INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN
APPLICATION
Thesethermostats and subbases provide 24to 30Vat control fortwo-stage heating and one-stage cooling heat pump
systems as follows:
MODEL I CHANGEOVER 1 SYSTEM SWITCHING 1 FAN SWITCHING
Y594G (T874GIQ674F) Automatic (Heat or Cool) OFF-EM.HT.-HEAT- AUTO-ON

T874RlQ674L Manual 1 EM.HT.-HEAT-OFF-COOL 1 AUTO-ON
OPERATION
On a two-heat thermostat, the two stages of heat
“make” sequentially as the temperature drops. “Make”
refers to the mercury switch initiating a call for heat or
COOL
There is about 2 F[1.I C] between stages so that the
second stage (auxiliary heat) makes only when the first
stage can’t handle the load. This is the interstage
differential.
Three LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are included on the
subbase. The red CHECK LED lights when something
needs to be checked or done to maintain efficient
operation of the system. See your heating system
instructions to find out specifically what the CHECK LED
signifies. The green LED lights when the AUX. HT. stage
(second stage) heat is operating. The red EM.HT. LED
lights when the EM.HT. relay is energized, usually
operating electric strip heaters.
INSTALLATION
WHEN INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT. ..
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
them could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition.
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.
4. After installation is complete, check out product
operation as provided in these instructions.
1. Disconnect power supply to prevent electrical
shock or equipment damage.
2. Run wires as close to the subbase as possible.
To prevent interference with the thermostat
linkage, keep wire length to a minimum. Push
excess wire back into the hole, and plug hole to
prevent drafts from affecting thermostat
operation.
3. Do not overtighten thermostat captive mounting
screws as damage to subbase threads may
result.
4. Do not short across coil terminals on relay. This
may burn out the heat anticipator.
LOCATION
Install thethermostatabout5ft]l.5 m]abovethefloor in
an area with good circulation at average temperature.
Do not install the thermostat where it may be
affected by-
-drafts, or dead spots behind doors and in
corners.
-hot or cold air from ducts.
-radiant heat from sun or appliances.
-concealed pipes and chimneys.
-unheated (uncooled) areas behind the ther-
mostat, such as an outside wall.
MOUNTING THE SUBBASE
The thermostat subbase can be mounted on avertical
outlet box, horizontal outlet box, or directly on the wall.
1. Ifyou must mount the subbase on a vertical outlet ,
box, order 19312lA Adapter Assembly (Fig. 1). The
assembly includes an adapter ring, two screws, and a
cover plate to cover marks on the wall. Install the ring and
cover plate on the vertical outlet box
Fig. l-Installation ofsubbase on outlet box.

For a wall installation, hold subbase in position and
mark holes for anchors (Fig. 2).Wall anchors must be
obtained from local hardware store. Take care that the
wires do not fall back into the wall opening. Set subbase
aside. Drill four 3116 in. [4.8 mm] holes and gently tap
anchors into the holes until flush with the wall.

WIRING THE SUBBASE
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances. Follow equipment manufacturer’s wiring
instructions when available. To wire subbase, proceed as
follows:
1. Connect system wires to the subbase as shown in
Fig.4orSAlettercode isneareach terminal for identifica-
tion. The terminal barrier permits straight or conventional
wraparound wiring connection (Fig. 6).

2. Firmly tighten each terminal screw.
3. Fit wires as close to the subbase as possible. Push
excess wire back into hole.
4. Plug hole with nonflammable insulation to prevent
drafts from affecting the thermostat.
Fig. 6-Wiring conneciions.
MOUNTING THE THERMOSTAT
1. Remove the thermostat cover by pulling the bottom
edge of the cover upward until it snaps free of the
retaining posts.
NOTE: The covar is hinged at the top and must be
removed by pulling up at the bonom.
2. Carefully remove and discard the polystyrene
packing insert which protects the mercury switches
during shipment.
3. Turn the thermostat base over and note the spring
fingers which engage the subbase contacts. Make sure
the spring fingers are NOT bent flat, preventing proper
electrical contact with the subbase.
4. Note the tabs along the top inside edge of the
thermostat base. The tabs fit into corresponding slots on
top ofthe subbase. Mount the thermostat onthe subbase.
5. Align the two captive mounting screws in the
thermostat base with the oosts on the subbase fFia. 7).
Tighten both screws. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS
or damage to subbase posts may result.

CHECKOUT
HEATING
Move the system switch on the subbase to HEAT and
the fan switch to AUTO. Move the heating set point lever
on the thermostat about 10F[56 C]above room temper-
ature. Heating should start, providing there is no time
delay or outdoortemperature limiting system, and the fan
should run after ashort delay. Move the heating set point
lever about 10 F [56 C] below room temperature. The
heating equipmentshould shutoff, and thefan should run
for a short time, then shut off.
Move the system switch on the subbase to COOL.
Move the cooling set point lever on the thermostat about
10 F [56 C] below room temperature. The cooling
equipment and fan should start. Move the cooling set
point lever about 10 F [5.6 C] above room temperature.
The cooling equipment and fan should stop.
NOTE: On the T874R, the same lever controls both
heating and cooling.

THERMOSTAT
These thermostats are accurately calibrated at the
factory. THEY DO NOT HAVE PROVISION FOR FIELD
CALIBRATION.
THERMOMETER
The thermometer in your thermostat has been ac-
curately calibrated at the factory. The thermometer
should only need adjustment if it has been dropped or
shifted due to mishandling.
Ifset point lever and the thermometer reading do not
agree, follow the procedure below.
1. Remove thermostat cover by pulling up from the
bottom of cover until it clears the retaining posts.
2. Set the cover on a table near an accurate ther-
mometer.
3. After allowing 5 or IO minutes for stabilization,
comparethereadings.lftheyarethe same, replacecover
and put system into operation. If they are different,
recalibrate the thermostat thermometer, step 4.
4. Insert a small screwdriver inthe thermometer shaft
(Fig. 8)and turn ituntil the thermometers read the same.
When the thermometer is calibrated, replace cover and
place system into operation.
NOTE: Hand heat will offset the thermometer reading.
Aftermaking each adjustment, wait5 or 10minutes for
the thermometer to stabilize before comparing. Fig. E-Thermometer calibration.
