T8112C,D Electronic
Programmable Thermostats
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
APPLICATION
The T8112C,D thermostats provide electronic
programmable control for 24 to 30 Vac heating and
cooling systems.
RECYCLING NOTICE
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 recycling and the proper
disposal of the old thermostat.

INSTALLATION
When Installing this Product…
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
them could 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. 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 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 such as an outside wall
behind the thermostat.
Mounting Plate Installation
Position mounting plate on the wall. Use a level to make
sure mounting plate is level. Use a pencil to mark the two
mounting holes. See Fig. 1.

1. Remove mounting plate from the wall, and drill
3/16 inch holes in wall (if drywall) as marked. For
firmer material such as plaster or wood, drill
7/32 inch holes. Gently tap anchors (provided) into
drilled holes until flush with the wall.
2. Reposition mounting plate over holes, pulling
wires through wiring opening. Loosely insert two
mounting screws into holes.
3. Level for appearance only; the thermostat will
function properly even when not level. Tighten
mounting screws. See Fig. 2.

Adjust Fan Operation Switch,
as Required
The Thermostat fan operation switch, labeled FUEL
SWITCH is factory set in the F position. See Fig. 4. This
is the correct setting for most systems. If your system is
an electric heat system, set the switch to E. The E setting
allows the fan to turn on immediately with the heating or
cooling in a system where the G terminal is connected.
Adjust System On-time, as Required
The system on-time is factory-set for a warm air, gas or
oil heating system. If you are installing it on another type
of system, the system on-time must be adjusted
accordingly by setting screws A and B on the back of the
thermostat. Use the heating system table shown in Fig. 3
as a guide. The system on-time should be optimized
according to the type of system to minimize room
temperature swings. Setting the screw
means turning the screw approximately 360° or one
complete turn. Setting the screw in means tightening the
screw completely down.
In the event that you want longer furnace on-time,
readjust the screws A and B as follows:
• Warm Air Furnace—set at the Hot Water setting (A—
out one turn, B—in).
• Electric Furnace—Leave at the Warm Air Furnace
setting (A—in, B—in).
NOTE: This thermostat does not have a setting for
steam/gravity air. Cycles would not be long
enough for accurate temperature control.

IMPORTANT
When using a high efficiency furnace such as a
90 percent or greater AFUE (Average Fuel
Utilization Efficiency) unit, adjust screw A out
one turn and screw B in.

Wiring Thermostat
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances. Ref er to Fig. 4 through 7 for typical hookups. A
letter code is located near each terminal for identification.
See Table 1 f or terminal cross referencing inf ormation.
CAUTION
Disconnect power before wiring to prevent
electrical shock or equipment damage.
1. Connect the system wires to the thermostat. See
Fig. 8. A letter code is located near each terminal
for identification.
NOTE: Hold the thermostat as shown in Fig. 9 to
minimize need for wire extenders.
2. Securely tighten each terminal screw.
3. Push excess wire back into the hole.
4. Plug hole with nonflammable insulation to prevent
drafts from affecting the thermostat.
