Honeywell CT30 Series Low-Voltage Thermostat

Getting started

Check package contents:

  • Thermostat
  • Coverplate
  • Wall anchors & screws (2 each)
  • Caution card
  • Wire labels

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • No. 2 Phillips & small pocket screwdrivers
  • Hammer
  • Level (optional)
  • Pencil
  • Drill and bit (3/16” for drywall, 7/32” for plaster)

Remove your old thermostat

TURN OFF POWER at heating/cooling system (or fuse/circuit-breaker panel).
Remove cover and thermostat, but leave wallplate with wires attached.

MERCURY NOTICE
If your old thermostat contains mercury, contact your local waste management authority for proper disposal instructions.

Label wires and remove old wallplate

Use a screwdriver to disconnect wires one by one. As you disconnect each wire, wrap it with the label matching the letter on your old thermostat. (Adhesive labels are supplied in your
thermostat package.)

Remove the old wallplate only after all wires are labeled. Be careful not to let loose wires fall into the wall opening.

  • For CT30/CT33: If your old thermostat has 3 or more wires (not counting terminals C or C1), you may have purchased the wrong replacement thermostat. Stop now and call
    1-800-468-1502 for advice.
  • For CT31: If your old thermostat has 5 or more wires (not counting terminals C or C1), you may have purchased the wrong replacement thermostat. Stop now and call
    1-800-468-1502 for advice.
