The TE8001 is an electronic non-programmable thermostat. It is designed to work with most
standard single stage heating and/or single stage cooling systems. These include single or dual
transformer 24 VAC gas, oil or electric heating, and 24 VAC cooling systems. This thermostat
is also compatible with single stage heat pumps.
The TE8001 is designed to operate entirely on two AAA alkaline batteries, or 24 volts from the
heating/cooling system’s transformer, using the batteries only for memory back up.

Installation:
Important: Read the entire instructions before beginning installation. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
Location:
The thermostat should be mounted 4 to 5 feet above the floor in a location where it will be
exposed to average room temperature. The thermostat must not be mounted where it will be
effected by a source of heat such as lamps, sunlight, fireplaces, pipes, registers, etc..., or
sources of cold such as windows, doors, drafts, etc... The thermostat must not be mounted on
an exterior wall, behind a door, or in an alcove. Such locations will inhibit the thermostat’s
ability to accurately control room temperature
Removing existing thermostat:
Caution:
Power must be disconnected before removing existing wiring connections from thermostat to
prevent possible electrical shock and/or equipment damage. All wiring must conform to local
and national electrical codes and regulations.
1: Remove existing wiring by writing down each of the wire’s colors and the designation of the
terminals that they are connected to. If more than one wire has the same color, tag the wire
with some form of identification.
2: Remove wires from thermostat.
Mounting:
This thermostat may be mounted directly to the wall, by using the mounting screws supplied.
Remove base from front section, by opening battery door, remove batteries. Pull case apart.
To mount directly to a wall use holes located in top and bottom of case.
Pull wires through hole in center of case.
Do not depend upon the thermostat as the sole means
of disconnecting power when installing or servicing the product it is
controlling. Always disconnect power at the main circuit breaker as
described above. Failure to do so may result in fatal electric shock.

Diagram 3: Single Stage Heat Pump
1: Connect the transformer hot wire to the RC terminal.
2: Connect jumper between RC and RH terminals
3: Connect compressor to the Y terminal.
4: Connect jumper wire between the Y and W terminals.
5: Connect Fan to G terminal
6: Connect reversing valve to O terminals if reversing valve is activated in the
cool mode (most common), or to the B terminal if reversing valve is to be acti-
vated in the heating model.
7: Connect transformer common wire to C terminal (optional) if you wish thermo-
stat to be powered from the transformer. Without this connection, thermostat will
be powered from AAA batteries.

Installing Thermostat onto base:
Once the wires have been connected to the base, and the options selected, it is
time to install thermostat onto the base. Close the battery compartment door. Do
not install batteries yet. Align the thermostat with base, and push together. Open
battery door and install batteries.
Operation:
1: Select Heat or Cool with Heat/Off/Cool Switch:
2: The display will indicate current room temperature, and display a flame if the
heat mode has been selected or a snow flake if the cool mode has been selected.
3: Press up or down arrow to set desired temperature. “SET TEMP” will appear in
the display to indicate you are setting the temperature.
4: Whenever the thermostat is activating the heating or cooling system, the word
“ON” will appear in the display.
5: Whenever you change modes (from heat to cool or cool to heat), the
thermostat will remember the last temperature set in that mode. The heat setting
and cooling setting do not have to be the same.
