T8400C, T8401C and T8424C,D

Electronic Thermostats

APPLICATION

The T8400C and T8401C Standard Electronic Thermostats 

provide single-stage, non-programmable temperature control 

for 24V heating-cooling systems with manual changeover 
from heat to cool.

The T8424C Electronic Multistage Thermostat provides two-
stage heat and one-stage cool control.

The T8424D Electronic Multistage Thermostat provides two-
stage heat and two-stage cool control.

FEATURES

• Attractive styling complements any decor to the 

homeowner’s delight.

• Ease-of-use means fewer homeowner questions and 

increased homeowner satisfaction.

• Large display for quick easy readability.
• Conveniently sized 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 thermostat with 

optional decorator cover plates (3-7/8 in. x 3-7/8 in. and 

5-3/4 in. x 5-3/4 in.) makes it easy to install in a variety 
of locations.

• Keys are located for easy access.
• Fan and system switches are located on the lower 

edge to eliminate accidental setting changes.

• Easy installation, setup and self-test saves time and 

increases installer productivity.

• Manual changeover from heat to cool eliminates 

unexpected system operation.

• °F or °C temperature display for added model 

flexibility.

• Selectable heating cycle rate (1, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 9, 12 cph) 

for a variety of applications which reduces the amount 
of inventory. 

• Cooling cycle rate is fixed (3 cph), the standard setting 

for compressors, for speedy installation.

• Setpoints are permanently held in memory (no 

batteries used) and retained during power outages for 
increased installer and homeowner convenience.

• Power stealing and hard wired models available for 

virtually all equipment and application needs including
