APPLICATION
The T841A Heating-Cooling SUPER 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. The
adjustable second stage heat anticipator allows replace-
ment of most T841A models. See Table 1 for T841A
SUPER 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 thermo-
stat.

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.
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
.
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.
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.
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.
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 technician.
4. After installation is complete, check out product
operation as provided in these instructions.
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 subbase.
3. Do not overtighten the thermostat captive
mounting screws, because damage to the
subbase threads can result.
4. Do not short across coil terminals on the relay.
This can burn out the thermostat heat
anticipator.
5. Never install more than one wire per terminal
unless a factory-supplied jumper with spade
terminal is used.
Location
Locate the thermostat about 5 ft (1.5m) above the floor in
an area with good air circulation at average room tempera-
ture.
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.
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.
The T841A can be mounted directly to a wall or horizontal
outlet box. Choose the method that best fits your installa-
tion.
In replacement applications, check the existing thermostat
wires for cracked or frayed insulation. Replace wires in
poor condition.
All wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances.

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.
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.
2. Set the second stage adjustable heat anticipator to
match the current draw of the primary heating
control (see Heat Anticipator Setting section).
3. Push the excess wire back through the hole and
plug any opening with packing material to prevent
drafts that may affect thermostat performance.
4. Use screws to loosely secure the thermostat to the
wall or outlet box through the two mounting holes in
the middle of the device.
The sheetmetal screws included with the thermostat are
designed for use in plaster walls that do not need anchors.
IMPORTANT
An incorrectly leveled subbase 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.
6. Install the two screws in the top mounting holes and
tighten.
7. Replace the thermostat cover.
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. 3.
Temperature Setting
Move the setpoint lever to the desired control point on the
temperature scale.
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 deenergized. 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.
FAN Switch Setting
AUTO: Fan operates in response to thermostat in both
heating and cooling.
ON: Fan operates continuously.

CHECKOUT
Heating
Move the SYSTEM switch on the thermostat to HEAT and
the FAN switch to AUTO. Move the setpoint lever to about
10°F (6°C) above the room temperature. Heating should
start and the fan should run. Move the setpoint lever about
10°F (6°C) below the room temperature. Heating and fan
should shut off.

NOTE: To prevent compressor short cycling, a minimum-
off timer may be included to prevent the com-
pressor from starting for up to five minutes from
when the thermostat last turned the compressor
off, or from when the system first received power.
Cooling
CAUTION
Do not operate cooling if outdoor temperature is
below 50°F (10°C). Refer to manufacturer recom-
mendations.
Move the SYSTEM switch on the thermostat to COOL and
the FAN switch to AUTO. Move the setpoint lever about
10°F (6°C) below the room temperature. Cooling and fan
should start. Move the setpoint lever about 10°F (6°C)
above the room temperature. Cooling and fan should shut
off.
Fan
Move the SYSTEM switch to OFF, and the FAN switch to
ON. The fan should run continuously. Move the FAN
switch to AUTO. In this position, the fan operates in
response to the thermostat in both heating and cooling.
