Honeywell Y8196A Installation Manual
Check thermostat and subbase suitability for the heating, cooling, or heating/cooling system. Refer to Table 1. Assemble tools required: flat bladed screwdriver, hand or power drill with 3/16-in. drill bit, wire cutter/stripper or sharp knife, bubble level or plumb bob and line.
Assure power is off to the heating, cooling, or heating/ cooling system at the main fuse panel. Most buildings have a separate switch box or circuit breaker for disconnecting power to the heating and cooling (if applicable) equipment. This thermostat is compatible with virtually all heating, cooling or heating/cooling systems. Refer to Table 1 for additional thermostat compatibility information.

a If thermostat is not compatible with the system being controlled, the system will not operate. No hazard exists. The thermostat will not be damaged unless it is used to directly control a line voltage system. A Honeywell R841 or R8239D1015 Isolating Relay must be added to the thermostat control circuit for proper system operation.
b Consult manufacturer for installation requirements.
Honeywell Y8196A Installation
WHEN INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT…
- Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them could cause a hazardous condition.
- Installer must be a trained experienced service technician.
- After installation is complete, check out product operation as provided in these instructions.
IMPORTANT: An incorrectly leveled subbase will cause the temperature control to deviate from setpoint. It is not a calibration problem.
LOCATION
Locate thermostat about 5 ft (1.5m) above the floor in an area with good air circulation at average temperature. Do not mount the thermostat where it may be affected by—
- —drafts, or dead spots behind doors and in corners.
- —hot or cold air from ducts.
- —radiant heat from the sun or appliances.
- —concealed pipes and chimneys.
- —unheated (uncooled) areas such as an outside wall behind the thermostat.
Run wires from the heating, cooling, or heating/cooling equipment to the new thermostat location.
