FUEL SAVER THERMOSTATS
These thermostats provide energy saving control for a
24 Vac heating/cooling system as indicated in Table 1, and
are powered direct from the control transformer.
As long as thermostat is continuously powered, the
thermostat will be compatible with any control system.
These models include a SYSTEM LED, which is on
when the thermostat is signaling for heating or cooling. Heat
and cool anticipation is fixed in all models; no adjustment is
necessary. Cycle rates are adjustable for highest stage of
heating.
Fan operation option switch is included on SUPER
TRADELINE model to select fan operation for electric heat
application.
12/24 hour clock conversion and °C/°F conversion is
available on some models only.

INSTALLATION
IF NEW INSTALLATION
Run cable to a hole at the selected wall location, and pull
about 3 in. [76 mm] of wire through the opening. Color-
coded, 18 gauge thermostat cable with one conductor for
each wiring terminal is recommended. Good service prac-
tice recommends selecting cable with one or two more
conductors than the immediate application requires.
MOUNTING SUBBASE
IMPORTANT
The T8621 requires an additional conductor to
transformer common to provide continuous 24 V
power for thermostat operation.
Set the system switch in the OFF position before
mounting the subbase.
The subbase does not require leveling for proper opera-
tion, but for appearance only.
Remove thermostat from subbase (Fig. 1).
The subbase mounts directly onto the wall with the
screws and anchors included in the package. If drywall
construction, plastic anchors must be used; use the sub-
base as a template, and with a pencil, mark the two
mounting screw positions (Fig. 2). Use 3/16 in. bit to drill
holes for anchors. Gently tap anchors into holes until they
are flush to the wall surface. Thread wires through the
center opening of the subbase. Then, mount the subbase
using two screws provided. Gently tighten screws, level top
surface of subbase, then securely tighten screws.
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 on the product to make sure the
product is suitable for your application.
3.Installer must be a trained, experienced service tech-
nician.
4. Allow thermostat to warm to room temperature before
operating.
5.After installation is complete, check out product op-
eration as provided in these instructions.
CAUTION
Disconnect power supply to prevent electrical shock
or equipment damage.
IMPORTANT
After wiring is complete, push excess wire back into
the hole, and plug hole with nonhardening caulk,
putty, or insulation to prevent drafts from affecting
thermostat operation.
LOCATION
Install thermostat and subbase about 5 ft. [1.5 m] above
the floor in an area with good air circulation at room
temperature.
Do not install the thermostat where it may be affected
by—
drafts or dead spots behind doors, in corners, or
under cabinets.
hot or cold air from ducts.
radiant heat from sun or appliances.
concealed pipes and chimneys.
unheated (uncooled) areas behind the thermostat,
such as an outside wall.
IF REPLACING AN EXISTING THERMOSTAT
Turn power to thermostat off at furnace or boiler. A two
transformer system may require turning off two switches or
disconnects. Remove any existing wallplate or subbase
from wall. Label or write down each wire color with the letter
or number on the wiring terminal as the wire is removed, to
avoid miswiring later.

terminals.
WIRING
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances.
Disconnect power before wiring to prevent electrical
shock or equipment damage.
The shape of the terminal barrier permits insertion of
straight or conventional wraparound wiring connections.
Either method is acceptable.
Push excess wire back into the hole, and plug hole with
nonhardening caulk, putty or insulation to prevent drafts
from affecting thermostat operation.
Refer to Figs. 4-9 for typical hookups of subbase thermo-
stat.
NOTE: Restrict all wiring to recessed area surrounding
terminals (Fig.3) to assure thermostat/subbase contact.
ADJUSTING CYCLE RATE
To custom-tailor the thermostats cycling performance
to different types of heating equipment, cycle rate adjust-
ment screws are provided on the back of the thermostat.
Correct setting of these screws will provide optimum room
temperature control.
NOTE: MOST APPLICATIONS WILL NOT REQUIRE A
CHANGE IN CYCLE RATE.

pump thermostat. HEAT-OFF-COOL system
and AUTO-ON fan switching.
The room air temperature will normally vary slightly from
the comfort temperature setting with the cycling of the
furnace or air conditioner.
The heating cycle rate of this thermostat is factory-set for
gas/oil warm air heating. The cooling cycle rate cannot be
adjusted. The heating cycle rate can be adjusted by turning
one or both cycle rate adjustment screws located on the
back of the thermostat. In multistage heat systems, the
cycle rate adjustment applies to stage 2 only; stage 1 is
fixed. See Fig. 10.
TIME/TEMPERATURE CONVERSION (SOME MODELS)
The display readout may be converted between 12 and
24 hour clock or °C and °F using screws 2A and 2B as
indicated in Fig. 10.
FAN OPERATION OPTION SWITCH
The SUPER TRADELINE model includes a fan opera-
tion option switch on the subbase, visible before the ther-
mostat is mounted on the subbase. The switch should be in
electric heat position for electric heating systems that do not
have independent fan control.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Three AAA alkaline batteries are provided as backup to
prevent program loss in case of power outage. Batteries are
included with thermostat. Install batteries in back of thermo-
stat as shown in Fig. 11.
Without battery backup, the program will remain about
30 seconds in event of power loss.
IMPORTANT
When batteries are first installed, the display will flash
1:00 PM and 32° or 0°. The temperature display will
stay at 32° or 0° until the thermostat is powered from
the system wiring.

When the batteries are low, the display will flash
REPL BAT. The building owner will have 20-30 seconds to
install new batteries after removing old batteries from
thermostat. After 20-30 seconds, it will be necessary to
reprogram. REPL BAT indication will disappear when ther-
mostat is mounted back on the subbase.
If batteries are completely dead, the display will go
blank. After replacing the battery in this case, reprogram-
ming will be necessary.
POWER OUTAGES
Backup batteries will hold the programming and keep
the display on during most power outages. Once the power
is restored, the system will resume normal operation.
If the display goes off when power is lost, either the
backup batteries need to be replaced or are not installed.
When power is restored, the display will flash 1:00 PM to
remind you to reprogram.
MOUNTING THE THERMOSTAT
Hang the thermostat on the tabs at the top of the base
(Fig. 12a). Swing down and press on lower edge until
thermostat snaps in place (Fig. 12b). Open cover, and
tighten the captive mounting screws (Fig. 12c).

HEATING
NOTE: When heating setting is changed, thermostat will
wait up to 5 minutes before turning on the heating
equipment. This delay protects the compressor.
Move the system switch to HEAT and the fan switch to
AUTO. Press WARMER key until the setting is about 10° F
[6° C] above room temperature. Heating should start (both
stages if multistage), and the fan should run (may be a short
delay on gas or oil forced air systems). Press COOLER key
until the setting is about 10° F [6° C] below room tempera-
ture. The heating equipment should shut off, followed by the
fan.
NOTE: On an AUTO changeover thermostat, the cooling
