Honeywell TH401 Non-programmable Thermostat Owner’s Manual

Honeywell TH401 Non-programmable Thermostat

About Your New Thermostat
This thermostat can be used to control an electric heating system such as a baseboard heater, a radiant floor, a radiant ceiling, a convector or a fan-forced heater.
The thermostat CANNOT be used with:

  • a resistive load under 0.83 A
  • a resistive load over 10.4 A
  • a system driven by a contactor or a relay (inductive load)
  • a central heating system
SUPPLIED PARTS
  • One (1) thermostat
  • Two (2) 6-32 mounting screws
  • Two (2) solderless connectors

Temperature Display and Setting

The thermostat normally displays the actual (ambient) temperature.

  • To view the setpoint temperature, briefly press the Up or Down button. The setpoint will be displayed for 5 seconds and the screen illuminated for 12 seconds.
  • To change the setpoint temperature, press the Up or Down button until the desired value is displayed.
Removing the Faceplate

TURN OFF POWER OF THE HEATING SYSTEM AT THE MAIN POWER PANEL TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Loosen the screw holding the faceplate to the base. The screw cannot be completely removed and remains captive on the base. Remove the faceplate from the base by pulling the bottom half.

Wiring

Connect any one of thermostat wires to the heater (load) wire and the other one to the power supply wire using solderless connectors for copper wires. (The thermostat wires are non-polarized; either wire can be connected to the load or to the power supply.)

NOTE: All cables and connections must conform to the local electrical code. Special CO/ALR solderless connectors must be used when connect-ing with aluminum conductors.

Installing the Faceplate
  • Install the base onto an electrical box.
  • Reinstall the faceplate on the base and secure it in place with the screw.
    NOTE: Keep the air vents of thermostat clean and unobstructed at all times.
Setup Procedure

The setup menu is shown on the following page.

  1. Press the Up and Down buttons simultaneously for three seconds to enter the setup menu.
  2. Press the Up or Down button to change the option.
  3.  Press the Up and Down buttons simultaneously for one second to advance to the next parameter.
  4. When the last parameter is displayed, press the Up and Down buttons for three seconds to save any changes and exit the menu.
    NOTE: If you do not press any button for one minute, the thermostat will automatically save any changes you have made and will then return to its normal display.

Problem Solutions
Thermostat is hot. This is normal.
Displayed tem- perature is wrong. Remediate if any the following conditions exists:

•      The thermostat is exposed to air draft.

•      The thermostat is located near or above a heat source such as a light dimmer.

Display disappears and reappears after a few minutes. The thermal protection device on the heater has temporarily opened. This can happen if the heater is obstructed by furniture or curtain and has overheated, or if the heater’s thermal protec- tion device is too sensitive.
