T874H,Q,W Multistage Thermostats and
Q674B,C,G,L Subbases
APPLICATION
The T874H,Q,W Multistage Thermostats provide 24 to 30
Vac control for heating and cooling systems as listed in
Table 1.
Table 1. Heating and Cooling Stages.
a
Plus a changeover stage that operates with cooling.
The Q674B,C,G,L Subbases provide wiring terminals,
system and fan switching, and mounting bases for T874
Multistage Thermostats as listed in Table 2.
Table 2. Switching Positions.
OPERATION
On a two-stage or three-stage heat thermostat, the stages
of heat
make
sequentially as the temperature drops.
Make
refers to the mercury switch initiating a call for heat or cool.
There are about 2°F (1°C) between the stages so that the
second stage makes only when the first stage can not
handle the load. About one degree later, the third stage
makes (T874W only). This degree difference is called the
interstage differential
.
Select models include LEDs (light-emitting diodes). The
LED lights to indicate a problem with the system; refer to
the system manufacturer instructions.
When an LED lights, refer to this list for the meaning:
FILTER: clogged filter needs replacement.
EM. HT.: emergency heat is operating. The compressor
has failed, and the heat pump is not operating. The
LED lights when the homeowner places the system
switch in the EM. HT. position.
AUX. HT.: auxiliary heat is operating because the
weather is so cold that the heat pump alone cannot
handle the load.
SERVICE or CHECK: system needs to be checked.
See heating system instructions for specific
meaning.
LEDs are not field addable or replaceable.
RECYCLING NOTICE

CAUTION
1. Disconnect the power supply to prevent
electrical shock or equipment damage.
2. Run the wires as close as possible to the
subbase. To prevent interference with the
thermostat linkage, keep the wire length to a
minimum. Push the excess wire back into the
hole, and plug the hole to prevent drafts from
affecting the thermostat operation.
3. Do not tighten the thermostat captive mount-
ing screws to the point of damaging the
subbase threads.
4. Do not short across the coil terminals on the
relay. This can burn out the heat anticipator.
5. Never install more than one wire per terminal
unless a factory-supplied jumper with a spade
terminal is used.
IMPORTANT
These thermostats are calibrated at the factory
by using subbases mounted at true level.
Inaccurate subbase leveling causes thermostat
control deviation.
Location
Install the thermostat about 5 ft (1.5m) above the floor in
an area with good air circulation at average temperature.
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 sun or appliances.
— concealed pipes and chimneys.
— unheated (uncooled) areas behind the thermostat
such as an outside wall.
Mounting and Wiring the Subbase
Mount the subbase on a wall or horizontal outlet box. If
you mount it on a vertical outlet box, order Honeywell part
no. 193121A Adapter Assembly, which includes an
adapter ring with two screws, and a cover plate to cover
the marks on the wall.
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances. Follow the equipment manufacturer wiring
instructions, when available.
To install the subbase:
Prepare a hole for the thermostat wires at the
chosen location. Run wires to the location.
Pull about 6 in. (152 mm) of wire through the hole.
IMPORTANT
Use 18 gauge, color-coded thermostat cable for
proper wiring.
When mounting the subbase on a vertical outlet box,
install an adapter ring with the two screws provided
with the adapter assembly. See Fig. 1.
Pull the wires through the cover plate (if used) and
the subbase wire opening. Secure the cover plate
and subbase with the two screws provided, but do
not fully tighten.
The subbase mounting slots provide for minor out-
of-level adjustments. Level the subbase by using a
spirit level and tightening the subbase mounting
screws. See Fig. 2.
Fig. 1. Installation on vertical or horizontal outlet box.
Fig. 2. Leveling subbase.
Connect the system wires to the subbase. See Fig.
4 through 9. A letter code for identification is
located near each terminal. The terminal barrier
permits straight or conventional wraparound wiring
connections. See Fig. 3. Either method is accept-
able. Run the wires as close as possible to the
subbase, keeping the wire length to a minimum.
Push the excess wire back into the hole. Plug the
hole to prevent drafts.
IMPORTANT
An incorrectly leveled subbase causes the
temperature control to deviate from the setpoint.

Mounting the Thermostat
Remove the thermostat cover by pulling the bottom
edge of the cover upward until it snaps free of the
cover clip.
NOTE: The cover is hinged at the top and must be
removed by pulling up at the bottom.
Carefully remove and discard the polystyrene
packing insert that protects the mercury switches
during shipment.
Turn over the thermostat base and note the spring
fingers that engage the subbase contacts. Make
sure the spring fingers are
not
bent flat, preventing
proper electrical contact with the subbase.
T874Q only: Set the heat anticipator indicators to
the respective current setting for each stage. See
Setting the Heat Anticipator section. T874H and
T874W have fixed anticipation; the settings are
preselected and cannot be adjusted.
Note the tabs along the top inside edge of the
thermostat base. The tabs fit into the subbase
notches. Mount the thermostat base on the subbase
and tighten the captive mounting screws. See Fig. 1.
Place the upper edge of the thermostat cover on the
thermostat base and swing the cover downward until
it engages with the cover clip on the base.

SETTING
Setting the Heat Anticipator (T874Q Only)
Set each heat anticipator to match its primary control
current draw. If the primary control nameplate has no
rating or if further adjustment is necessary, use the
following procedure to determine the current draw of each
stage. (Measure the current draw of each heating stage
with the thermostat removed and the power on.)
Connect an ac ammeter of appropriate range
between the heating terminals of the subbase as
follows:
Stage 1: between W1 and RH or R.
Stage 2: between W2 and R.
Move the system switch to AUTO (if applicable).
After one minute, read the ammeter and record the
reading.
After mounting the thermostat, set the adjustable
heat anticipator(s) to match the respective
reading(s) measured in step .
Temperature Setting
Move the heating and cooling levers to the desired
positions. The minimum differential between the heating
and cooling setpoints is 3°F (1.7°C), which means the
setting levers cannot be set closer together than 3°F
(1.7°C) (5° F [2.8°C] for T874W).
Subbase Setting
System switching positions control thermostat operation as
follows:
OFF: Both the heating and cooling systems are off. If
the fan switch is in the AUTO position, the cooling
fan is also off.
AUTO: Thermostat automatically changes between the
heat and cool modes, depending on the indoor
temperature.
HEAT: Heating system is controlled by the thermostat.
Cooling system is off.
EM. HT.: Emergency heat relay is energized. The
cooling system is off. When the compressor has
failed and the heat pump is not operating, switch to
the EM. HT. position.
Fan switching positions control fan operation as follows
(Q674B,C, or L):
ON: Fan operates continuously.
AUTO: Fan operates with cooling equipment as
controlled by the thermostat or with the heating
equipment as controlled by the plenum switch.
To switch positions, use thumb and index finger to slide
the lever to the desired position. The switch lever must
stop in detent over the desired function indicator mark for
proper circuit operation.
C815 Outdoor Reset Thermistor (T874W only)
The T874W is used with a C815 Thermistor mounted in
the outdoor section. The thermistor must be used; if not,
thermostat performance will deviate radically from proper
operation.
Fig. 10 Thermistor resistance chart.
The proper thermistor operation must be verified to assure
the correct operation of the thermostat. Check the
thermistor operation as follows:
Disconnect the
T
wire on the subbase.
Use an ohmmeter to measure resistance between
the
T
wire and the transformer common.
Take the outdoor temperature at thermistor location
and find the correct thermistor resistance on the
chart in Fig. 10.
If the resistance measured in step and the
calculated resistance in step vary by more than
15 percent, the thermistor requires replacement.
Contact the installing dealer for the packaged
replacement outdoor thermistor.
CHECKOUT
Heating
Move the system switch on the Q674 Subbase to HEAT or
AUTO. Move the heating lever on the T874 about 10°F
(6°C) above room temperature. Both stages of heating
start and the fan runs after a short delay. Move the heating
lever about 10°F (6°C) below room temperature. The
heating equipment shuts off, and the fan runs for a short
time, and then shuts off.
Cooling
Move the system switch on the Q674 Subbase to COOL
or AUTO. Move the cooling lever on the T874 Thermostat
about 10°F (6°C) below room temperature. The cooling
equipment and fan start. Move the cooling lever about
10°F (6°C) above room temperature. The cooling equip-
ment and fan stop.
Emergency Heat
Move the system switch to EM. HT. The EM. HT. LED
comes on. Move the heating lever about 10°F (6°C) above
room temperature. The electric strip heater(s) comes on.
Move the heating lever about 10°F (6°C) below room
temperature. The electric strip heater de-energizes. The
EM. HT. LED remains on until the system switch is moved
to another postion.

CALIBRATION
Thermostat
T874 Thermostats are accurately calibrated at the factory.
They do not have provision for field calibration.
Thermometer
Remove the thermostat cover by pulling up from the
bottom of the cover until it clears the locking springs.
Set the cover on a table near an accurate thermom-
eter.
After allowing 10 or 15 minutes for stabilization,
compare the readings. If they are the same, replace
the cover and put the system into operation. If they
are different, recalibrate the thermostat thermom-
eter; see step
Insert a small screwdriver into the thermometer shaft
and turn it until the thermometers read the same.
See Fig. 11. When the thermometer is calibrated,
replace the cover and place the system into
operation.
NOTE: Hand heat offsets the thermometer
reading. After making each adjustment,
wait 10 or 15 minutes for the thermometer
to stabilize before comparing.
