MERCURY NOTICE

If you are removing an old thermostat that contains mercury in a sealed tube

(Fig. 1), do not place the old thermostat in the trash. Contact your local waste

management authority for instructions regarding recycling and the proper

disposal of the old thermostat.

INSTALLATION

Verify You Have Correct Thermostat

Make sure that the CT3300 is the correct thermostat for your heating/cooling system. Read the compatibility chart

below to determine which system you have. If your system is not compatible with the CT3300, the table recommends

an alternate Honeywell model. If you are unsure what type of thermostat is right for your system, visit us on the Web at

www.honeywell.com/yourhome or call Honeywell Customer Care at 1-800-468-1502.

Step 2. Remove Old Thermostat

Fig. 2. a. Turn off power to the heating/cooling system, either at the furnace or

at the fuse/circuit breaker panel.

b. Remove the cover of your old thermostat (Fig. 2).

c. Unscrew and remove the old thermostat’s mounting plate from the

wall, but do not disconnect the wires.

d. Inspect the old thermostat wiring. If wiring meets any of the follow-

ing conditions, see special wiring instructions section after Step

Fig. 3. • The old thermostat is a clock thermostat with wires attached to

the C or C1 terminals.

• The old thermostat has six or more wires, excluding wires

attached to C or C1 terminals.

• The old thermostat has three wires.

• There are five wires connected to the old thermostat.

• There are extra wires that are not connected to the old

thermostat.

e. Using enclosed labels, mark wires with letter of terminal it is attached

to on the old thermostat (Fig. 3). Do not label using colors. If labels

do not match letters on old thermostat terminals, see wiring cross ref-

erence table in Special Wiring Instructions section.

Fig. 4. f. Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat and wrap the wires

around a pencil to keep them from falling back into the wall.

NOTE: Remember, if your old thermostat contains mercury, you

must recycle it. See Mercury Notice for more recycling

information.

Step 3. Install Mounting Plate

Fig. 5. a. Separate the mounting plate from the thermostat using a coin, as

shown in Fig 5.

b. Position the mounting plate on the wall. Be sure the mounting plate is

flush against the wall and none of the wires are trapped behind it.

c. Level the mounting plate and use a pencil to mark the center of the

mounting plate screw holes.

d. Remove the mounting plate and drill holes at the locations marked.

• For drywall, drill two 3/16-inch holes.

• For plaster or wood, drill two 7/32-inch holes.

Fig. 6. e. If installing in drywall, gently tap the anchors (provided) into the drilled

holes until they are flush with the wall.

f. Reposition the mounting plate over the holes, pull the wires through

the wiring opening, and loosely insert the mounting screws into each

of the drilled holes or anchors (Fig. 6).

g. Make sure the mounting plate is level and tighten the mounting

screws.

The mounting plate is now mounted on the wall and should look like

Fig. 7.

Step 4. Set Thermostat for Your Type of Heating System

IMPORTANT:

Setting your thermostat correctly for your

type of heating system allows it to maintain

accurate temperature control, minimize

swings in the temperature of the room, and

efficiently run the fan.

a. Use the FUEL SWITCH on the back of

the thermostat to set your new thermostat

for the type of fuel that your heating system

uses: F–gas or oil, or E–electric.

NOTE: This setting enables correct fan

operation.

b. Use DIP switches 1 and 2 on the back of

the thermostat to set your new thermostat

for your type of heating system. See the

Heating System Table on the next page to

find the correct settings.

NOTE: These DIP switches are factory-set for a warm air, gas, or oil heating system.

c. The thermostat is set to display the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F). If you want to display the temperature

in degrees Celsius (°C), turn DIP Switch 3 to Off position.

d. You can install the batteries and program your thermostat now, or you can wait until the thermostat is mounted on

the wall. To install the batteries, see Step 7. To program the thermostat, see the Programming section.

Fig. 9. a. Hold thermostat as shown in Fig. 9.

b. Using the labels on the wires, match letter of your old thermostat wire

with the corresponding terminal on the back of your new thermostat.

NOTE: If letters on old thermostat terminals do not match letters on

new thermostat terminals, all old wires may not need connect-

ing to new thermostat. See Special Wiring Instructions section.

Fig. 10. c. Loosen terminal screws and slip each wire beneath its matching

terminal (Fig 10).

d. Securely tighten terminals.

Step 6. Mount Thermostat

Step 7. Install the batteries

Fig. 11. Fig. 12. e. Align the tabs at the top of the thermostat with the

tabs at the top of the mounting plate (Fig. 11).

f. Press the lower edge of the case to latch the

bottom of the thermostat (Fig. 12)

Fig. 13.

Fig. 14.

IMPORTANT:

Batteries must be installed for programming and operation of

the thermostat and heating/cooling system. Honeywell

recommends using Energizer® batteries.

a. Make sure that the System switch is set in the Off position.

b. Using a coin, open the battery door as shown in Fig. 13.

c. Install the batteries. Make sure that the positive and negative termi-

nals are oriented correctly as marked inside the battery case.

d. Replace the battery door.

e. Remove the clear plastic label from the digital display.

✓Check your progress

When the batteries are installed correctly, the digital display flashes all

entries once, then begins to flash a default time and the current

temperature (Fig. 14). The flashing continues until you begin to program

the thermostat. You are now ready to program the thermostat. See

Programming section.

Special Wiring Instructions

Clock thermostat with C or C1 terminals

A clock thermostat has one or two extra wires attached to C or C1 terminals for clock operation that are not used when

installating your thermostat. They must be insulated from each other to avoid damaging your electrical circuit.

a. Make sure that power to the heating/cooling system is turned off.

b. Locate wires that are connected to clock terminals marked C or C1.

c. As you disconnect the wires, do not allow these wires to touch.

d. Wrap wires separately, using electrical tape to insulate the wires.

e. Place wires to avoid interfering with new thermostat operation. They are not used with your 3300 Thermostat.

f. Continue with the installation.

Six or more wires

If old thermostat has six or more wires (excluding clock wires attached to C or C1 terminals), your heating/cooling

system is a variation of a heat pump or multistage system. See thermostat compatibility table located before

Step 1. Your 3300 Thermostat does not work with such systems and should be returned to the place of purchase.

Three thermostat wires

If you have three wires for heating only and can operate the fan using Fan On switch, the 3300 Thermostat works with

your system. Continue installation procedure. If you have three-wire heating-only system and cannot operate fan using

Fan On switch, the 3300 Thermostat does not work with your system. Contact your heating contractor for installation.

Wires that are not connected to old thermostat

For extra wires that do not connect to your old thermostat, do not label them or connect these wires. Tape them with

electrical tape and place them to avoid interfering with operation of new thermostat. Continue installation procedure.

Five wires connected to old thermostat

Your new thermostat has a factory-installed metal

jumper between the R and Rc terminals (Fig. 15).

Remove jumper before wiring R and Rc terminals.
