Adjust Fan Operation Switch, as Required
The thermostat fan operation switch, labeled FUEL SWITCH
(see Fig. 9) is factory set in the F position. This is the correct
setting for most systems. If you have an electric heat system,
set the switch to E. In systems with the G terminal connected,
the E setting turns on the fan immediately with heating or
cooling.

NOTE: This thermostat does not have a setting for steam/

accurate temperature control.
NOTE: For condensing furnaces, follow manufacturer
instructions.
IMPORTANT
When using a high efficiency furnace such as a
90 percent or greater AFUE (Average Fuel Utilization
Efficiency) unit, adjust screw A out one turn and
screw B In one turn.
If you want a longer on-time, readjust screws A and B as
follows (refer to Table 1 Compatibility Chart):
¥ Warm Air FurnaceÑset at the Hot Water setting (AÑout
one turn, BÑin).
¥ Electric FurnaceÑleave at the Warm Air Furnace setting
(AÑin, BÑin).
NOTE: This thermostat does not have a setting for steam/
gravity air. Cycles would not be long enough for
accurate temperature control.
Install Batteries
IMPORTANT
Batteries must be installed for programming and
operating the thermostat and heating/cooling
system.
     1.  Use two AA alkaline batteries; nonalkaline batteries will
not last as long.
     2.  Make sure the thermostat is set to the Off position.
     3.  Use a coin to remove the battery door (see Fig. 10).
     4.  Install the new batteries as shown, making sure positive
and negative terminals are oriented correctly (see Fig. 11).
     5.  Replace the battery door.
When 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
when the 
bAt Lo indicator is flashing, the indicator eventually
stops flashing. When the batteries are almost completely
dead, 
bAt Lo will stay on without flashing, indicating that 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 disappears, leaving
a completely blank display.
To remove the batteries, press down on the left ends. When
the new batteries are installed within 20 to 30 seconds of
removing the old ones, the thermostat does not have to be
reprogrammed. If the display is blank, the batteries are dead
or incorrectly installed and the thermostat has to be
reprogrammed. See OwnerÕs Manual for reprogramming
instructions.
IMPORTANT
Although the thermostat has a low battery indicator,
replace the batteries once a year to prevent the
thermostat from losing time and programming due to
lack of battery power.
Fig. 9. Back view of thermostat.
Adjust System On-Time as Required
The thermostat on-time is factory set for a warm air, gas or oil
heating system. If you are installing it on another type of
system, the system on-time must be adjusted by changing the
setting of screws A and B on the back of the thermostat. Use
the heating system table in Fig. 9 as a guide to minimize room
temperature swings. The system on-time should be optimized
according to the type of system. Setting the screw 
out one
turn
 means turning the screw approximately 360°, or one
complete turn.

CHECKOUT AND SETTINGS
After the thermostat is mounted on the mounting plate, check operation as follows:
Fan Switch
FAN AUTO: Normal setting for most homes. A
single-speed fan turns on automatically with
the air conditioner or furnace. A two-speed fan
usually runs on high with the air conditioner
and on low with the furnace.
FAN ON: The fan runs continuously. Use for
improved air circulation during special
occasions or for more efficient electronic air
cleaning.
System Switch
COOL: The thermostat controls the air
conditioning system.
OFF: Both the heating and air conditioning
systems are off.
HEAT: The thermostat controls the heating
system.

Heating
Do not check the heating system operation by jumpering the 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 the TEMP key until the setting is about 10°F (6°C) above the room temperature. After a short
delay, the heating should start and the fan should run (immediately if fan operation switch is set in  
E position).
Press the TEMP key until the setting is about 10°F (6°C) below the room temperature. The heating
equipment should shut off.
Cooling
To avoid possible compressor damage, do not operate the cooling system when the outside temperature
is below 50°F (10°C). See the compressor manufacturer instructions for further information.   
NOTE: When the cooling setting is changed, the thermostat can delay up to five minutes before turning
on the air conditioner to protect the compressor.  
Move the system switch to COOL and the fan switch to AUTO.
Press the TEMP key until the setting is about 10°F (6°C) below room temperature. The cooling
equipment and fan should start.
Press the TEMP key until the setting is about 10°F (6°C) above the room temperature. The cooling
equipment and fan should stop.
Move the system switch to OFF with the fan switch remaining at AUTO. The system and fan should be
off.

Minimum Off-Timer
A minimum off-timer for the T8112D assures that the cooling
compressor does not come on again for at least five minutes
after it turns off.  The minimum-off timer is triggered when the
compressor turns off and when the system switch is changed.If the compressor turns off when the setpoint is changed, then
the minimum-off timer is triggered, which operates only during
the cooling cycle of the T8112D.

• If the temperature setting is higher than the current temperature, and S\
YSTEM ON
indicator is lit, see the furnace manufacturer instructions.
Cooling will not come on. • If the display is blank or displays bAt Lo, install fresh batteries.
• In 2- or 4-wire installations, verify that the R-Rc jumper is installed.\
• Check that the switch on the thermostat is set to COOL.
• Check the system fuse or circuit breaker and replace or reset if necessa\
ry.
• The thermostat has a built-in time delay on cooling. Allow five to ten m\
inutes afterchanging the setting before the air conditioner starts.
• If the temperature setting is lower than the current temperature, and th\
