CT500 Electronic Thermostat
Non-programmable Heat and/or Cool
Low Voltage (20 to 30 Vac) Thermostat and Wallplate
Model CT500
Congratulations on purchasing your new thermostat!
More than 100 years of engineering expertise enabled
this thermostat to provide you with a more comfortable
and convenient living environment.
Direct any questions about this thermostat to the
Honeywell Customer Relations Center at
www.honeywell.com/yourhome or 1-800-468-1502,
Monday - Friday, 7:00 am - 5:30 pm, Central time.
MERCURY NOTICE
If this control is replacing a control that contains
mercury in a sealed tube, do not place your old
control in the trash. Dispose of it properly.
Contact your local waste management authority
for instructions regarding recycling and the
proper disposal of an old control. If you have
questions, call Honeywell at 1-800-458-1502.
1 PREPARE FOR INSTALLATION
❑Check Table 1 to be sure this thermostat is compatible
with your system. If not, return it to the retailer. For
more information, call Honeywell at 1-800-468-1502.
❑Acquire tool and items as needed. See Fig. 1.

aNot compatible with millivolt systems.
bCompatible with 2-wire Honeywell zone valves. Isolating relay required for 3-wire thermostat zone valves.
2 REMOVE OLD THERMOSTAT
❑Test to be sure your heating and air conditioning
systems (where applicable) are working correctly. If
either does not work, contact you local heating/air
conditioning dealer. To avoid compressor damage, do
not operate the cooling system when outdoor
temperature is below 50°F (10°C).
CAUTION
Be careful when handling wires during
installation.
Damage to heating/cooling system possible.
Disconnect power at furnace or at main breaker/
fuse box before starting operation.
❑Carefully unpack your new thermostat, wallplate, and
decorator cover plate; save package of screws,
instructions and receipt.
❑Remove the cover from the old thermostat. If it does
not snap off when pulled firmly from the bottom, check
for a screw used to lock on the cover.
❑Loosen screws holding the thermostat to the subbase,
wallplate and wall, and lift away.
❑Disconnect wires from old thermostat or subbase. As
you disconnect each wire, use wire labels to identify
the old terminal designation. If there are only two
wires, they do not need labeling. Wrap wires around a
pencil to keep them from falling back into the wall as
shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 2. Wrapping wires around pencil.
Replacing Clock With C or C1 Clock
Terminals
If you are replacing a Honeywell Chronotherm®
Thermostat, you may find one or two wires that go to the
C or C1 clock terminals on the Chronotherm®
Thermostat wiring wallplate. Do not allow them to touch,
or you can damage your transformer. Disconnect the
wires and wrap them separately using electrical tape; do
not wrap them together. Place the wires to avoid
interfering with the new thermostat operation. Record the
colors and terminal designation labels of the remaining
wires.
Six or More Wires
If there are six or more wires connected to the thermostat
(excluding clock wires attached to terminals), you
probably have a variation of a multistage heat pump or
other multistage system. The thermostat is not
compatible with such systems, so return the product to
your retailer. For information about which programmable
thermostats work with your system, call the Honeywell
Customer Relations Center at 1-800-468-1502.

Three Thermostat Wires
If you have three wires for heating only and can operate
the fan using the Fan On switch, this thermostat works
with your system. However, some hot water (zoned)
heating systems have three thermostat wires. The
thermostat works only if you install an isolating relay on
these systems. For details, contact your local heating
and/or air conditioning contractor.
3 MOUNT WALLPLATE
IMPORTANT
Level for appearance only. The thermostat func-
tions normally, even when not mounted level.
❑Position the decorator cover plate and wallplate on
the wall. Level the wallplate for appearance, if
desired. Use a pencil to mark the two mounting holes
that best fit the application. See Fig. 3
Fig. 3. Mounting decorator cover plate and wallplate
to the wall.
❑Remove the decorator cover plate and wallplate from
the wall, and drill two 3/16-in. holes in the wall (if
drywall). For firmer wall material such as plaster or
wood, drill 7/32-in. holes. Gently tap provided anchors
into the drilled holes until flush with the wall.
❑Reposition the decorator cover plate and wallplate,
pulling wires through the wiring opening. Loosely
insert the mounting screws into the holes.
❑Level for appearance only; the thermostat functions
correctly, even when not level. Tighten the mounting
screws.
4 WIRE WALLPLATE TERMINALS
The CT500 Thermostat is powered through the heating/
cooling system and is adaptable to most 4-wire, 18 to 30
Vac heating-cooling systems. Refer to Fig. 4 and 5 for
typical system wiring diagrams.
Fig. 4. CT500 wiring diagram, 4-wire heat/cool
system.
Fig. 5. CT500 wiring diagram, 2-wire, heat-only
system.
IMPORTANT
Use 18-gauge maximum wire to wire the ther-
mostat.
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances. If unsure about household wiring
procedures, call your local heating and air conditioning
contractor.
Refer to the wiring labels you placed on the wires when
you removed your old thermostat.
❑Match the letter of your old thermostat wire with the
terminal of the corresponding letter on your new
thermostat. See Fig. 6.
NOTE: To ensure correct mounting of the thermostat,
restrict all wiring to the left side of the terminals.
❑Loosen the terminal screws and slip each wire
beneath its matching terminal. The shape of the
terminals permit insertion of straight or wraparound
connections. See Fig. 7. Tighten the terminals.
❑Plug the hole in the wall with insulation to help prevent
drafts from adversely affecting thermostat operation.

Fan Switch
❑The Fan switch settings are:
On: The fan runs continuously. Use for improved air
circulation. (Recommended position with whole-house
air cleaners.)
Auto: Normal setting for most homes. In cooling, the
fan starts and stops with the cooling equipment. In
heating, the fan is controlled directly by the heating
equipment and starts a few minutes after the heating
equipment turns on.
Slide the switch on the thermostat to the desired fan
setting.
System Switch
❑The System switch settings control thermostat
operation as follows:
Cool: The thermostat controls the cooling system.
Off: Both heating and cooling are off.
Heat: The thermostat controls the heating system.
❑Slide the System switch on the thermostat to the
desired system setting.
8 CHECK OPERATION AFTER
INSTALLATION/PROGRAMMING
Heating System
❑Slide the System switch to Heat and the Fan switch to
Auto.
❑Press and hold the ▲ key to raise the temperature

CAUTION
Compressor Damage Hazard.
Operating at too low of an outdoor
temperature can cause compressor damage.
Do not operate cooling system when outdoor
temperature is below 50°F (10°C).
IMPORTANT
Temporary protection delay protects compres-
sor; the thermostat allows the compressor to
remain off for five minutes before restarting.
❑Slide the System switch to Cool and the Fan switch to
Auto.
❑Press the▼ key to lower the temperature setting
several degrees below the room temperature to start
the cooling equipment.
