Honeywell T87F Installation Instructions

APPLICATION
The T87F Universal Thermostat provides temperature
control for 24 to 30 Vac residential heating, cooling or
heating/cooling systems. For heating systems, the T87F
mounts on the wallplate provided. For cooling only, or
heating/cooling, order the 137421A (198170A for
textured designer model) Heating-Cooling Wallplate with
remote switching, or the Q539 Subbase that provides
switching at the thermostat location.
The spdt switch makes one set of contacts on a
temperature fall to operate the heating system. The other
set of contacts makes on a temperature rise to operate
the cooling system when the T87F is used to control
cooling.
Models with positive Off feature break the electrical
circuit to prevent system operation when the switch is
moved to the Off position. These models use the
137421B Wallplate for cooling or heating/cooling
systems.
Heat anticipation is adjustable, 0.1 to 1.2A.
MERCURY NOTICE
If this control is replacing a control that contains
mercury in a sealed tube, do not place your old
control in the trash.
Contact your local waste management authority
for instructions regarding recycling and the
proper disposal of this control, or of an old control
containing mercury in a sealed tube.
