Installation tips
Install the thermostat about 5 feet (1.5 m) above the floor in an area with good air circulation at average temperature.
Do not install in locations where the thermostat can be affected by:
- Drafts or dead spots behind doors and in corners
- Hot or cold air from ducts
- Sunlight or radiant heat from appliances
- Concealed pipes or chimneys
- Unheated/uncooled areas such as an outside wall behind the thermostat.
Wallplate installation
- Pull wires through wire hole. Position wallplate on wall, level, and mark hole positions.
- Drill holes (3/16” for drywall, 7/32” for plaster) and tap in supplied wall anchors.
- Pull wire through wallplate, position over anchors, then insert and tighten mounting screws. Check level if desired.
Wiring
- Loosen screw terminals, insert wires into terminal block, then re-tighten screws.
- Push excess wire back into the wall opening.
- Plug the wall opening with nonflammable insulation to prevent drafts from affecting thermostat operation.
Terminal Designations—T87N
W Heat relay.
Y Compressor contactor.
G Fan relay.
O Heat pump changeover valve energized in cooling.
Rc Cooling power. Connect to secondary side of cooling system transformer.
R Heating power. Connect to secondary side of heating system transformer.
B Heat pump changeover valve energized in heating.
NOTES
R & Rc terminals (T87N) In single-transformer system, leave metal jumper in place between R & Rc. Remove
metal jumper if two-transformer system.
Terminal Designations—T87K
W Heat relay.
R Power. Connect to secondary side of heating system transformer.
Y This terminal can be used for some 3-wire hot-water valve systems (power open and close valves).
Heat pump systems (T87N)
If wiring to a heat pump, use a small piece of wire (not supplied) to connect terminals W and Y.
Wire specifications Use 18-gauge thermostat wire. Shielded cable is not required.
Fan operation settings (T87N)
Fan operation settings:
F: For gas or oil heating systems, leave the fan operation switch in this factory-set position (for systems that control the fan in a call for heat).
E: Change the switch to this setting for heat pump or electric heat systems. (This setting is for systems that allow the thermostat to control the fan in a call for heat,
if a fan wire is connected to the G terminal.)
Cycle rate settings
Thermostat mounting
Align the slots on the base with tabs on the thermostat, then push gently until the thermostat snaps into place.
Operation
Do not operate cooling system when outdoor temperature is below 50°F (10°C).
