Important Safety Information Warning:

•Always turn off power at the main power source by unscrewing

fuse or switching circuit breaker to the off position before installing,

removing, cleaning, or servicing thermostat.

•Read all of the information in this manual before installing or

programming this thermostat.

•This is a 24V AC low-voltage thermostat. Do not install on voltages

higher than 30V AC.

•All wiring must conform to local and national building and electrical

codes and ordinances.

•Do not short (jumper) across terminals on the gas valve or at the

system control to test installation. This will damage the thermostat

and void the warranty.

5. Remove existing thermostat base from wall.

6. Refer to the following section for instructions on how to

install thermostat.

FIGURE 1

Installing the Model 8355 Thermostat

NOTE: For new installations, mount thermostat on inside wall, 4-5 feet

above the floor. Do not install behind a door, in a corner, near air vents, in

direct sunlight, or near any heat or steam generating fixtures. Installation

at these places will affect thermostat operation.

IMPORTANT: This thermostat is compatible with 100% lockout systems. To

reset the system, turn thermostat to OFF position for at least 60 seconds.

1. Turn power off to the heating and cooling systems.

2. Place COOL-OFF-HEAT-EM in OFF position.

3. Place FAN: AUTO-ON switch

into AUTO position.

4. Remove the cover using a coin

or screwdriver.

FIGURE 2

5. Place thermostat against the wall at desired location. Make sure

wires will feed through opening on base of thermostat.

6. Mark placement of mounting holes. See Fig. 3. Set base aside.

Energy Efficient Recovery

The energy efficient recovery feature looks ahead up to 2 hours prior to the

end of the setback (or set-up) period to begin monitoring performance and

calculating when to turn on your system. It also determines whether the aux-

iliary heat or cool stages should be activated prior to setpoint time to meet

your chosen setpoint temperature. The thermostat will indicate “EER” in the

display when this program feature is active. The energy efficient recovery

feature will lockout the auxiliary stages until 20 minutes prior to upcoming

setpoint time to utilize the most energy efficient first stage. The auxiliary

stages of heating and cooling will be available during this lock-out period

to maintain the setpoint temperature should the system not be able to

keep up with the heating or cooling demand.

Simple Programming Mode

1. Place COOL-OFF-HEAT-EM

in COOL or HEAT position.

2. Press & Hold SET. Press the button.

Release simultaneously.

3. The MORN indicator should be blinking. Program the Time-of-Day and

NOTE: While in the Cool or Heat mode, once the thermostat turns the system

off, a built-in delay keeps the compressor from turning on for about 5 minutes.

This protects the compressor. No additional time delay relay (delay on break)

is necessary.

To Test Thermostat

WARNING: DO NOT SHORT (JUMPER) ACROSS TERMINALS OF GAS

VALVE OR SYSTEM CONTROL TO TEST OPERATION. THIS WILL DAMAGE

THE THERMOSTAT AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

CAUTION: Do not switch system to cool if the temperature is below

50°F (10°C). This can damage the air conditioning system and cause

personal injury.

1. Place the COOL-OFF-HEAT-EM

switch into the COOL position

2. Press the button until the temperature

setting is at least 3 degrees below the room temperature. The air

conditioning system should turn on within a few seconds.

NOTE: While in the Cool or Heat mode once the thermostat turns the system

off, a built-in delay keeps the compressor from turning on for about 5 minutes.

This protects the compressor. No additional time delay relay (delay on break)

is necessary.

3. Put the COOL-OFF-HEAT-EM switch into

the OFF position. The air conditioning

system should turn off. The fan may

continue to run for a short period of time.

4. Put the COOL-OFF-HEAT-EM switch

into the HEAT position.

5. Press the button until the temperature setting is at least

3 degrees above room temperature. The heating system should turn

on. The fan may not turn on immediately, depending upon the fan

delay built into the furnace.

6. Put the COOL-OFF-HEAT-EM switch

into the OFF position. The heating

system should turn off. Once again,

the fan may have a delay.

7. Put the FAN: AUTO-ON switch

to the ON position. The blower

fan should turn on.

8. Put the FAN: AUTO-ON switch

to the AUTO position. The blower

fan should turn off.

LED Indicators

The LED indicators are used to indicate system activity. The AUX indicator

illuminates during a call for second stage heating. The auxiliary stages are

used to maintain comfort during extremes in weather conditions. If the

AUX LED is illuminated too frequently during periods of moderate temper-

ature, check the differential settings (page 5).

The CHECK indicator is used to monitor system status. If the CHECK

indicator is illuminated, call your local HVAC service provider.

The EMER indicator is illuminated only when the system switch is moved

to the EM, emergency heat position. The EM position is only used when

the primary stage of heat is not functioning or requires service.

Troubleshooting

SYMPTOM REMEDY

Thermostat does not turn

on system.

Check Wiring

(see INSTALLATION).

Check fuse. Replace with 3 amp

fuse if fuse has opened. Five

minute compressor short cycle

protection may be in effect. Press

RESET to override. NOTE: This will

erase programming.

Thermostat turns on and off too

frequently.

Increase Temperature Differential

(see PROGRAMMING).

Display is blank, flashing or

constant "LO BAT."

Replace batteries.

Time shown on display is not the

current time of day.

Change time of day setting

(see PROGRAMMING).

Thermostat does not follow

program.

Thermostat in MANUAL mode

(see PROGRAMMING).

Thermostat may not have been

programmed in HEAT or COOL

position. Verify program.

Check AM/PM indicators at time

of day and programmed time

changes (see PROGRAMMING).

Verify program and day of week

is correct (see PROGRAMMING).

Thermostat does not advance day

of week.

To view or change day of week

use method on page 5.
