Honeywell T8401C1015 - Electronic Thermostat - 1 Heat/1Cool Installation Instructions Manual

The T8400C and T8401C Thermostats provide single-
stage, non-programmable temperature control for 24V
Heating-cooling systems with manual changeover from
heat to cool. Heating cycle rate is selectable at 1, 3, 4, 5,
6, 9, or 12 cph. Cooling cycle rate is fixed at 3 cph.
Temperature indication can be set for °F or °C.
The T8400C Thermostat is powered through the heating/
Cooling system controls. The T8401C requires a common
wire for operation. Batteries are not required because
setpoints are held permanently by non-volatile memory.
The T8400C and T8401C models include a thermostat,
wallplate (for wiring and mounting thermostat) and
owner's guide.

If this control 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 an old control containing
mercury in a sealed tube.
