T8000C
Programmable Thermostat
APPLICATION
The T8000C Thermostat provides single-stage, program-
mable temperature control for 24 Vac heating-cooling
systems with manual changeover from heat to cool.
Heating cycle rate is selectable at 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, or 12
cph. Cooling cycle rate is fixed at 3 cph. Temperature
indication can be set for °F or °C.
The T8000C Thermostat is powered through the heating/
cooling system controls. Batteries are not required
because setpoints are held permanently by non-volatile
memory.
The T8000C TRADELINE® model includes a thermostat,
wallplate and Owner’s Guide. A 7 3/8 in. (188 mm) x 5 3/4
in. (146 mm) decorator cover plate (for covering wall
marks) is available separately. Order Honeywell part no.
209649A (taupe) or part no. 209649B (white).
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. Dispose of it properly.
Contact your local waste management authority for
instructions regarding recycling and the proper
disposal of a control.
INSTALLATION
When Installing this Product…
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
them could damage the product or cause a hazard-
ous 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.
CAUTION
Hazardous Voltage.
Can damage heating/cooling system.
Disconnect power at furnace or main breaker/fuse
box.
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:
—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

Mounting Wallplate to Wall
IMPORTANT
Level only for appearance. The thermostat
functions normally even when not level.
Mount wallplate and the T8000C 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 wallplate
entrance hole.
3. Fasten the wallplate to the wall using the anchors
and screws provided.
4. After wiring the wallplate, plug the hole with non-
flammable insulation to prevent drafts from affecting
the thermostat; see Wiring section.

Wiring
IMPORTANT
Use an 18-gauge maximum wire for wiring the
T8000C Thermostat.
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances. Disconnect the power supply to prevent
electrical shock or equipment damage.
The shape of the terminals permits insertion of straight or
wraparound wiring connections; either method is accept-
able. A letter code is located near each terminal for
identification. See Fig. 3.
NOTE: To ensure proper mounting of thermostat, restrict
all wiring to the shaded area in the center of the
terminals. See Fig. 4.

The T8000C Thermostat is powered through the heating/
cooling system controls and is adaptable to most 18 to 30
Vac heating-cooling systems. Refer to Fig. 5 and 6 for
typical wiring hookups.

system with two transformers.
Setting Fan Operation (Fuel) Switch
The fan operation (fuel) switch is preset at the factory in
the F position. See Fig. 7. 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. 9.
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 (most systems). When
the fan operation (fuel) switch is in the E position,
the fan starts and stops with the heating equipment.
Slide the FAN switch in the lower left corner of the
thermostat to select the desired fan setting.
SYSTEM Switch
System switch settings control thermostat operation as
follows:
Cool: The thermostat controls the cooling system.
Off: Both heating and cooling are off.
Heat: The thermostat controls the heating system.
Slide the SYSTEM switch in the lower right corner of the
thermostat to select the desired system setting.

Setting Time and Temperature
The T8000C is preprogrammed with the time and tem-
perature settings shown in Table 3. For instructions on
programming the thermostat refer to the Owner’s Guide,
form no. 69-1143.
Table 3. Preprogrammed Time
and Temperature Settings.
CHECKOUT
Heating
1. Slide the SYSTEM switch to Heat and the FAN
switch to Auto.
2. Press and hold the ▲key to raise the temperature
setting several degrees above the room tempera-
ture; the heating equipment should start. In conven-
tional systems, the system turns on the fan through
the use of a time delay relay or through a limit
control. When the fan operation (fuel) switch is in the
E position, the fan starts immediately.
3. Press the ▼key to lower the temperature setting
below the room temperature. Heating equipment
should stop.
Cooling
CAUTION
Damage To Compressor Possible.
Operating at too low of an outdoor temperature
may cause compressor damage.
Do not operate cooling if outdoor temperature is
below 50°F (10°C).
Allow compressor to remain off for five minutes
before restarting.
Refer to manufacturer’s recommendations.
1. Slide the SYSTEM switch to Cool and the FAN
switch to Auto.
2. Press the ▼key to lower the temperature setting
several degrees below the room temperature; the
cooling equipment should start. The fan starts and
stops with the cooling equipment.
NOTE: If the cooling system does not start
immediately, remember that the thermostat
has a built-in minimum off-time of five
minutes to protect the compressor.
3. Press the ▲key to raise the temperature setting
above the room temperature. Cooling system should
shut down.
Fan
1. Slide the SYSTEM switch to Off and the FAN switch
to On. The fan should run continuously.
2. Slide the FAN switch to Auto. In heating, the fan is
controlled directly by the heating equipment and
may start a few minutes after the heating equipment
turns on (most systems). When the fan operation
(fuel) switch is in the E position, the fan starts and
stops with the heating equipment. In cooling, the fan
starts and stops with the cooling equipment.
Make certain all equipment responds correctly to the
thermostat.
