Thermostat affected by
drafts or radiant heat.
Contact electrician to change the location. The thermostat
should be about 5 ft (1.5m) above the floor and on an inside

Check Calibration
Turn the setting knob clockwise until the switch
makes (clicking sound). The heating equipment and
fan start.
No recalibration is necessary if the thermostat switch
makes with the thermostat setting at the same
temperature as indicated on the thermometer.
If the thermostat setting differs from the thermom-
eter, record the temperature difference and
recalibrate as instructed in the Recalibration Procedure
section.
Recalibration Procedure
Note the temperature difference between the
temperature setting and the thermometer.
Remove the thermostat cover.
Rotate setting knob clockwise
until you hear
switch click.
Hold the setting knob firmly and rotate the set point
scale ring counterclockwise
until the
12 o'clock position of the ring agrees with the cover
thermometer.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Your Honeywell thermostat requires little or no attention. Most problems can generally be traced to the following:

CALIBRATION
The CT62 Thermostats are calibrated at the factory using
precise instruments under closely controlled conditions.
Recalibration should not be necessary. Allow the thermo-
stat to operate for several hours before checking the
calibration. The CT62 Thermostat vapor-filled dual
diaphragm sensing element is affected by barometric
pressure and altitude. Temperature deviations of 1
°
F
(0.5
°
C) are normal. If the thermostat is mounted in a
suitable location and still appears out of calibration, check
calibration as follows:

The heat from your hand will affect the diaphragm
sensor. Replace thermostat cover, wait five minutes
and recheck calibration.
