Optional Cover Plate Installation

NOTE:
If Optional Cover Plate is not required, see “UWP Mounting System installation” on next page.
Use the Optional Cover Plate when:

• Mounting the thermostat to an electrical junction box
  
• Or when you need to cover paint gap from old thermostat.

1. Before starting, turn the power off at the breaker box or switch. Separate the Junction Box Adapter from the Cover Plate. See Figure 1.
   
2. Mount the Junction Box Adapter to the wall or an electrical box using any of the eight screw holes. Insert and tighten the mounting screws supplied with Cover Plate Kit. Do not over-tighten. See Figure 2. Make sure the Adapter Plate is level.
   
3. Attach the UWP by hanging it on the top hook of the Junction Box Adapter and then snapping the bottom of the UWP in place. See Figure 3.
   
4. Snap the Cover Plate onto the Junction Box Adapter. See Figure 4.

UWP Mounting System Installation

1. Before starting, turn the power off at the breaker box or switch. Open the package to find the UWP. See Figure 5.
   
2. Position the UWP on wall. Level and mark hole positions. See Figure 6. Drill holes at marked positions, and then lightly tap supplied wall anchors into the wall using a hammer. ‒ Drill 7/32” holes for drywall.
   
3. Pull the door open and insert the wires through the wiring hole of the UWP. See Figure 7.
   
4. Place the UWP over the wall anchors. Insert and tighten mounting screws supplied with the UWP. Do not over tighten. Tighten until the UWP no longer moves. Close the door. See Figure 8.

Power options

Setting Slider Tabs (built-in jumper)

Set R Slider Tab.

• Use built-in jumper (R Slider Tab) to differentiate between one or two transformer systems.
  
• If there is only one R wire, and it is connected to the R, Rc, or RH terminal, set the slider to the up position (1 wire).
  
• If there is one wire connected to the R terminal and one wire connected to the Rc terminal, set the slider to the down position (2 wires).
  NOTE: Slider Tabs for U terminals should be left in place for T4 Pro models. 

UWP Wiring terminal designations 

* Terminal can be jumped using Slider Tab. See “Setting Slider Tabs” above.
** The THP9045A1023 Wire Saver Module is used on heat/cool systems when you only have four wires at the thermostat, and you need a fifth wire for a common wire. Use the K terminal in place of the Y and G terminals on conventional or heat pump systems to provide control of the fan and the compressor through a single wire—the unused wire then becomes your common wire. See THP9045 instructions for more information.

220	Cool Stages / Compressor Stages 200=Conv / 200=HP	0, 1 Note: Select how many Cool or Compressor stages of your equipment the thermostat will control. Set value to 0 if you do not have Cool Stage/ Compressor Stage.
221	Heat Stages / Backup Heat Stages	1 Note: Select how many Heat or Aux/E stages of your equipment the thermostat will control.
230	Fan Control in Heat	1 = Equipment Controls Fan 2 = Thermostat Controls Fan Note: This ISU is only displayed if ISU 205 is set to Electric Forced Air or Fan Coil.
300	System Changeover	0 = Manual 1 = Automatic Note: Thermostat can automatically control both heating and cooling to maintain the desired indoor temperature. To be able to select “automatic” system mode on thermostat home screen, turn this feature ON. Turn OFF if you want to control heating or cooling manually.
303	Auto Changeover Differential	0 °F to 5 °F 0.0 °C to 2.5 °C Note: Differential is NOT deadband. Differential means how far past the setpoint before switching to the mode selected. Deadband setup is not an option. Honeywell uses an advanced algorithm that fixes deadband at 0 °F. This is more advanced than previous thermostats.
365	Compressor Cycle Rate (Stage 1)	1 – 6 Note: This ISU is only displayed when Cool /Compressor Stage is set to 1 stage. Cycle rate limits the maximum number of times the system can cycle in a 1 hour period measured at a 50% load. For example, when set to 3 CPH, at a 50% load, the most the system will cycle is 3 times per hour (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off). The system cycles less often when load conditions are less than or greater than a 50% load.
370	Heating Cycle Rate (Stage 1)	1 – 12 Note: This ISU is only displayed when Heat Stage is set to 1 stage. Cycle rate limits the maximum number of times the system can cycle in a 1 hour period measured at a 50% load. For example, when set to 3 CPH, at a 50% load, the most the system will cycle is 3 times per hour (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off). The system cycles less often when load conditions are less than or greater than a 50% load. The recommended (default) cycle rate settings are below for each heating equipment type: Standard Efficiency Gas Forced Air = 5 CPH; High Efficiency Gas Forced Air = 3 CPH; Oil Forced Air = 5 CPH; Electric Forced Air = 9 CPH; Fan Coil = 3 CPH; Hot Water Radiant Heat = 3 CPH; Steam = 1 CPH.
370	Heating Cycle Rate Auxiliary Heat	1 – 12
387	Compressor Protection	0 = Off 1 – 5 minutes Note: The thermostat has a built in compressor protection (minimum off timer) that prevents the compressor from restarting too early after a shutdown. The minimum-off timer is activated after the compressor turns off. If there is a call during the minimum-off timer, the thermostat shows “Wait” in the display. This ISU is displayed if ISU 220 is set to at least 1 stage.
425	Adaptive Intelligent Recovery	0 = No 1 = Yes Note: Adaptive Intelligent Recovery (AIR) is a comfort setting. Heating or cooling equipment will turn on earlier, ensuring the indoor temperature will match the setpoint at the scheduled time.
430	Minimum Cool Setpoint	50 °F to 99 °F (50 °F) 10.0 °C to 37.0 °C (10.0 °C) Note: The cool temperature cannot be set below this level.
431	Maximum Heat Setpoint	40 °F to 90 °F (90 °F) 4.5 °C to 32.0 °C (32 °C) Note: The heat temperature cannot be set above this level.
