Your Honeywell Thermostat
WARNING
Your new Honeywell CT62 Electric Heating Thermostat
provides line voltage control of a radiant cable, electric
baseboard, and resistive-rated fan forced heaters within
the ratings listed above.
This thermostat is a line voltage control (120 Volts to
240 Volts.) Do not install it if you are not completely
familiar with house wiring. If handled improperly,
there can be risk of a 120 Volt to 240 Volt electric
shock hazard, which may cause serious injury or
death.

PREPARATION
Carefully unpack your new thermostat. To avoid
damage to the sensing element, do NOT remove
the thermostat cover until wiring has been completed.
Proper installation of your Honeywell thermostat will
occur if you follow these instructions STEP-BY-
STEP. It is recommended that as you read, understand
and complete each step, you check ꢀ it off with pencil or
pen.
Save packages of screws, instructions, receipt and
proof-of-purchase.
Check thermostat suitability for your home’s system
by reviewing the ratings listed above.
Make certain that your heating system is working,
especially if it has been inoperative for a length of
time. If the system does not work, contact your local
electrician for assistance.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Your Honeywell thermostat requires little or no attention. Most problems can generally be traced to the following:
Symptom
No heat.
Checkout
Action
Make sure power is on at
main service panel. Turn
the temperature setting
knob fully clockwise
Heater should start to warm up within two minutes. If not,
contact qualified electrician to check thermostat and heater.
.
Improper connections to
thermostat.
With power to circuit OFF, tighten all wiring connections. Repair
any frayed or broken wires.
Other.
Contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
Heater never turns
off.
Turn temperature setting
knob fully
Heater should start to cool within minutes. If not, turn off power
at the main service panel, and contact qualified electrician.
counterclockwise
.
Thermostat setting
and thermometer
reading disagree.
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
wall.
Thermometer is out of
calibration.
Recalibrate. See step 8.
The heat from your hand will affect the diaphragm
sensor. Replace thermostat cover, wait five minutes
and recheck calibration.

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:
THERMOSTAT
BASE
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.

AT 12 O'CLOCK
POSITION
Recalibration Procedure
Note the temperature difference between the
temperature setting and the thermometer.
SCALE RING
Remove the thermostat cover.
Rotate setting knob clockwise

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
