Your Honeywell Thermostat  
Your new Honeywell CT70A Heat Pump Thermostat  
provides low voltage (24 Vac) control of two-stage heating  
and one-stage cooling in heat pump systems, using  
manual changeover. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) provide  
emergency heat and auxiliary heat indication.  
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  
this control, or of an old control containing mercury in a  
sealed tube.  
Recycling Notice  
This control contains mercury in a sealed tube. Do not  
place control in the trash at the end of its useful life.  
If you have questions, call Honeywell Inc. at  
1-800-468-1502.

PREPARATION  
Your Honeywell thermostat should be properly  
installed if you follow these instructions step-by-step.  
Make certain that your home’s heat pump system is  
working, especially if it has been inoperative for a  
length of time. If the system does not work, contact your  
local heating dealer for assistance.  
It is recommended that as you read, understand and  
complete each step, you check ✔ it off with pencil or pen.  
Check thermostat suitability for your home’s system  
by reviewing the ratings listed on the front of these  
instructions and reviewing the CT70 Heat Pump Thermo-  
stat Wiring Guide enclosed.  
Carefully unpack your new thermostat. Save  
packages of screws, instructions, receipt and proof-  
of-purchase.

reference in setting the anticipator on your new thermostat.  
The heat anticipator pointer, if adjustable, will be set at one  
of a series of numbers representing the current rating for  
the primary control of your heat pump. 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 for now; go on to the next step.  
Remove cover of old thermostat—cover normally  
snaps off when pulled firmly from the bottom. If it  
resists, check for a screw that locks the cover.  
Loosen screws holding thermostat base to wall and  
lift away.  
Before removing the old thermostat from the wall,  
look at it carefully to locate the heat anticipator  
adjustment mechanism. (See illustration to help you  
recognize the heat anticipator.)  
Disconnect wires from old thermostat. As you  
disconnect each wire, tape the end and label it with  
the enclosed wiring labels to make reconnection to new  
thermostat easier.

Run wiring (if necessary) to the location. If the  
wiring is plastered into the wall, make a hole next to  
the cable and loosen the wires so that they can be pushed  
back into the wall later. Thread wires through the hole in  
packing material saved above. Connect the wires to the  
terminals on the back of the thermostat according to the  
labels you placed on the wires or as shown in the wiring  
diagram.

Grasp the thermostat cover at the top and bottom  
with one hand. Pull outward on bottom edge of the  
cover until it snaps free of the thermostat base. Carefully  
remove and save the packing material surrounding the  
mercury switches.

Push the excess wire back through the hole and  
plug any opening with packing material to prevent  
drafts that may affect thermostat performance.  
Exactly level the thermostat using a spirit level or  
plumb line. An incorrectly leveled thermostat will  
cause inaccurate temperature control. Tighten the two  
mounting screws at the middle of the device. Install two  
screws in top mounting holes and tighten.  
Loosely secure the thermostat to the wall or outlet  
box with screws through the two mounting holes at  
the middle of the device. The sheetmetal screws included  
with the thermostat are designed for use in plaster walls  
that do not need anchors.  
Replace the thermostat cover.

NOTE: To prevent compressor short cycling, a minimum-  
off timer may be included to prevent the compressor  
from starting for up to five minutes from when the  
thermostat last turned off the compressor, or from when  
the system first received power.

SETTING THERMOSTAT  
Move the set point lever to the desired control point  
on the temperature scale.  
HEAT: Heat pump equipment is providing warm air to the  
living space.  
OFF: All heating/cooling equipment is de-energized.  
COOL: Heat pump equipment is providing cool air to the  
living space.  
Move the system switch and fan switch to the  
desired operating positions.  
The system switching positions control the system  
operation as follows:
