Honeywell Q539A, H and J Subbases Installation Manual

Honeywell Q539A, H and J Subbases Application

Q539 Subbases provide cooling anticipators, and mounting for T87F Thermostats. Q539 Subbases also provide system and fan switching for heating, cooling, and heating-cooling thermostats. For subbase specifications, refer to Tables 1 and 2.

TABLE 1—SUBBASE SPECIFICATIONS.

Model Description	System Switch	Fan Switch	Terminals	See Fig.
Q539A provides system and fan switching and cooling anticipator for heating cooling systems. Includes indicator LOCKOUT LED for use in oil burner systems.	HEAT - OFF- COOL	AUTO-ON	RH-RC-W-Y-G-X	3
Q539H provides fan switching with Z terminal for low voltage fan switch to control fan in AUTO position.	NONE	AUTO-ON	R-W-Y-G-X-Z	4
Q539J provides system switching for control of heating and cooling for heat pump and electric heating. Auto fan operates through fan relay on both heating and cooling.	HEAT - OFF- COOL	AUTO-ON	R-W-Y-G-X-P-O-B	5

Honeywell Q539A MOUNTING AND WIRING

Disconnect power supply before beginning installation to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage. All wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances.

In replacement applications, check the existing subbase wires for cracked or frayed insulation. Replace any wires in poor condition. If the wire is plastered into the wall, make a hole next to the wires and loosen the wires so that the wires can be pushed back into the wall later.
In new installations, run wiring (if necessary) to the subbase location. IMPORTANT: To prevent interference with the thermostat linkage, keep wire length to a minimum and run wires as close as possible to the subbase.
Connect the wires to the terminals inside the subbase. Refer to equipment manufacturer instructions for Q539 wiring diagrams. If not available, refer to Fig. 1 through 5.
Push excess wire back through the hole and plug any opening with insulation to prevent drafts that can affect performance.
Loosely fasten the thermostat subbase to the wall with a screw through the left mounting hole. Adjust the subbase so it is approximately level and start the second screw through the right mounting slot. Do not tighten.
Level the thermostat subbase using a spirit level as shown in Fig. 1.
Tighten mounting screws. IMPORTANT: An incorrectly leveled subbase will cause the temperature control to deviate from setpoint.
Mount and wire the thermostat to the thermostat subbase using the equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
