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

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
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
control in the trash.
Contact your local waste management authority for
instructions regarding the recycling and the proper
disposal of this control, or of an old control
containing mercury in a sealed tube.

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 mounting 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. 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 acceptable. 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 C815A Thermistor (T874W only)
The T874W is used with the C815A Thermistor mounted in
the outdoor section. Locate it in an area where it can
measure the true outdoor ambient temperature. Avoid
mounting the C815A in an area where it is exposed to high
temperatures or direct sunlight. Refer to heat pump
equipment instructions for proper mounting.
