Optional Cover Plate Installation
NOTE: If an Optional Cover Plate is not required, see “UWP Mounting System installation” on the next page.
Use the Optional Cover Plate when:
- Mounting the thermostat to an electrical junction box
- Or when you need to cover the paint gap from an old thermostat.
- Before starting, turn the power off at the breaker box or switch. Separate the Junction Box Adapter from the Cover Plate. See Figure 1.
- Mount the Junction Box Adapter to the wall or an electrical box using any of the eight screw holes. Insert and tighten the mounting screws supplied with Cover Plate Kit. Do not over-tighten. See Figure 2. Make sure the Adapter Plate is level.
- Attach the UWP by hanging it on the top hook of the Junction Box Adapter and then snapping the bottom of the UWP in place. See Figure 3.
- Snap the Cover Plate onto the Junction Box Adapter. See Figure 4.
UWP Mounting System Installation
- Before starting, turn the power off at the breaker box or switch. Open the package to find the UWP. See Figure 5.
- Position the UWP on the wall. Level and mark hole positions. See Figure 6. Drill holes at marked positions, and then lightly tap supplied wall anchors into the wall using a hammer. ‒ Drill 7/32” holes for drywall.
- Pull the door open and insert the wires through the wiring hole of the UWP. See Figure 7.
- Place the UWP over the wall anchors. Insert and tighten mounting screws supplied with the UWP. Do not over-tighten. Tighten until the UWP no longer moves. Close the door. See Figure 8.
Power options
Setting Slider Tabs (built-in jumper)
Set R Slider Tab.
- Use a built-in jumper (R Slider Tab) to differentiate between one or two transformer systems.
- If there is only one R wire, and it is connected to the R, Rc, or RH terminal, set the slider to the up position (1 wire).
- If one wire is connected to the R terminal and one is connected to the Rc terminal, set the slider to the down position (2 wires).
NOTE: Slider Tabs for U terminals should be left in place for T4 Pro models.
UWP Wiring terminal designations
* Terminal can be jumped using Slider Tab. See “Setting Slider Tabs” above.
** The THP9045A1023 Wire Saver Module is used on heat/cool systems when you only have four wires at the thermostat and need a fifth wire for a common wire.
Use the K terminal instead of the Y and G terminals on conventional or heat pump systems to provide control of the fan and the compressor through a single wire—the unused wire then becomes your common wire. See THP9045 instructions for more information.

303 | Auto Changeover Differential | 0 °F to 5 °F 0.0 °C to 2.5 °C Note: Differential is NOT a deadband. Differential means how far past the setpoint before switching to the mode selected. Deadband setup is not an option. Honeywell uses an advanced algorithm that fixes deadband at 0 °F. This is more advanced than previous thermostats. |
365 | Compressor Cycle Rate (Stage 1) | 1 – 6 Note: This ISU is only displayed when Cool /Compressor Stage is set to 1 stage. Cycle rate limits the maximum number of times the system can cycle in 1 hour measured at a 50% load. For example, when set to 3 CPH, at a 50% load, the most the system will cycle is 3 times per hour (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off). The system cycles less often when load conditions are less than or greater than a 50% load. |
370 | Heating Cycle Rate (Stage 1) | 1 – 12 Note: This ISU is only displayed when the Heat Stage is set to 1 stage. Cycle rate limits the maximum number of times the system can cycle in a 1 hour period measured at a 50% load. For example, when set to 3 CPH, at a 50% load, the most the system will cycle is 3 times per hour (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off). The system cycles less often when the load conditions are less than or greater than a 50% load. The recommended (default) cycle rate settings are below for each heating equipment type: Standard Efficiency Gas Forced Air = 5 CPH; High Efficiency Gas Forced Air = 3 CPH; Oil Forced Air = 5 CPH; Electric Forced Air = 9 CPH; Fan Coil = 3 CPH; Hot Water Radiant Heat = 3 CPH; Steam = 1 CPH. |
370 | Heating Cycle Rate Auxiliary Heat | 1 – 12 |
387 | Compressor Protection | 0 = Off 1 – 5 minutes Note: The thermostat has a built-in compressor protection (minimum off timer) that prevents the compressor from restarting too early after a shutdown. The minimum-off timer is activated after the compressor turns off. If there is a call during the minimum-off timer, the thermostat shows “Wait” in the display. This ISU is displayed if ISU 220 is set to at least 1 stage. |
425 | Adaptive Intelligent Recovery | 0 = No 1 = Yes Note: Adaptive Intelligent Recovery (AIR) is a comfort setting. Heating or cooling equipment will turn on earlier, ensuring the indoor temperature will match the setpoint at the scheduled time. |
430 | Minimum Cool Setpoint | 50 °F to 99 °F (50 °F) 10.0 °C to 37.0 °C (10.0 °C) Note: The cool temperature cannot be set below this level. |

FAQs About Honeywell T4 Pro Programmable Thermostat Installation
How can I set up WiFi on my Honeywell RTH6500WF?
Join the thermostat’s Wi-Fi network (New Thermostat X) with your mobile device. Access the thermostat’s “Wi-Fi Setup” page using a web browser on your mobile device, then choose your home network. Enter your password after that. Register your product for remote use at mytotalconnectcomfort.com.
Why is the temperature readout on my Honeywell thermostat incorrect?
The problem might be resolved by cleaning the thermostat’s interior. The sensor will struggle to function properly if there is too much dust within. If problems persist after cleaning, you could want to recalibrate your sensor.
Are batteries required for the Honeywell rth6580wf?
This device requires the C wire (24VAC common or neutral) to receive power because it does not use a battery but rather the furnace/AC unit.
What is my Honeywell thermostat’s control scheme?
Setting the temperature on your Honeywell thermostat is easy if you have a manual thermostat. To adjust the temperature, simply push the up and down buttons. Until you adjust it again, the temperature you set will remain.
Is Honeywell functional without WiFi?
Yes, even if your Wi-Fi network is down, the thermostat will still control your heating and/or cooling system.
For a Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostat, how many wires are required?
The most typical wiring setup consists of five wires. However, you might just notice two or as many as ten. Note any current wires that are not attached to a terminal. These wires need not be marked.
What occurs if the battery in a Honeywell thermostat dies?
Your programmed thermostat won’t work if the batteries are dead, which prevents you from operating your HVAC system. The preset settings on your thermostat will also be lost. You’ll have to swap out the batteries if you make it this far.
Should I change the thermostat’s batteries?
There is a low battery indicator light on Honeywell thermostats. You’ll have roughly 60 days to change the batteries after this light turns on.
How durable is a Honeywell thermostat?
The normal lifespan of a thermostat for upkeep, repair, or replacement is variable (unlike air conditioners that need a tune-up every year). However, in general, you can count on your thermostat to endure for at least ten years.
How can I maintain a steady temperature on my Honeywell thermostat?
Press up or down until the appropriate temperature is displayed to permanently ignore the timetable. Press the Hold button to keep the new temperature for an infinite period. On the screen, the word “Hold” will display.
What’s the process of a Honeywell thermostat?
When the air temperature drops below the thermostat setting, the heating turns on, and when the set temperature is achieved, it turns off. This is how it works. The temperature in the room won’t increase any faster if the thermostat is turned up.
When Wi-Fi is lost, what happens to the smart thermostat?
The advanced functions of your smart thermostat will stop working if the Wi-Fi connection is lost, but it will still be able to regulate your home’s heating and cooling system. You won’t need to be concerned that the system is down.
