Mount the Thermostat
■ ■
Align the thermostat over the wallplate or subbase and tighten the
three captive mounting screws (shown in illustration under step 4). These
captive mounting screws complete the electrical connections to the
thermostat.

Set Heat Anticipator Lever
(applicable to CT86A or CT87B only)
■ ■
Make sure you have the current draw (anticipator setting) for your
system. This is the number you wrote in the box in step 3. If you were
unable to find the current draw for step 3, this information can be found
printed on the primary control at the furnace or boiler. The primary control
is usually a gas valve, a relay or burner control box, Aquastat
controller, or zone valve with the thermostat wires connected to it.
These controls are usually located behind the furnace cover. See illustration
at right.

Preparation
Proper installation of your Honeywell thermostat is easy if you follow
these instructions, STEP-BY-STEP. It is recommended that as you read,
understand and complete each step, you check it off.
■ ■
Assemble tools required:
Flat blade screwdriver
Wire cutter/stripper or sharp knife
Hand or power drill with 3/16 inch drill bit
Spirit level or plumb bob and line
■ ■
Make certain that your burner and/or cooling system are working, especially
if they have been inoperative for any length of time. If either one does not work,
contact your local heating/air conditioning dealer. On cooling systems, do not
operate cooling if outdoor temperature is below 50° F [10° C].
■ ■
Turn off power to the system at the main fuse panel. Most buildings have a
separate switch box or circuit breaker for disconnecting power to the furnace.
MERCURY NOTICE
If this control is replacing a control that contains mercury in a sealed tube,
do not place your old control in the trash. Dispose of properly.
Contact your local waste management authority for instructions regard-
ing recycling and the proper disposal of an old control.

■ ■
Tighten the screws after using spirit level or plumb line to accurately level the
wallplate or subbase. It must be level to maintain accurate calibration.

Unpack Your Thermostat
Handle your new thermostat carefully; rough handling can interfere with
its accuracy.
■ ■
Remove and discard shipping wrap. Save screws and instructions.
■ ■
Remove thermostat cover; set aside until called for later.
Remove material protecting mercury switch bulb.
3
Remove Old Thermostat
■ ■
Remove cover of old thermostat. If it re-
sists, check for a screw that locks on the cover.
■ ■
If installing a CT86A or CT87B, before re-
moving the old thermostat from the wall, look at
it carefully to locate the heat anticipator adjust-
ment mechanism.
(See illustration to help you recognize the heat anticipa-
tor.) Make a note here ______________ of
pator setting for future reference.
The heat anticipator pointer, if adjustable, will be set at one of a series of
numbers representing the current rating of the primary control in your furnace.

Move the heat anticipator lever to match the

number from step 3 or printed on primary con-
trol, as shown right. If no current draw informa-
tion can be found, leave the anticipator setting
at 4, the factory setting.
■ ■
Attach thermostat cover.
The number will be one of the following: .2, .4, .8 etc., or 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, etc.
If no heat anticipator/indication is showing, do not be concerned; move on to the
next step.
■ ■
Loosen screws holding thermostat base to subbase or wall and lift away.
■ ■
Disconnect wires from old thermostat or subbase or wallplate. Wrap the wires
around a pencil or other object, as shown, to prevent them from falling back into
the wall opening.
For heating/cooling system: As you disconnect each
wire, tape the end and label with the letter of the terminal
BULB
designation to make reconnection to new subbase or
SWITCH
wallplate easier.
For heating only system: Normally there are only two
ANTICIPATOR wires connected to the old wallplate. They can be con-
SCALE
nected to the new wallplate W and R terminals. No wire
labelling is necessary.

NOTE: Your thermostat should be located about 5 ft. [1.5 m] above the floor in an area
with good air circulation and average temperature. It should not be on an outside
wall.

FOR SUBBASE (CT87B heating/cooling systems)
■ ■
Refer to illustration above and strip thermostat wire insulation as necessary.
■ ■
Connect the wires to matching terminals on the subbase. If your old thermostat
had an R terminal, and your new one has R and RH or RH and RC terminals,
connect the old wire R to terminal RH, and add a jumper to connect RC or R to RH.
The drawing below shows how to jumper RC or R to RH. Strip the insulation off the
wire where it connects to the terminals. Firmly tighten screws.
