Installation Instructions for the Trained Service Technician.  
NOTE: Order Q682B Subbase separately.  
Preparation  
Check thermostat and subbase (if used) suitability for the  
heating, cooling, or heating/cooling system. Refer to Table 1.  
Assemble tools required: flat bladed screwdriver, hand or  
power drill with 3/16-in. drill bit, wire cutter/stripper or  
sharp knife, bubble level or plumb bob and line.  
Assure power is off to the heating, cooling, or heating/  
cooling system at the main fuse panel. Most buildings have  
a separate switch box or circuit breaker for disconnecting  
power to the heating and cooling (if applicable) equipment.  
This thermostat is compatible with most heating, cooling  
or heating/cooling systems. Refer to Table 1 for thermostat  
and system compatibility information.  
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 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 in-  
structions regarding recycling and the proper disposal of this  
control, or of an old control containing mercury in a sealed  
tube.

If thermostat is not compatible with the system being controlled, the system will not operate. No hazard exists. The thermo-  
stat will not be damaged unless it is used to directly control a line voltage system. For proper system operation, a Honeywell  
R841 or R8239D1015 Isolating Relay must be added to the thermostat control circuit.  
Consult manufacturer for installation requirements.

SET TEMPERATURE CONTROL LEVERS  
The two levers on top of the thermostat control the low  
and high temperatures for energy savings and comfort con-  
trol (Fig. 12). The lever on the left (blue mark) controls the  
lower temperature. The lever on the right (red mark) controls  
the higher temperature.  
Operate the entire heating system at least one complete  
cycle.  
If thermostat fails any test, refer to the Troubleshooting  
Guide in the Owner’s Manual.  
Reset both the temperature setting levers to the desired  
temperatures.  
We recommend pushing the levers together at an appro-  
priate temperature for either heat or cool until the occupant  
programs the thermostat and makes the final temperature  
selections.  
COOLING-ONLY SYSTEM (T8095A ONLY)  
Turn on power to the cooling equipment.  
Push both temperature setting levers together at least 5° F  
[
3° C] below the room temperature. The cooling equipment  
will operate, and the fan will start. Allow for any time delay  
that may be built into the compressor control circuit.

SET SUBBASE SWITCHES (IF APPLICABLE)  
The subbase system switch controls system operation as  
follows:  
HEAT: Heating system is controlled by the thermostat.  
Cooling system is off.  
HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM  
Turn on power to the furnace and cooling system.  
Place the system switch lever to HEAT and fan switch  
lever to AUTO.  
COOL: Cooling system is controlled by the thermostat.  
Heating system is off.  
OFF: Both the heating and cooling systems are off. If the  
fan switch is in the AUTO position, the fan is also off.  
The subbase fan switch controls fan operation as follows:  
ON: Fan operates continuously.  
AUTO: Fan operates with the cooling equipment as con-  
trolled by the thermostat or with the heating equip-  
ment as controlled by the plenum switch. In electric  
heat, heat pump and fan coil systems, the fan is con-  
trolled by the thermostat in heating and cooling.  
To switch positions, use thumb or index finger to slide  
lever to the desired position. For proper circuit operation,  
switch lever must stop in detent over the desired function  
indicator mark.  
Push both temperature setting levers together at least 5° F  
[3° C] above room temperature. The main burner should  
come on. The fan will start when the furnace heats up. (If  
central electric heat, fan coil or heat pump system, fan starts  
immediately.)

setting levers to various positions. The heating and cooling  
systems should not operate.  
Operate the entire system for at least one complete cycle  
with the system switch at COOL and one complete cycle  
with the switch at HEAT.  
If thermostat fails any test, refer to the Troubleshooting  
Guide in the Owner’s Manual.  
Reset both the temperature setting levers to the desired  
temperatures.  
Leave Owner’s Manual and Assistance Information in a  
convenient place for the building occupant or provide with  
other appliance manuals.  
CAUTION  
Do not check operation by shorting across termi-  
nals of system controls. This will damage the heat  
anticipator.

To check thermostat calibration, allow several hours of  
operation after installation. Then read thermometer and re-  
move cover. Push temperature levers together to a setting  
below room temperature. Slowly move them up the scale  
together until the mercury slides across the tube. If the  
thermometer reading and the high temperature lever posi-  
tion are approximately the same at the instant the mercury  
moves to the other end, no recalibration is needed.  
Calibration  
NOTE: Select models can be calibrated.  
THERMOMETER  
The thermometer in your thermostat was accurately cali-  
brated at the factory. The thermometer should need adjust-  
ment only if it has been dropped or shifted due to mishandling.  
If the setpoint lever and the thermometer reading do not  
agree:  
. Remove the thermostat cover by pulling up from the  
bottom of cover until it clears the mounting slots.  
. Set the thermostat cover on a table near an accurate  
thermometer.  
If calibration is necessary, proceed as follows:

Typical Wiring Diagrams  
The clock for the T8095 and TS8095 must be powered by  
a 24V transformer for the T8095. A separate transformer  
may be connected (Fig. 15), or the system transformer may  
be connected (Fig. 16).

THERMOSTAT  
This thermostat was calibrated at the factory and should  
not need recalibration in the field. If recalibration seems  
necessary, first be sure wallplate or subbase is accurately  
leveled. Then check thermometer calibration.
