T841A

Heating-Cooling Therm ostats

INSTALLATION  INSTRUCTIONS

APPLICATION

The T841A Thermostats provide 24 Vac control of two- 
stage heating and one-stage cooling in heat pump 
systems using manual changeover.

The T841A provides EM.HT.-HEAT-OFF-COOL system 
switching and AUTO-ON  fan switching.

Test holes are provided on the front of the thermostat to 
accommodate test meter leads without removing the 
thermostat from the wall.  Remove the cover of the 
thermostat to expose test holes that are labeled to 
correspond with the terminals on the back of the thermostat.

OPERATION

The stages of heat 

make

 sequentially as the temperature 

drops.  Make refers to the mercury switch initiating a call for 

heat or cool.

There is about  1 °F (0.6°C) between stages so the second 
stage (auxiliary heat)  makes only when the first stage 
cannot handle the load. This 1°F is the 

interstage

 

differential.

The light emitting diode (LED)  indicators on certain 
thermostat models light when something specific happens

within the system. The AUX.  HT.  LED lights when auxiliary 

heat (second stage heat)  is operating due to extremely 

cold weather that requires additional heat to supplement 
the heat pump. When the red  EM.  HT.  LED lights, the 
emergency heat is operating (usually electric strip 

heaters),  because the homeowner has physically switched 

to the  EM.  HT.  position. When the red CHECK LED lights, 

it indicates that something needs to be done to maintain 

efficient system operation.  See heating/cooling 

manufacturer's instructions for specific meaning. When the 

yellow COMP.  FAULT LED lights, a compressor problem 

requires attention. When the yellow SERVICE  LED lights, 

see heating/cooling manufacturer's instructions for specific 

meaning.
