Thermostat/ Anticipator Range (A)
Operation
On a 2-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 are about 2° F [1° C] between stages so that the
second stage makes only when the first stage cannot
handle the load. This is the interstage differential.

Recycling Notice
M3375
This control contains mercury in a sealed tube. Do not
place 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 of an old control containing mercury in a
sealed tube.
If you have questions, call Honeywell at 1-800-468-1502.

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.
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 thermostat captive mounting screws, because damage to subbase threads
can result.
4. Do not short across terminals of systems controls. This can burn out the thermostat heat
anticipator.
IMPORTANT: Thermostats are calibrated at the factory by
using subbases mounted at true level. Inaccurate subbase leveling will cause thermostat control deviation.
LOCATION
Locate the subbase about 5 ft [1.5 m] above the floor in
an area with good air circulation at average temperature.
Do not mount the subbase where the thermostat may be
affected by:
— drafts or dead spots behind doors and in corners.
— hot or cold air from ducts.
— radiant heat from sun, appliances or fireplace.
— concealed pipes and chimneys.
— unheated (uncooled) areas such as an outside wall
behind the thermostat.
MOUNTING THE SUBBASE
The thermostat subbase can be mounted on a horizontal
outlet box or directly on the wall.
1. To mount on a horizontal outlet box, install the sub-
base on the outlet box as shown in Fig. 1.
For a wall installation, hold the subbase in position and
mark holes for the anchors (Fig. 2). Obtain wall anchors
locally. Take care that the wires do not fall back into the
wall opening. Set aside subbase. Drill two 3/16 in. [4.8 mm]
holes and gently tap anchors into the holes until flush with the
wall.
2. Pull electrical wires through the cover plate (if used)
and subbase cable opening (Fig. 3). See Wiring the Subbase section before pulling any wires.
IMPORTANT: Use 18 gauge, color-coded thermostat
cable for proper wiring.
3. Secure the subbase with the screws provided. Do not
fully tighten the subbase screws.

4. Level the subbase using a spirit level, as shown in
Fig. 3, and firmly tighten the subbase mounting screws.
The subbase mounting holes allow minor out-of-level
adjustments.
IMPORTANT: An incorrectly leveled subbase will cause
the temperature control to deviate from set point.
WIRING THE SUBBASE
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances. Follow equipment manufacturer wiring instructions when available. To wire subbase:
1. Connect wires to the subbase terminals. Refer to
Figs. 6-10 for wiring diagrams of typical zone systems. A
2
letter code is located near each subbase terminal for identification. The terminal barrier permits straight or conventional wraparound wiring connection (Fig. 4).
2. Some Q674 Subbases have RC and RH terminals
for isolated heating and cooling transformers. For zoning
systems, jumper RC and RH terminals as shown in Fig. 5
and wire as single R terminal.
3. Firmly tighten each terminal screw.
4. Fit wires as close as possible to the subbase. Push
excess wire back into hole.
5. Plug the hole with nonflammable insulation to prevent drafts from affecting the thermostat.
