Installation Instructions
1. Prepare for Installation
- Turn off power to the heating system at the main service panel (circuit breaker or fuse box) before beginning installation.
- Remove the old thermostat (if applicable). Note the wiring connections.
- Unpack the new Honeywell CT410B1017/E1 thermostat.
2. Mounting the Thermostat
The thermostat should be mounted on an inside wall, approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters) above the floor, away from drafts, direct sunlight, and heat-producing appliances.
- Separate the thermostat cover from the base.
- Position the thermostat base against the wall where it will be mounted.
- Mark the locations for the mounting screws.
- Drill pilot holes if necessary.
- Secure the thermostat base to the wall using the provided mounting screws. Do not overtighten.
3. Wiring the Thermostat
This thermostat is designed for 4-wire (double pole) electric heat applications (120-240V). Refer to the diagram below for typical wiring. If you are unsure about wiring, consult a qualified electrician.
- Connect the two incoming line wires (L1 and L2) to the terminals marked "LINE".
- Connect the two load wires (to the heater) to the terminals marked "LOAD".
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Push excess wire back into the wall opening.
Note: The thermostat has a "Positive Off" feature, meaning it completely disconnects power to the heater when set to the OFF position.

The dimensions are indicated as 4.5 inches height, 2.75 inches width, and 1.5 inches depth. The Honeywell logo is visible at the top.
4. Complete Installation
- Once wiring is complete and secure, carefully attach the thermostat cover to the base.
- Turn on power to the heating system at the main service panel.
- Test the thermostat operation.
Operating Instructions
The Honeywell CT410B1017/E1 thermostat is a simple, non-programmable mechanical control.
Adjusting Temperature
