INSTALLATION  
Location  
Install the thermostat about 5 ft (1.5m) above the floor in an  
area with good air circulation at average temperature. See  
Fig. 2. Do not install the thermostat where it can be affected by:  
When Installing this Product…  
1
. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them  
could damage the product or cause a hazardous  
condition.  
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.  
2
. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the  
product to make sure the product is suitable for your  
application.  
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service  
technician.

. After installation is complete, check out product  
operation as provided in these instructions.  
IMPORTANT  
CAUTION  
Position and level the wallplate for appearance only.  
The thermostat functions properly even when not  
level.  
Damage To Heating/Cooling System Possible.  
Be careful when handling wires during installation.  
Disconnect power at furnace or at main breaker/fuse  
box before starting installation.  
Mount decorator cover plate (if desired), wallplate, T8700 and  
the screws as follows; see Fig. 3:  
1
. Place the decorator cover plate and the wallplate on the  
desired wall location.  
RECYCLING NOTICE  
If this control is replacing a control that contains  
mercury in a sealed tube, do not place your old  
control in the trash.  
2
. Pull the thermostat wire through the entrance hole on  
the decorator cover plate, then through the wallplate  
entrance hole.  
3

5
. Plug the wiring hole behind the thermostat to prevent  
drafts from affecting the thermostat.  
. Select the two mounting holes that best fit the  
application.  
. Fasten the decorator cover plate and the wallplate to  
the wall using the provided anchors (if necessary) and  
screws.  
Contact your local waste management authority for  
instructions regarding recycling and the proper  
disposal of an old control containing mercury in a  
sealed tube.

All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and  
ordinances. A letter is located near each terminal for  
identification.

Fan Control  
OPERATION  
The FAN switch settings for the T8700B1015 with Fan and  
T8700C are ON and AUTO.  
Zero Droop Performance  
ON: The fan runs continuously.  
The T8700 Thermostat can control temperature closer to  
setpoint than electromechanical thermostats. This is because  
proportional plus integral control (P + I) maintains a constant  
indoor temperature independent of the outdoor temperature.  
This feature allows the T8700 Thermostat to provide tight  
temperature control with virtually no noticeable swings in  
temperature, a condition referred to as droop. This zero droop  
performance provides improved comfort and occupants do not  
need to continually adjust thermostat settings to be  
AUTO: In cooling, the fan starts and stops with the cooling  
equipment. In heating, the fan starts a few minutes after  
the heating equipment turns on. With the Fuel switch in  
the E position for electric heat, the fan starts and stops  
with the heating equipment.  
Heat Mode  
With the T8700 system switch in the HEAT position, the  
thermostat controls the heating system. On a call for heat, the  
W terminal is energized and a flame icon  
digital display.  
comfortable, even during extreme weather.  
shows on the  
Power Stealing  
If the Fuel switch is in the E position, both the W and G  
terminals are energized on a call for heat.  
The T8700 Thermostat steals power through the heating and/or  
cooling system controls; therefore, it can be used in applications  
where it is not possible to run additional wires. See Fig. 15.  
Cool Mode  
The T8700 Thermostat requires only 2.5 mA of load current  
when the heating and/or cooling is on. When the heating and/or  
cooling is off, the thermostat operates at 0.1 mA. This low  
current draw allows the T8700C to be used with most 24V  
heating and/or cooling systems.  
With the T8700C System switch in the Cool position, the  
thermostat controls the cooling system. On a call for cool,  
the G and Y terminals are energized and a snowflake icon  
shows on the digital display. A flashing snowflake indicates  
that the minimum-off timer is in effect.  
The T8700 Thermostat operates only when mounted on the  
wallplate with 24V applied. Batteries are not required for  
operation. Temperature setpoints, programming and  
configuration settings are retained permanently in memory.  
Minimum Off-Timer T8700C  
A minimum off-timer for the T8700C assures that the cooling  
compressor does not come on again for at least five minutes  
after it turns off. The minimum-off timer is triggered when the  
compressor turns off or when the System switch is changed.  
If the compressor turns off when the setpoint is changed, the  
minimum-off timer is triggered. Power interruption and power  
restoration also trigger the minimum off-timer.  
Sequence of Operations  
The Heat and Cool outputs are transistor controlled. A loss of ac  
power or a change in the System switch setting can turn off  
outputs. Table 5 shows the Fan and System sequence of  
operations.

IMPORTANT  
CHECKOUT  
A mimimum off-timer for the T8700C assures that the  
cooling compressor does not come on again for at  
least five minutes after it turns off. The minimum-off  
timer is triggered when the compressor turns off or  
when the System switch is changed. If the compressor  
turns off when the setpoint is changed, the minimum-  
off timer is triggered. Power interruption and power  
restoration also trigger the minimum off-timer.  
Heating (T8700B,C)  
1
. Slide the System switch to HEAT and the Fan switch to  
AUTO. (For T8700B1007 Heat Only model, a Fan switch  
is not an option).  
2
. Press and hold the  
key to raise the temperature  
setting several degrees above the room temperature  
the heating equipment should start. In conventional  
systems, the system turns on the fan through a limit  
control. When using the thermostat with the fuel switch  
set to the E position for electric heat, the fan starts  
immediately.  
1
. Slide the System switch to COOL and the Fan switch to  
AUTO.  
2
. To start the cooling equipment, press the  
key to  
lower the temperature setting several degrees below  
room temperature. The fan starts and stops with the  
cooling equipment.

CAUTION  
Operating at too low of an outdoor temperature  
1
. Slide the System switch to OFF and the Fan switch to  
ON. The Fan should run continuously.  
Equipment Damage Possible.  
2
. Slide the Fan switch to AUTO. In heating, the fan is  
controlled directly by the heating equipment and starts  
a few minutes after the heating equipment turns on (for  
most systems). When using the thermostat with the  
Fuel switch set to the E position for electric heat, the fan  
starts and stops with the heating equipment. In cooling,  
the fan starts and stops with the cooling equipment.  
can cause compressor damage.  
Do not attempt to operate cooling when outdoor  
temperature is below 50°F (10°C). Refer to  
manufacturer recommendations.  
Make certain all equipment responds properly to the  
thermostat.
