mounted system changeover switch. (Use Q539 Subbase 

for switching at thermostat location.)

To Replace a Series 10 Thermostat

To adapt the T87F to a series 10 three-wire heating system:

1.

Connect the wires from the thermostat (R and W) to the 

terminals on the three-wire primary (B and W). See Fig. 

11 and 12.

NOTES:

Some three-wire controls manufactured by other 

companies cannot be satisfactorily operated by a 

two-wire thermostat. 

Before connecting the T87F to a three-wire con-

trol, consult the manufacturer.

Some Honeywell series 10 relays require an R-B 

jumper (see Fig. 11). These relays are:

R114A,B

R125

R117

R187A1,A4

R116

R126

R178

R190B1,B8

R117

R161

R180

Relays or valves that do not require a jumper may 

retain a three-wire, low limit control as shown in 

Fig. 11. If the jumper is required, a two-wire con-

trol must be used.

A three-wire, open contact, high-limit control 

requires a jumper as shown in Fig. 12.

to a 2- or 3-wire low limit control.
