WARNING
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD CAN
CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE
INJURY, OR DEATH.
Disconnect power supply before wiring to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
LOCATION
Locate the thermostat about 5 ft [1.5m] above the floor
in an area with good air circulation at average temperature.
Do not mount the thermostat where it may be affected by:
—drafts or dead spots behind doors and in corners.
—hot or cold air ducts.
—concealed pipes and chimneys.
— unheated (uncooled) areas such as an outside wall
behind the thermostat.
MOUNT THERMOSTAT MOUNTING PLATE
(FIG. 2)
Position mounting plate on wall. Use spirit level to make
sure mounting plate is level. Use a pencil to mark the two
mounting holes.
Level for appearance only; thermostat will function
properly even when not level. Tighten mounting screws.
Remove mounting plate from 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.
Reposition mounting plate over holes, pulling wires
through wiring opening. Loosely insert two mounting
screws into holes.
Not compatible with any 120/240 volt circuit.
Not designed for steam or gravity systems.

Run the required number of wires to the thermostat
location (check the appropriate wiring diagram). Refer to
Figs. 5 through 7 for typical wiring diagrams.
T8132 Models
Run the required number of wires to the thermostat
location (check the appropriate wiring diagram). Refer to
Figs. 8 through 11 for typical wiring diagrams.
In 5-wire installations only, be sure to remove the factory-installed jumper connecting terminals R and Rc.

ADJUST SYSTEM ON-LENGTH, AS REQUIRED
The thermostat on-length is factory-set for a warm air,
gas or oil heating system. When installing it on another type
of system, adjust the on-length accordingly by setting screws
A and B on the back of the thermostat, using the heating
system table in Fig. 12 as a guide. To minimize room
temperature swings, optimize the on-length according to
the type of system. Adjusting the screw “out one turn”
means turning the screw approximately 360°, or about one
complete turn.
NOTE: These thermostats do not have a setting for steam/
gravity air. Cycles would not be long enough for accu-
rate temperature control.
NOTE: For condensing furnaces, follow manufacturer
instructions.
If you want a longer on-length, readjust the screws as
follows (refer to the heating system table in Fig. 12):
If on-length screws A,B
are adjusted to match

Use two AA alkaline batteries; nonalkaline batteries
will not last as long. We recommend Energizer batteries.
Make sure the thermostat is set to OFF position.
Use a coin to remove battery door (see Fig. 13).
Install the fresh batteries as shown, making sure positive
and negative terminals are oriented correctly (see Fig. 14).
Replace battery door.
T8132 Models
As the batteries are running low, a “bAt Lo” indicator
will flash for one to two months before batteries run out
completely. Replace the batteries as soon as possible after
the indicator starts flashing. If the batteries are not replaced
sometime during the flashing “bAt Lo” indicator, the indicator will eventually stop flashing. When the batteries are
almost completely dead, “bAt Lo” will stay on without
flashing to indicate the thermostat and heating/cooling
system have stopped working.
The thermostat will not function after the batteries are
completely dead, and the “bAt Lo” indicator will disappear,
leaving a completely blank display.
Press down on left ends of batteries to remove. If the
new batteries are inserted within 20-30 seconds of removing the old ones, the thermostat will not require reprogramming. However, if the display is blank, the batteries are
dead or incorrectly installed and the thermostat requires
reprogramming. See owner’s manual to reprogram.
INSTALL BATTERIES
IMPORTANT: All T8132 models require batteries for
programming and operation of the thermostat and
heating/cooling system. Batteries are optional for
T8131 models, but are recommended to retain program memory if ac power is lost.
68-0148—1 6
T8131 Models
When the batteries are running low, the LED will display
“bAtLo” only when 24 Vac is not present, indicated by an
unlit LED.
IMPORTANT: Although the thermostat has a low battery
indicator, replace the batteries once a year to prevent the thermostat from losing time and program
due to lack of battery power.

After the thermostat is mounted on the subbase, check operation as follows:
Heating A,C B
For T8131 models only, first check that the green power LED is lit, indicating the
thermostat is powered properly.
Do not check heating system operation by jumpering thermostat terminals at the
primary control, such as the gas valve, zone valve, or oil burner control. This will
damage the thermostat.
Move the system switch to HEAT and the fan switch to AUTO.
Press key until the setting is about 10° F [6° C] above room temperature. After a
short delay, heating should start and the fan should run (immediately if fan
