1.
Remove the thermostat cover b
y
pullin

the bottom
ed
g
e of the cover awa
y
from the base until it snaps free
of the cover clip.
NOTE: The cover is hin
g

If LED indication
(
EM.HT., CHECK, etc.
)
is to be used
with the Q674 Subbase, install the preprinted insert
under the thermostat setpoint scale. To install, push
both thermostat setpoint levers to the far ends of the
thermostat. Use index fin
g
er to
g
entl
y
pull out the plastic
setpoint scale about 1/4 in.
(
6 mm
)
. Position the desired
preprinted insert in the space above the LED li
g
hts.
Reposition setpoint levers.
4.
Turn over the thermostat base and note the sprin
g
fin-
g
ers that en
g
a
g
e the subbase contacts. Make sure the
sprin
g
fin
g
ers are
not
bent flat, preventin
g
proper elec-
trical contact with the subbase.
5.
Set the heat anticipator indicator
(
s
)
to the respective
current settin
g
of each sta
g
e. See Set The Heat Antici-
pator section.
6.
If the thermostat provides optional lockin
g
cover assem-
bl
y
, start the Allen lockin
g
screws in the cover with the
wrench provided. See Fi
g
. 10.
7.
Note the two tabs alon
g
the top inside ed
g
e of the ther-
mostat base. The tabs fit into correspondin
g
slots on top
of the subbase. Mount the thermostat on the subbase.

Set the Heat Anticipator
Move the indicator to match the primar
y
control current draw.
When usin
g
a T874 Thermostat with two sta
g
es of heatin
g
,
set each heat anticipator to match its respective primar
y
control current draw. If
y
ou cannot find the current ratin
g
on
the primar
y
control, or if further ad
j
ustment is necessar
y
, see
NOTE and use the followin
g
procedure to determine the
current draw of each sta
g
e.
The current draw of each heatin
g
sta
g
e must be measured
with the thermostat removed and power on to the heatin
g
s
y
stem.
1.
Connect an ac ammeter of appropriate ran
g
e between
the heatin
g
terminals of the subbase:
a. Sta
g
e 1—between W1 and RH or R;
b. Sta
g
e 2—between W2 and RH or R
c. Sta
g
e 3—between W3 and RH or R.
2.
Move the s
y
stem switch to HEAT or AUTO.
3.
After one minute, read the ammeter and record the
readin
g
:
a. Sta
g
e 1—__________A;
b. Sta
g
e 2—__________A;
c. Sta
g
e 3—__________A.
NOTE: If e
q
uipment c

cles too fast, set the indicator to a
hi

her current ratin
g
, but not more than one-half divi-
sion at a time, and recheck the c
