T841A Heating-Cooling  
Heat Pump Thermostat  
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
APPLICATION  
The T841A Heating-Cooling TRADELINE® Thermostat  
provides 24 Vac control of two-stage heating and one-  
stage cooling in heat pump systems, using manual  
changeover. This thermostat provides SYSTEM switch  
selections of EM. HEAT-HEAT-OFF-COOL and FAN  
switch selections of AUTO-ON. See Fig. 1. See Table 1 for  
T841A TRADELINE® specifications.  
Test holes are provided on the front of the thermostat to  
accommodate test meter probes without removing the  
thermostat from the wall. Remove the cover of the  
thermostat to expose the test holes, which are labeled to  
correspond with the terminals on the back of the  
thermostat.

T841A HEATING-COOLING HEAT PUMP THERMOSTAT  
OPERATION  
The stages of heat make sequentially as the temperature  
drops. Make refers to the mercury switch initiating a call for  
heat or cool.  
CAUTION  
1
.
.
Disconnect power supply to prevent electrical  
shock or equipment damage.  
2
To prevent interference with the thermostat  
linkage, keep wire length to a minimum and  
run wires as close as possible to the thermo-  
stat base.  
There is about 1°F (0.6°C) between stages so the second  
stage (auxiliary heat) makes only when the first stage  
cannot handle the load. This 1°F is the interstage differen-  
tial.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
Do not overtighten the thermostat captive  
mounting screws, because damage to the  
threads can result.  
Do not short across coil terminals on the relay.  
This can burn out the thermostat heat  
anticipator.  
Never install more than one wire per terminal  
unless a factory-supplied jumper with spade  
terminal is used.  
The LED indicators on certain thermostat models light up  
when something specific happens within the system.  
When the green or amber LED lights, the auxiliary heat  
(
second stage heat) is operating because the weather is  
so cold, the heat pump alone cannot handle the load.  
When the red EM. HEAT LED lights, the emergency heat  
is operating (usually electric strip heaters), because the  
homeowner has physically switched to the EM. HEAT  
position. See heating/cooling manufacturer instructions for  
specific meaning.  
Location  
Locate the thermostat about 5 ft (1.5m) above the floor in  
an area with good air circulation at average room tempera-  
ture.  
RECYCLING NOTICE  
This control contains mercury in a sealed tube. Do  
not place the 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.  
Do not mount 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, appliances or fireplaces.  
concealed pipes and chimneys.  
unheated (uncooled) areas such as an outside wall  
behind the thermostat.  
Contact your local waste management authority for  
instructions regarding recycling and the proper  
disposal of this control, or any control containing  
mercury in a sealed tube.  
This thermostat is a precision instrument and was carefully  
adjusted at the factory. Handle it carefully.  
Mounting and Wiring  
CAUTION  
Disconnect power supply before beginning  
installation. Can cause electrical shock or  
equipment damage.  
INSTALLATION  
The T841A can be mounted directly to a wall or  
horizontal outlet box. Choose the method that best fits  
your installation.  
When Installing this Product…  
1.  
Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow  
them could damage the product or cause a hazard-  
ous condition.  
In replacement applications, check the existing thermostat  
wires for cracked or frayed insulation. Replace wires in  
poor condition.  
2.  
Check the ratings given in the instructions and on  
the product to make sure the product is suitable for  
your application.  
All wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances.

.
.
Installer must be a trained, experienced technician.  
After installation is complete, check out product  
operation as provided in these instructions.

Grasp the thermostat cover at the top and bottom with one  
hand. Pull outward on the bottom edge of the cover until it  
snaps free of the thermostat base. Carefully remove and  
save the packing material surrounding the mercury  
switches.  
SETTINGS  
Heat Anticipator Setting  
The second stage heat anticipator is adjustable. Move the  
adjustable indicator to match the current draw of the  
second stage heating primary control, or the anticipator  
setting of the old thermostat. See Fig. 6.  
1
.
Run the 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 the wires  
through the hole in the packing material saved  
above. Connect the wires to the terminals on the  
back of the thermostat. See Fig. 2 through 5.  
Set the second stage adjustable heat anticipator to  
match the current draw of the primary heating  
control (see Heat Anticipator Setting section).  
Push the excess wire back through the hole and  
plug any opening with packing material to prevent  
drafts that may affect thermostat performance.  
Use screws to loosely secure the thermostat to the  
wall or outlet box through the two mounting holes in  
the middle of the device.  
Temperature Setting  
Move the setpoint lever to the desired control point on the  
temperature scale.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
SYSTEM Switch Setting  
The SYSTEM switch positions control the system opera-  
tion as follows:  
EM. HEAT: Emergency heat relay is energized. Cooling  
system is off. Compressor is de-energized. Fan runs  
on call for heat if FAN switch is in the AUTO  
position. EM. HEAT LED is on.  
HEAT: Heating system is automatically controlled by  
the thermostat. Cooling system is off.  
OFF: Both the heating and cooling systems are off. If  
the fan is at the AUTO position, the cooling fan is  
also off.  
COOL: Cooling system is automatically controlled by  
the thermostat. Heating system is off.  
The sheetmetal screws included with the thermostat are  
designed for use in plaster walls that do not need anchors.  
IMPORTANT  
An incorrectly leveled thermostat causes  
inaccurate temperature control.  
5
.
Level the thermostat using a spirit level or plumb  
line. Tighten the two mounting screws at the middle  
of the device.  
Install the two screws in the top mounting holes and  
tighten.  
FAN Switch Setting  
AUTO: Fan operates in response to thermostat in both  
heating and cooling.  
6
.
.
ON: Fan operates continuously.
