Personal Injury Hazard.
Power supply can cause electrical shock.
Disconnect power supply before beginning
installation.
The following mounting instructions are for mounting
the H8908 on the wall next to the T8600. When install-
ing the H8908 at another location, modify the procedure
to fit the installation.
Location and Mounting
1. Hold the mounting template (included) next to the
T8600. Select the mounting side for the H8908.
The template is reversible for mounting on either
the left or right side of the T8600. See Fig. 2.
2. Mark the holes for the two mounting screws
(included). Then mark the hole for the low voltage
wiring on the template that corresponds with the
side selected in step 1.
The styling of the H8908 is designed to blend with the
latest T8600 family of Honeywell Chronotherm® IV
Deluxe Programmable Thermostats. A mounting tem-
plate is included for mounting the H8908 next to the
T8600. The H8908 can also be mounted at any other
convenient location in the living area or equipment
room. See Fig 1.
3. Remove the template and drill the holes.
4. Run low voltage wiring to the location and pull
about 6 in. (152 mm) of wire through the hole.
5. Plug the hole with nonflammable insulation to
prevent drafts from affecting the control opera-
tion.
NOTE: The H8908 electrical connections are not
shared with the thermostat.
