The 8050C can be used with most 24-volt gas, oil or electric heating and air
conditioning systems, all heat pumps, and gas millivolt heating systems. It cannot be
used with 120 volt heating systems. Ask The Home Depot for other thermostats
to control line voltage systems.
The 8050C is programmable. There are 4 programming periods per day. Each period
can be programmed separately.
You can use the built-in time/temperature programs, or alter
them to suit your schedule. The 8050C separately programs
each day of the week for both heating and cooling. You can
easily override the programmed temperatures for as little as one
programming period or up to an entire vacation.
The large backlit liquid crystal display shows time, day of the week, room and set
temperatures. It will also remind you when the filter should be changed in your blower.
Temperature swing adjustment lets you fine-tune your system for maximum comfort
and energy efficiency.
A 5-minute minimum off time protects your compressor system from being damaged.
Two "AA" batteries are used to retain your time and temperature programs and to run
the thermostat.
