Honeywell T8400B Installation Instructions Manual

T8400B Thermostat provides single-stage, non-
programmable temperature control for 24V heat-only
applications. Heating cycle rate is selectable at 1, 3, 4,
5, 6, 9, or 12 cph. Temperature indication can be set for
°F or °C.
The T8400B Thermostat is powered through the heating
system controls.
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, 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 Thermo-
stat is powered directly from the system transformer.
Batteries are not required because setpoints are held
permanently by nonvolatile memory for all models.
All models include a thermostat, wallplate (for wiring
and mounting thermostat) and Owner's Guide. Two
decorator cover plates (for covering wall marks) are
included for select models.
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 regarding recycling and the
proper disposal of an old control.
