T8400C and T8401C
Electronic Thermostats
The T8400C and T8401C Thermostats provide single-
stage, non-programmable temperature control for 24V 
heating-cooling systems with manual changeover from 
heat to cool. Heating cycle rate is selectable at 1, 3, 4, 5, 
6, or 9 cph. Cooling cycle rate is fixed at 3 cph. 
Temperature indication can be set for °F or °C. 
The T8400C Thermostat is powered through the heating/
cooling system controls. The T8401C Thermostat is 
powered directly from the system transformer. Batteries 
are not required because setpoints are held permanently 
by non-volatile memory for all models.
All TRADELINE® models include a thermostat, wallplate 
(for wiring and mounting thermostat) and owner’s guide. 
The T8400C SUPER TRADELINE® model also includes 
two decorator cover plates for covering wallmarks.

control in the trash.
Contact your local waste management authority 
for instructions regarding recycling and the 
proper disposal of an old control containing 
mercury in a sealed tube.
