Tools

To avoid electrical shock and to prevent damage to the furnace, air conditioner,

and thermostat, disconnect the power supply before beginning work.

This can be done at the circuit breaker, or at the appliance.

C A U T I O N

Your thermostat is a precise instrument.

Please handle it with care.

Turn off electricity to the appliance before installing or

servicing thermostat or any part of the system. Do not

turn electricity back on until work is completed.

Do not short (jumper) across electric terminals at

control on furnace or air conditioner to test the system.

This will damage the thermostat and void your warranty.

All wiring must conform to local codes and ordinances.

This thermostat is designed for use with 24 volt AC and

millivolt systems. The thermostat should be limited to a

maximum of 1.0 amps; higher amperage may cause

damage to the thermostat.

On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in place of the

old one if possible.

On new Installations, follow the guidelines listed below.

Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the

floor, and in a room that is used often.

Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as: in

direct sunlight; near a lamp, radio, television, radiator register, or

fireplace; near hot water pipes in a wall; near a stove on the other side

of a wall.

Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as: on a wall separating

an unheated room; or in a draft from a stairwell, door, or window.

Do not locate in a damp area. This can lead to corrosion that will shorten

thermostat life.

Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as: in a corner or an

alcove; or behind an open door.

Do not install the unit until all construction work and painting has been

completed.

This thermostat does not require leveling.

You will need #1 Phillips screwdriver (small) and

Drill with 3/16-in. (4.8mm) bit for this installation.

The 8022 can be used with most 24 volt gas, oil or electric heating and air conditioning systems, single-

stage heat pumps or gas millivolt heating systems. It cannot be used with 120 volt heating systems or

multistage heat pumps. Ask The Home Depot for other thermostats to control those systems.

The 8022 is programmable. There are four programming periods

per day. Each period can be programmed separately.

You can use the built-in time/temperature programs, or alter them

to suit your schedule.

The 8022 separately programs Weekdays, Saturday, and Sunday

- for both heating and cooling.

You can easily override the programmed temperatures for as little

as one programming period or for an entire vacation.

A large liquid crystal display shows time, day of the week, room

and set temperatures. It will also remind you when the filter

should be changed in your blower.

Temperature swing adjustment lets you fine-tune your system for maximum comfort and energy

efficiency.

A 4-minute minimum off time in COOL protects your air conditioning system from being damaged.

Two "AA" batteries (not included) are used to retain your time and temperature programs, and to

run the thermostat.

Caution

Switch electricity to the furnace and air conditioner OFF;

then proceed with the following steps.

Remove cover from old thermostat. Most are snap-on types and simply pull

off. Some have locking screws on the side or front. These must be loosened.

Note the letters printed near the terminals. Attach labels (enclosed) to each

wire for identification.

Label the wires one at a time. You must have all the wires labeled before

you proceed. With all wires labeled, remove them from the old unit.

Make sure the wires do not fall back inside the wall. Wind them around a

pencil to keep them from falling.

Loosen all screws on the old thermostat and

remove it from the wall.

Fill wall opening with non-combustible insulation

to prevent drafts.

Separate front from back of unit. Press up on the

catch on bottom of thermostat and swing the body

away from the base, lift up to remove the body from

the base.

Hold the base against the wall, with the wires

coming through the opening below the terminal block.

Position the base for best appearance. If you chose to use the optional Wall

Plate, put it in position before screwing base to wall.

Attach the base to the wall with the

two screws provided.

If you are mounting the base to sheet

rock or if you are using the old

mounting holes, use the plastic

anchors provided. Drill a 3/16-

in.(4.8mm) hole for the insert at each

screw location, then mount the base.

When you have finished making connections. hook

the top of the body onto the base, swing the body

down, and snap the body onto the base.

Read instructions carefully before removing any wiring from existing thermostat. Wires must be labeled

before they are removed. THERE IS NO STANDARD COLOR CODE. When removing wires from their

terminals, ignore the color of the wires since these may not comply with the standard.

Note:

FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY

If you have an electric furnace system and the blower does

not operate after installation, remove the thermostat, turn it

over, and find the electric/gas heat selector jumper on the

back of the control unit. Switch it to "Elect"(see Diag below).

1) The 8022 can run on batteries only. (2AA Alkaline) 24VAC and MV

The batteries will last well over 1 year. If the batteries are not replaced the

thermostat will stop working. Use the MV/C power jumper position.

2) The 8022 can run on the C wire if available.

24VAC ONLY

As shown in the wiring diagrams, The C wire is the other side of the 24VAC

heating transformer. If the C wire is used, the batteries are then for AC power

loss only and will last much longer. The thermostat will continue working if the

batteries die. Use the MV/C power jumper position.

3) The 8022 can run on 24VAC series power. 24VAC ONLY

Power for the thermostat comes from the W and RH wires. The batteries are

then for AC power loss only and will last much longer. The thermostat will

continue working if the batteries die. Use the FURN power jumper position.

To locate the Power Mode

Jumpers. Remove the

control unit from the wall

mount, turn it over, and

locate the jumper. It is set

at the factory on MV/C.

Change it from MV/C to

FURN to use series

power.

This option works with

24VAC, .1 to 1 amp.

systems only. Verify

operation. If it doesnt work

go back to options 1 or 2 above.

The 8022 requires batteries to operate

your furnace and retain its programming in

memory.

Switch MODE switch to OFF and

the FAN switch to AUTO.

Remove the front panel battery cover and

install 2 AA alkaline batteries according to

the polarity noted in the compartment.

Initially, all LCD segments will go on.

Press the RESET button to clear transient

program memory.

NOTE: Replace the batteries when this LOW battery

indicator appears on the display or once a year. When

replacing batteries, you have approximately one minute before

your custom program is lost.

Follow these procedures to verify you have correctly installed the unit.

To check HEAT mode:

Set the mode switch to HEAT. Set the fan

switch AUTO.

Using the TEMP UP button raise the set point

to 90deg allow the system 5 min to respond.

Verify that heat is blowing from the system.

To check COOL mode:

Set the mode switch to COOL.

Press the TEMP DOWN button to a temp 5

degrees below the room temperature.

Allow the system 5 minutes to respond.

Verify that cool air is blowing from the system.

To check Fan: (If you connected the G wire - fan relay)

Switch the FAN switch to the ON position. Verify that air is blowing from

the system. Return to AUTO position for normal operation.

4 Before you Connect Wires

Caution

Do not allow wires to touch each other or parts on thermostat.

Wires must be routed through the hole in the back plate, below the

terminal block, or they will hit parts on the cover.

Please follow these guidelines for safe and secure wire connections.

Determine which step-by-step wiring diagram you should use. Make sure your

wires are labeled. This may require you to find the 'other end' connection for each

wire on your heating or air conditioning equipment and read the label there.

If you have a wire marked "C" its connection is optional. If you do connect it the

thermostat will draw power from the C wire and this will extend battery life.

Optional Wire Connections

5 What Wires Do You Have?

Strip insulation 3/8 in. (9.5mm) from wire ends.

Take care not to damage the labels for each wire in handling.

Connect labeled wires only to a terminal with corresponding letter.

Bend the wire slightly, insert the wire under the contact plate and

tighten the screw down onto the wire.
