Ratings: 10.5A maximum at 208 to
240 Vac, 50/60 Hz, 2500W. (To
determine baseboard wattage,
check the nameplate or
measure the length of the
baseboards the thermostat will
control. Generally, if the length of
the baseboards is more than ten
feet per thermostat, the wattage
is probably over 2500W. You
need to call an electrician.)
Not for use with central heating
systems or fan-forced heaters.

YOUR HONEYWELL THERMOSTAT
Your new Honeywell CT1700 adjusts room temperature to
maximize comfort and energy savings by sensing light and
motion. It provides 15% to 23% energy savings compared to
nonprogrammable electric heating thermostats. The CT1700
replaces any two-wire, spst, line voltage thermostat used for
controlling electric baseboard heat.

PREPARATION
Proper installation of your
Honeywell thermostat will
occur if you follow instructions
step-by-step. It is recom-
mended that as you read,
understand and complete each
step, you check
√
it off with
pencil or pen.
Check thermostat suitabil-
ity for your home’s system
by reviewing the ratings listed on
the front of these instructions.
Make certain that your
heating system is
working, especially if it has
been inoperative for a length of
time. If the system does
not work, contact your local elec-
trician for assistance.
Carefully unpack your new
thermostat.
Save instructions, receipt
and proof-of-purchase.

THERMOSTAT FEATURES
Loosen the screws
holding the thermostat
base to the electrical box and
lift away.
Disconnect wires from
the old thermostat. If
the old thermostat was not
mounted to a vertical outlet
box, install a box now.
Check the old wire
insulation for cracks,
nicks or fraying, and apply UL
Listed/CSA Certified electrical
tape where necessary, for
adequate insulation.
Retain the old thermo-
stat for reference later
and until your new thermostat
is functioning smoothly.

THERMOSTAT
Remove the CT1700A
cover by grasping the top
or bottom edges and pulling
outward away from the thermo-
stat base.
Connect wires to the
thermostat, as shown in
the wiring diagram, using
approved solderless wire
connectors.
NOTE: Special service CO/ALR
wire connectors must be
used when connecting with
aluminum conductors;
otherwise, a fire hazard can
result.
Prebend and push the
wires into the outlet box.
Mount the thermostat on the
outlet box using the screws
provided.
CHECK OUT
THERMOSTAT
Turn on the power to the
heating system. The
thermostat will display “SC” for
15 seconds, showing the
system is operating properly. If
an “E” flashes continuously, the
thermostat is defective. Return
the thermostat for a replace-
ment unit.
“
Occupied-dark” indicator
will flash for two minutes
while the thermostat program is
being initialized. Next, the
actual operating program will
be displayed. (It takes three
minutes from turning on the
power for the programmed
temperature to be displayed.)

PROGRAMMING
Tap the SEL key to move between modes. The
display changes in the following order: occupied-
light, unoccupied-light, unoccupied-dark, occu-
pied-dark, L, F or C.
NOTE: To lessen temperature changes when an
occupant leaves an area, the CT1700 will not
change from an occupied to unoccupied
setting for 60 minutes (light setting) or for three
hours (dark setting). If you notice your pet
activating the program, cover up the lower half
of the sensor window or program temperature
changes for only light and not occupancy.

Display
Select Fahrenheit or Celsius by
tapping the SEL key until F or C
appear in the LCD display. Tap the
SET key to select the setting.
Program Temperature Setting
NOTE: If programming in Fahrenheit,
only even numbered temperatures
(i.e., 66, 68, 70) can be selected.
The temperature setting range is
40
°
to 86
°
F [5
°
to 30
°
C].
Tap the SEL key until the
indicator on the LCD points to
the desired condition (i.e., occupied-
dark). Press the SET key to select the
desired temperature. Repeat for each
condition.
Program Light Level
Consider the ambient outdoor and
indoor lighting over a 24 hour period
when setting the light level. The three
light level settings are: L1—the most
sensitive so it is used when you want
the thermosat to respond to a low light
level, like the TV or reading light; L2—
average setting so it is used for most
rooms; L3—the least sensitive setting
so it is used in well-lit areas.
Tap the SEL key until the LCD
displays L1, L2 or L3. Tap the
SET key to change the light
setting.
Review Program
Tap the SEL key to scroll
between settings. If you want to
change any setting, tap the SET key
until the display shows the desired
setting.
Reading Current Temperature
Tap the SET key. The room
temperature and four indicators
will be displayed for about ten sec-
onds. The display range is 40
°
to 86
°
F
[5
°

°
C]. When the room tempera-
ture is warmer than 86
°
F [30

two upper indicators will be displayed.
When the room temperature is colder
than 40
°
F [5

indicators will be displayed.
Loss of Power
The CT1700 maintains the program
during loss of power without batteries.
