REMOVING OLD

THERMOSTAT

(See illustration under step

4 to help you recognize the
heat anticipator.) Make a note

Begin by turning off

power to the

heating/cooling system at

the main fuse panel. Most

residential systems have a
separate switch box or

circuit breaker for

disconnecting power to the

furnace.

Remove cover of old

thermostat—cover

normally snaps off when
pulled firmly from the

bottom. If it resists, check
for a screw that locks the

cover on.

For CT50A, CT51A,

or CT52A installation,

before removing the old
thermostat from the wall,

ook at it carefully to locate

the heat anticipator
adjustment mechanism.

step 4 to help you

recognize the heat

anticipator.) Make a note

anticipator setting for future

reference. The heat
anticipator pointer, if
adjustable, will be set at
one of a series of numbers
representing the (electrical)

current rating of the primary
control in your furnace. The
number will be one of the

following: .2, .4, .8, etc., or
0.2, 0.4, 0.8, etc. If no heat

anticipator/indication is

showing, do not be
concerned; move on to the
next step-

Loosen screws

base to subbase or wall,
and lift away.

or subbase, if your

thermostat has more than 2

wires, as you disconnect
each wire, tape the end and
label it with the letter of the

terminal designation to

make reconnection to new

thermostat easier. Take

care that these wires do not

fall back into the wall

opening.

Disconnect wires
