WARNING:
• Always turn off power at main fuse or circuit breaker panel before installing, removing, cleaning, or servicing thermostat.
• Read all the information in this manual before installing this thermostat.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO 120 VAC. This is a 24 VAC low-voltage thermostat. Do not install on voltages higher than 30 VAC.
• All wiring must conform to local and national building and electrical codes and ordinances.
• Do not short (jumper) across terminals on the gas valve or at the system control to test installation. This will damage the thermostat and void the warranty.
• Do not connect ground to any terminal in this unit.
Recycling Thermostat
If this thermostat REPLACES a thermostat that contains mercury, DO NOT discard the old thermostat in the regular trash. Mercury is harmful to humans and the environment. For this reason, do not open, break, or crush the mercury cell. If mercury leaks from a damaged cell, DO NOT touch or handle mercury with bare hands. Use protective, non-absorbent gloves to place mercury into a sealable container. Fill the container with sand or another absorbent material and seal the container completely.
Return the mercury or mercury products, in a sealed container, to Invensys Controls Americas or a local recycling center for proper disposal. If you have any questions, call Robertshaw technical support at 1-800-445-8299.

1. Turn off power to heating and cooling system.
2. Remove cover from old thermostat to expose wires (Figure 1).
3. Disconnect wires one at a time from existing terminals. Use enclosed labels to mark existing wires. Refer to cross references in the Wiring Table if existing wiring does not directly match the labels.
4. Remove existing thermostat base from wall.
Step 2: Installing Model 8406 Thermostat
NOTE: FOR NEW INSTALLATIONS, MOUNT THERMOSTAT ON
INSIDE WALL, FIVE FEET ABOVE THE FLOOR. DO NOT INSTALL BEHIND A DOOR, IN A CORNER, NEAR AIR VENTS, IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, OR NEAR ANY HEAT OR STEAM GENERATING FIXTURES. INSTALLATION AT THESE LOCATIONS WILL AFFECT THERMOSTAT OPERATION.
1. Turn power off to the heating and cooling systems.
2. Place OFF-COOL in OFF position (Figure 2).
3. Place AUTO-ON switch into AUTO position (Figure 2).

4. Remove the cover using a coin or screwdriver (Figure 3). Set aside.
5. Place thermostat against the wall at desired location. Make sure wires will feed through opening (Figure 4) on base of thermostat.
6. Mark placement of mounting holes (Figure 4). Set base aside.
7. If mounting on drywall, tap plastic anchors into wall. NOTE: Enclosed plastic anchors do not require a drilled hole for drywall.
8. If mounting on a surface other than drywall, drill the marked holes using a 3/16" (5mm) drill bit.
9. Align base with plastic anchors and feed wires through opening.
10. Secure base to wall with supplied screws. NOTE: The thermostat will mount horizontally on a single gang junction box.
11. Strip end of wires 5/16” (8mm) if needed.
12. Terminal screws are already loose and ready for wire insertion. Insert wires into terminal strip (Figure 4) matching the label to the corresponding terminal (see Wiring Diagrams). Tighten screws.

Step 3: Testing the Thermostat
WARNING: DO NOT SHORT (JUMPER) ACROSS TERMINALS OF GAS
VALVE OR SYSTEM CONTROL TO TEST OPERATION. THIS WILL DAMAGE THE THERMOSTAT AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
CAUTION: DO NOT SWITCH SYSTEM TO COOL OR LEAVE IN COOL MODE
IF THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50°F (10°C). THIS CAN DAMAGE THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Place the OFF-COOL switch into the COOL position. The will be displayed.
2. Press the button until the temperature setting is at least 3 degrees below the room temper­ature. The air conditioning system should turn on within a few seconds.
NOTE: ONCE THE THERMOSTAT TURNS OFF WHEN IN THE COOL MODE,
A BUILT IN 5-MINUTE DELAY PREVENTS THE SYSTEM FROM TURNING ON AGAIN. THIS PROTECTS THE COMPRESSOR. NO ADDITIONAL TIME DELAY RELAY IS REQUIRED. TO OVERRIDE THE 5-MINUTE DELAY FOR INSTALLATION, PRESS THE RESET BUTTON.
3. Put the OFF-COOL switch into the OFF position. The air conditioning system should turn off.
4. Put the AUTO-ON switch into the ON position. The blower fan should turn on. The display will show a .
5. Put the AUTO-ON switch into the AUTO position. The blower fan should turn off.

Step 4: Customizing the Thermostat
Settings
System
Cool: The thermostat controls the cooling. Off: The heating and cooling systems are off.
Fan
Auto: Equipment controls the fan. On: The fan operates continuously.
Temperature Differential
The temperature differential is factory set at 1.0°F (.5°C). This means that whenever the room temperature changes by one degree Fahrenheit from the temperature setting, the system will turn on. If the system turns on too often, increase the temperature differential.
Changing Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C),
the Temperature Differential, and the Filter Monitor
1. The thermostat is preset to display the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (US models) or degrees Celsius (Canadian models). The temperature display can be changed. Press and hold both the
and buttons for three seconds. The display will flash either an F
or C. Release buttons. Press the or button to switch the display.
2. Wait five seconds or press and the display will switch to the differential setting.
3. The display will read diFF. The tempera­ture differential is factory set at 1.0°F (0.5°C). Press the or button to adjust the differential up or down.
4. Wait five seconds or press and the display will switch to the filter monitor setting.
5. CHECK FILTER and the length of hours for the filter monitor will be displayed.
6. Use the or to adjust the filter timer from 0 (OFF) to 9900 hours. NOTE: The filter timer is based on equipment run time. Select the length of time based on the recommended service interval for your filter.
7. Press the to return to normal operation.

Check Filter Reset
Once the filter timer has expired, CHECK FILTER will turn on and stay on. To clear the message and reset the timer:
1. Press the and buttons and hold for 3 seconds. CLr will appear in the time display.
2. Press any key to clear the message. The display will transition to the temperature scale display as described in the previous section.
3. No further input is needed. Within a few seconds, the display will return to the normal operating mode.
Backlit Display
This thermostat is equipped with a backlight to make night time temper­ature adjustments quick and easy. Press the button to activate the backlight. The backlight will turn off after about 10 seconds of inactivity.
Reset
To reset the thermostat press the RESET button located above the upper left corner of the display.

Step 5: Troubleshooting
Symptom Remedy
Thermostat does not turn on system.
Check wiring (see Installation section).
10
Thermostat turns system on and off too frequently.
Increase temperature differential (see Changing the Temperature Differential section).
Display is blank, flashing or constant LO BATT.
Replace batteries.
Thermostat does not display proper room temperature.
Check F/C (Fahrenheit/Celsius) setting. See Changing Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C).
Note: Although the thermostat has a low battery indicator, replace the
batteries once a year to prevent leakage and to prevent the ther­mostat and heat/cooling system from shutting down due to lack of battery power in the thermostat.
