Mounting The Subbase; Mounting The Thermostat - Honeywell Q674 Installation Instructions Manual

LOCATION
Install the thermostat about 5 ft [1.5 m] above the floor in
an area with good air circulation at average temperature.
Do not install the thermostat where it can be affected by:
—drafts, or dead spots behind doors and in corners.
—hot or cold air from ducts.
—radiant heat from sun or appliances.
—concealed pipes and chimneys.
—unheated (uncooled) areas such as an outside wall
behind the thermostat.

MOUNTING THE SUBBASE

The thermostat subbase can be mounted on a vertical
outlet box, horizontal outlet box or directly on the wall.
1. If you must mount the subbase on a vertical outlet box,
order 193121A Adapter Assembly (Fig. 1). The as-sembly
includes an adapter ring, two screws and a cover plate to cover
marks on the wall. Install the ring and cover plate on the
vertical outlet box.
For a wall installation, hold subbase in position and mark
holes for anchors (Fig. 2). Obtain wall anchors locally. Take
care that the wires do not fall back into the wall opening. Set
aside subbase. Drill four 3/16 in. [4.8 mm] holes and gently
tap anchors into the holes until flush with the wall.
2. Pull wires through the cover plate (if used) and subbase
cable opening (Fig. 3).
3. Secure the cover plate (if used) and subbase with the
screws provided. Do not fully tighten the subbase screws.
4. Level the subbase using a spirit level, as shown in Fig.
3, and firmly tighten the subbase mounting screws. The
subbase mounting holes provide for minor out-of-level ad-
justments.
IMPORTANT: An incorrectly leveled subbase will cause
the temperature control to deviate from set point.
WIRING THE SUBBASE
IMPORTANT: Use 18-gauge color-coded thermostat cable
for proper wiring.
Disconnect power supply before beginning installation to
prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances. Follow equipment manufacturer wiring instruc-
tions when available. To wire subbase, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the system wires to the subbase as shown in
Figs. 5-7. A letter code located near each terminal is for
identification. The terminal barrier permits straight or con-
ventional wraparound wiring connection (Fig. 4).
2. Firmly tighten each terminal screw.
3. Fit wires as close as possible to the subbase. Push
excess wire back into the hole.
4. Plug hole with nonflammable insulation to prevent
drafts from affecting the thermostat.

MOUNTING THE THERMOSTAT

1. Remove the thermostat cover by pulling the bottom
edge of the cover outward and away from the base until it
snaps free of the mounting slots.
NOTE: The cover is hinged at the top and must be re-moved
by pulling outward at the bottom.
