOL, move the system switch from COOL to OFF for ten minutes.
  • After ten minutes, return the switch to the COOL position. If the air conditioner comes on, the compressor could have reached its high-limit temperature protection and shut down. If the air conditioner does not come on after ten minutes and displays COOL, contact Honeywell Customer Assistance at 1-800-468-1502
• The house is too warm or too cool.
  • Press the Present Setting key to check the current temperature setting.
  • If desired, change the temperature setting. See page 5.
• THE SYSTEM ON indicator is lit, but no heat is coming from the registers
  • Allow time for the furnace to heat up and the fan to come on before checking for heat at the register
• The current thermostat setting does not match the display temperature.
  • Be aware that it is normal for the current setting and display temperature to differ occasionally
• bAt Lo remains on display after fresh batteries are installed.
  • Remove the batteries. Wait one hour. Install fresh alkaline batteries
