CAUTION

Damage To Heating/Cooling System Possible.

Be careful when handling wires

during installation.

Disconnect power at furnace or at main breaker/fuse

box.

IMPORTANT

Use an 18-gauge maximum wire for wiring the

T8700 Thermostat.

All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and

ordinances. A letter is located near each terminal for

identification.

NOTE: To ensure proper mounting of thermostat, restrict all

wiring to the left side of the terminals. See Fig. 4.

(Refer to Table 1 for T8700B wiring connections.)

The shape of the terminals permits insertion of straight or

wraparound wiring connections; either method is acceptable.

See Fig. 5.
