Do not install the thermostat where it can be affected by:
When Installing this Product…
Install the thermostat about 1.5m (5 ft) above the floor in an area with good air circulation at average temperature. See Fig. 1.
Do not install the thermostat where it can be affected by:
The thermostat can be mounted horizontally on the wall or on a 50.8 mm x 101.6 mm (2 in. x 4 in.) wiring box. Position wallplate horizontally on the wall or on a 50.8 mm x 101.6 mm (2 in. x 4 in.) wiring box.
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and ordinances. Refer to Fig. 3 through 6 for typical hookups. A letter code is located near each terminal for identification.
CAUTION Electrical Hazard.
Can cause electrical shock or equipment damage.
Disconnect power before wiring.
The thermostat keys are used to:
System and Fan Settings
The System default setting is Heat and the Fan default setting is Auto. Use the System and Fan keys to change the settings. See Fig. 10. The fan settings can be set for each program period individually. The system selection is for all the program periods.
System settings control the thermostat operation as follows:
Fan settings control the system fan as follows:
NOTE: Always press the keys with your fingertip or similar blunt tool. Sharp instruments like a pen or pencil point can damage the keyboard.
Refer to Table 2 for the default program settings. If the daytime energy savings period is not used, press the period key (Leave or Return) until the time is blank. The fan setting feature is available on select thermostat models. See Owner’s Guide, form 69-0940, for complete instructions on changing the program.
Table 2. Default Program Settings.
Period | Time | Heat Setpoint | Cool Setpoint | Fan Setting |
Wake | 6:45 AM | 20°C | 25°C | Auto |
Leave | 8:45 AM | 4.5°C | 37°C | Auto |
Return | 5:00 PM | 20°C | 25°C | Auto |
Sleep | 10:00 PM | 4.5°C | 37°C | Auto |
NOTE: For most applications, the thermostat factory settings do not require changing. Review the factory settings in Table 2 and, if no changes are necessary, go to Installer Self-Test section.
The Installer Setup is used to customize the thermostat to specific systems. Some of the options include temperature display, system changeover and outdoor temperature display. Installer Setup numbers are listed in Table 3. The table includes all the configuration options and the factory settings for the T8602.
A combination of key presses is required to use the Installer Setup feature.
CAUTION Electric Heat Configuration Hazard.
Can cause equipment damage.
Configure electric heat system to 1 in Installer Setup number 2 to prevent system running without fan.
IMPORTANT Only configured numbers are shown on the device. Example: If thermostat does not have a System key, Installer Setup Number 12 will not be displayed. Review Table 3 factory settings and mark any desired changes in the Actual Setting column. When Installer Setup is com-plete, review the settings to confirm that they match the system.

Outdoor Temperature Sensor
(Select Models)
Allow the outdoor temperature sensor to absorb the outdoor air for a minimum of five minutes before taking a reading.
Table 6. Troubleshooting Guide.
Symptom | Possible Cause | Action |
Display will not come on. | Thermostat is not being powered. | • Check if batteries are present and installed correctly. — If batteries are present and installed correctly, replace thermostat. |
Temperature display is incorrect. | Room temperature display has been reconfigured. | Enter Installer Setup number 37 and reconfigure the display. |
Thermostat is configured for °F or °C display. | Enter Installer Setup number 14 and reconfigure the display. | |
Bad thermostat location. | Relocate the thermostat. | |
Temperature settings will not change. (Example: Cannot set the heating higher or the cooling lower.) | The upper or lower temperature limits were reached. | Check the temperature setpoint: • Heating limits are 4.5 to 32°C • Cooling limits are 7 to 37°C |
The setpoint temperature range stops were configured. | Check Installer Setup numbers 34 and 35 and reconfigure the setpoint stops. | |
Heating will not come on. | No power to the thermostat. | • Check for 24 Vac between R and W terminals (check for 750 mV on PowerPile® Systems). — If missing 24 Vac: — check if the circuit breaker is tripped—reset the circuit breaker. — check if the system fuse is blown—replace the fuse. — check if the power switch on the HVAC equipment is in the Off position—set to the On position. — check wiring between thermostat and HVAC equipment—replace any broken wires and tighten any loose connections. — If 24 Vac is present, proceed with troubleshooting. |
Thermostat minimum off time is activated. | Wait up to five minutes for the system to respond. | |
System selection is not set to Heat. | Set system selection to Heat. | |
Heating setpoint is below room temperature. | Check heating setpoint. Set heating setpoint to desired temperature. | |
Cooling will not come on. | No power to the thermostat. | • Check for 24 Vac between R or RC and Y terminals — If missing 24 Vac: — check if the circuit breaker is tripped—reset the circuit breaker. — check if the system fuse is blown—replace the fuse. — check if the power switch on the HVAC equipment is in the Off position—set to the On position. — check wiring between thermostat and HVAC equipment—replace any broken wires and tighten any loose connections. — If 24 Vac is present, proceed with troubleshooting. |
Thermostat minimum off time is activated. | • Wait up to five minutes for the system to respond. • Enter Installer Setup number 33. Reconfigure minimum off time (if required). | |
System selection is not set to Cool. | Set system selection to Cool. | |
Cool setpoint is above room temperature. | Check cooling setpoint. Set cooling setpoint to desired temperature. | |
Heating or cooling come on momentarily and shut off. | Heat or cool circuit is opening up or becoming high impedance. | Add resistor in parallel with load or install interface relay. |
Symptom | Possible Cause | Action |
System on indicator (flame=heat, snowflake=cool) is displayed, but no warm or cool air is coming from the registers. | Fan operation set for 0 (con- ventional heat) when it should be set for 1 (electric heat). | Enter Installer Setup number 2 and reconfigure the fan operation. |
Conventional heating equipment turns on the fan when the furnace has warmed up to a setpoint. | Wait a minute after seeing the on indicator and then check the registers. | |
Heating or cooling equipment is not operating. | Verify operation of heating or cooling equipment in self-test. | |
Outdoor tempera- ture not displayeda | Option not activated. | Enter Installer Setup number 24 and set to 1. Thermostat must have OT terminals and a C7089B1000 Sensor installed. |
Outdoor temperature display is incorrecta | Outdoor sensor is connected incorrectly. | Refer to C7089B1000 Installation Instructions and check wiring between the thermostat and sensor. |
Wrong sensor. | Replace sensor with C7089B1000 Sensor. |
