REFER to the back of the Control Unit:
ï If you have Electric Heat or a Heat
Pump (without auxiliary heat) you must
place the Gas/Electric jumper in the

6 Power Options
Please be aware of the following power options.
1) The 8035C can run on batteries only. (2AA Alkaline)
The batteries will last well over 1 year. If the batteries are not replaced the
thermostat will stop working.
2) The 8035C can run on the C wire if available.
24VAC ONLY
As shown in the wiring diagrams, The C wire is the other side of the 24VAC
heating transformer. If the C wire is used, the batteries are then for AC power
loss only and will last much longer. The thermostat will continue working if the
batteries die.

7 Wire Connections
Make sure your wires are labeled. This is necessary to determine which step-by-step
wiring diagram you should use. This may require you to find the 'other end' connection for
each wire on your heating or air conditioning equipment and read the label there.
If you have a Zoned Heating/Cooling system with multiple thermostats, please refer to our
Before you Connect Wires
Please refer back to these guidelines for safe and secure wire connections.
ï Take care not to damage the labels for each wire in handling.
ï Strip insulation 3/8 in. (9.5mm) from wire ends.
ï Connect labeled wires only to a terminal with corresponding letter.
ï Bend the wire slightly, insert the wire under the screw and tighten the
down onto the wire.

8035C Features
The 8035C can be used with most 24 volt gas, oil or electric heating and air conditioning systems,
single-stage heat pumps or gas millivolt heating systems. It cannot be used with 120 volt heating
systems or multistage heat pumps. Ask The Home Depot for other thermostats to control those
systems.
The 8035C is programmable. There are four programming
periods per day. Each period can be programmed
MENU
separately.
PROG
You can use the built-in time/temperature programs, or alter
them to suit your schedule.
The 8035C separately programs each weekday, Saturday,
and Sunday - for both heating and cooling.
You can easily override the programmed temperatures for as
little as one programming period or for an entire vacation.
RESET
The large liquid crystal touch screen display shows time, day
of the week, room and set temperatures. It will also remind
you when the filter should be changed in your blower.
Temperature swing adjustment lets you fine-tune your systemfor maximum comfort and
energy efficiency.
A 4-minute minimum off time in COOL protects your air conditioning system from being
damaged.
