! WARNING:
· Always turn off power at main fuse or circuit breaker panel before installing, removing, cleaning, or servicing thermostat.
· Read all the information in this manual before installing this thermostat.
· DO NOT CONNECT TO 120 VAC. This is a 24 VAC low-voltage thermostat. Do not install on voltages higher than 30 VAC.
· 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.
· Do not connect ground to any terminal in this unit.
Recycling Thermostat
If this thermostat REPLACES a thermostat that contains mercury, DO NOT discard the old thermostat in the regular trash. Mercury is harmful to humans and the environment. For this reason, do not open, break, or crush the mercury cell. If mercury leaks from a damaged cell, DO NOT touch or handle mercury with bare hands. Use protective, non-absorbent gloves to place mercury into a sealable container. Fill the container with sand or another absorbent material and seal the container completely.
Return the mercury or mercury products, in a sealed container, to Invensys Controls Americas or a local recycling center for proper disposal. If you have any questions, call Robertshaw technical support at 1-800-445-8299.

! WARNING:
In heat pump applications, do not connect anything to the W1 terminal. When switched to HP mode, W1 is connected internally to Y1 on the thermostat. 1. Turn off power to heating and cooling system.
2. Remove cover from old thermostat to expose wires (Figure 1).
3. Disconnect wires one at a time from existing terminals. Use enclosed labels to mark existing wires. Refer to cross references in the Wiring Table if existing wiring does not directly match the labels.
4. Remove existing thermostat base from wall.

Figure 1
Step 2: Installing Model 8425 Thermostat
NOTE: FOR NEW INSTALLATIONS, MOUNT THERMOSTAT ON INSIDE WALL, FIVE 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 LOCATIONS WILL AFFECT THERMOSTAT OPERATION.
1. Turn power off to the heating and cooling systems.
2. Place EMER-HEAT-OFF-COOL in OFF position (Figure 2).
3. Place AUTO-ON switch into AUTO position (Figure 2).

7. If mounting on drywall, tap plastic anchors into wall. NOTE: Enclosed plastic anchors do not require a drilled hole for drywall.
8. If mounting on a surface other than drywall, drill the marked holes using a 3/16" (5mm) drill bit.
9. Align base with plastic anchors and feed wires through opening.
10. Secure base to wall with supplied screws. NOTE: The thermostat will mount horizontally on a single gang junction box.
11. Strip end of wires 5/16" (8mm) if needed.
12. Terminal screws are already loose and ready for wire insertion. Insert wires into terminal strip (Figure 4) matching the label to the corresponding terminal (see Wiring Diagrams). Tighten screws.
13. Make sure wire connections are secure.
14. Push excess wire back through opening.

Step 3: Testing the 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 OR LEAVE IN COOL MODE IF THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50°F (10°C). THIS CAN DAMAGE THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.

1. Place the EMER-HEAT-OFF-COOL switch into the COOL position. The will be displayed.

2. Press the button until the temperature

emer heat off cool

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

conditioning system should turn on within a

few seconds.

NOTE: ONCE THE THERMOSTAT TURNS OFF WHEN IN THE COOL MODE, A BUILT IN 5-MINUTE DELAY PREVENTS THE SYSTEM FROM TURNING ON AGAIN. THIS PROTECTS THE COMPRESSOR. NO ADDITIONAL TIME DELAY RELAY IS REQUIRED. TO OVERRIDE THE 5-MINUTE DELAY FOR INSTALLATION, PRESS THE RESET BUTTON.
3. Put the EMER-HEAT-OFF-COOL switch into the OFF position. The air conditioning system should turn off. emer heat off cool

4. Put the EMER-HEAT-OFF-COOL switch into the HEAT position. The will be displayed.

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 on the fan delay built into

the furnace.

NOTE: If HP is selected, the heat will not come on until the 5 minute short cycle protection has expired.

6. Put the EMER-HEAT-OFF-COOL switch into the EMER position. The will be displayed.

7. Press the button until the temperature emer heat off cool setting is at least 3 degrees above room temperature. The secondary heating system should turn on. NOTE: The compressor will not turn when in emergency heat mode.

8. Put the EMER-HEAT-OFF-COOL switch into the

OFF position. The heating system should turn off. The fan may continue to run for a short

Step 4: Customizing the Thermostat
 Settings
System Cool: The thermostat controls the cooling. Off: The heating and cooling systems are off. Heat: The thermostat controls the heat. Emer:The thermostat controls the second stage emergency heat. Use only when the primary stage of heat is not functioning or requires service. The display will show CHECK HP when the heat pump requires service. Fan Auto: Equipment controls the fan. On: The fan operates continuously.
 Temperature Differential
The temperature differential for 1st stage is factory set at 1.0°F (.5°C). This means that whenever the room temperature changes by one degree Fahrenheit from the temperature setting, the system will turn on. If the system turns on too often, increase the temperature differential. NOTE: The temperature differential for 2nd stage is factory set at
2.0°F (1.0°C)
 Changing Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C), the Temperature Differential, and the Filter Monitor
1. The thermostat is preset to display the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (US models) or degrees Celsius (Canadian models). The temperature display can be changed. Press and hold both the and buttons for three seconds. The display will flash either an F or C. Release buttons. Press the or button to switch the display.
2. Wait five seconds or press and the display will switch to the differential setting for 1st stage heating and cooling.
3. The display will read diFF. Press the or button to adjust the differential up or down.
4. Wait five seconds or press and the display will switch to the differential setting for 2nd stage heating and cooling.
5. The display will read diF2. Press the or button to adjust the differential up or down.
6. Wait five seconds or press and the display will switch to the differential delay.
7. The display will read dLY2. The differential delay is the length of time (in minutes) from when the 1st stage engages, until the 2nd stage engages to assist in heating or cooling. Press the or button to adjust the delay up or down. 9

8. Wait five seconds or press and the display will switch to the filter monitor setting.
9. CHECK FILTER and the length of hours for the filter monitor will be displayed.
10. Use the or to adjust the filter timer from 0 (OFF) to 9900 hours. NOTE: The filter timer is based on equipment run time. Select the length of time based on the recommended service interval for your filter.
11. Press the to return to normal operation.
 Check Filter Reset
Once the filter timer has expired, CHECK FILTER will turn on and stay on. To clear the message and reset the timer: 1. Press the and buttons and
hold for 3 seconds. CLr will appear in the time display. 2. Press any key to clear the message. The display will transition to the temperature scale display as described in the previous section. 3. No further input is needed. Within a few seconds, the display will return to the normal operating mode.
 Backlit Display
This thermostat is equipped with a backlight to make night time temperature adjustments quick and easy. Press the button to activate the backlight. The backlight will turn off after about 10 seconds of inactivity.
 Reset
To reset the thermostat press the RESET button located above the upper left corner of the display.
