Electronic Thermostats

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The T8400 and T8401 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

CAUTION

Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage

Hazard.

2 cph. Cooling cycle rate is fixed at 3 cph. Temperature

indication can be set for °F or °C.

Can shock individuals or short equipment

circuitry.

Disconnect power supply before installation.

The T8400 Thermostat is powered through the heating/

cooling system controls. The T8401 requires a common

wire for operation. Batteries are not required because

setpoints are held permanently by non-volatile memory.

Location

Install the thermostat about 5 ft (1.5m) above the floor in

an area with good air circulation at average temperature.

See Fig. 1. Do not install the thermostat where it can be

affected by:

The T8400 and T8401 models include a thermostat,

wallplate (for wiring and mounting thermostat) and

owner’s guide.

—

drafts or dead spots behind doors and in corners.

hot or cold air from ducts.

radiant heat from the sun or appliances.

concealed pipes and chimneys.

unheated (uncooled) areas such as an outside wall

behind the thermostat.

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.

This thermostat is a precision instrument and was

carefully adjusted at the factory. Handle it carefully.

Contact your local waste management authority

for instructions regarding recycling and the

proper disposal of an old control containing

mercury in a sealed tube.

Mounting Wallplate to Wall

IMPORTANT

Level only for appearance. The thermostat func-

tions normally even when not level.

INSTALLATION

Mount the T8400 and T8401 with the screws provided

(

see Fig. 2) as follows:

1. Place the wallplate at the desired location on the

wall.

2. Pull the thermostat wire through the entrance hole

on the wallplate.

3. Fasten the wallplate to the wall using the anchors

and screws provided.

4. After wiring the wallplate, plug the hole to prevent

drafts from affecting the thermostat; see Wiring

section.

them could damage the product or cause a hazard-

ous condition.

Check the ratings given in the instructions and on

the product to make sure the product is suitable for

your application.

IMPORTANT

Use an 18-gauge maximum wire to wire the

T8400 and T8401 Thermostats.

All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and

ordinances. Disconnect the power supply to prevent

electrical shock or equipment damage.

NOTE: To ensure proper mounting of thermostat,

restrict all wiring to the shaded area. See Fig. 4.

The shape of the terminals permits insertion of straight or

wraparound wiring connections; either method is

acceptable. See Fig. 5.

Setting Fan Operation (Fuel) Switch

The fan operation (fuel) switch is preset at the factory in

the F position. See Fig. 3. This is the correct setting for

most systems. If this system is an electric heat system,

set the switch to the E position. The E setting allows the

fan to turn on immediately with the heating or cooling

equipment in a system where the G terminal is

connected.

OPERATION

Setting FAN and SYSTEM Switches

Fan and system settings are controlled manually by

using the switches located at the bottom of the

thermostat case. See Fig. 12.

FAN Switch

Fan switch settings are:

On: The fan runs continuously. Use for improved air

circulation and air quality.

Auto: Normal setting for most homes. In cooling, the

fan starts and stops with the cooling equipment. In

heating, the fan is controlled directly by the heating

equipment and may start a few minutes after the

heating equipment turns on (on most systems).

When using an electric heat thermostat, the fan

starts and stops with the heating equipment.

Slide the FAN switch in the bottom left corner of the

thermostat to select the desired fan setting.
