NOTE:

 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 8029B 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.           

2) The 8029B 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.

NOTE:

Your thermostat comes from the factory calibrated to +/- 1

o

 of actual 

temperature.  It is an accurate instrument.  If you want your thermostat to display 
the same temperature as another thermometer in your home, you can adjust its 
calibration.  

To change the calibration:

Access the circuit board inside the thermostat.  
Locate the calibration switch and 
slide it to the 

ON

 position.  The 

current calibration of the 
thermostat will appear in the 
LCD display on the front.  
Push the UP or DOWN arrows 
until the desired temperature is 
reached.  
Slide the Calibration switch to 
the 

OFF

 position.  The new 

calibration will be saved.
