Honeywell T4051A, T6051A, T6052A Heavy Duty Thermostats
Application
The T4051, T6051, and T6052 series thermostats are heavy-duty, line-voltage thermostats designed for controlling fan coils, fans, motor starters, valves, contactors, and circulator motors in heating and/or cooling systems.
The T4051A is for heating-only control. The T4051B is for cooling-only control. The T4051D is for electric heat applications and is used without a subbase.
The T6051A can be used in heating-only systems, cooling-only systems, combination heat-cool systems (requiring a changeover switch), or as a series 60 controller for valves and motors.
The T6052A is for two-stage heating or two-stage cooling systems. The T6052B is for one-stage heating-cooling systems with automatic changeover.
The Q651 Subbase can be used with these thermostats to provide system switching at the thermostat location. Refer to the applicable specification sheet for additional information.
Electrical Ratings
Electrical ratings for the heavy-duty thermostats are provided in Table 1.
Model | Rating | 120V AC | 240V AC |
T4051A,B,Da | Full load | 16 | 8 |
T6051A (heat)b | Locked rotor | 96 | 48 |
T4052A (stage 1) | Full load | 8 | 4 |
T6051A (cool) | Locked rotor | 48 | 24 |
T6052A (stage 2) |
aT4051D also has non-inductive rating: 19 amps at 277V AC; 22 amps at 120/240V AC.
bT6051D may be used without a subbase for 22 amp non-inductive load switching.
Pilot duty rating (all models): 125 VA.
Installation
CAUTION: Disconnect power supply before making wiring connections to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage.
- Installer must be a trained, experienced serviceman.
- Always conduct a thorough checkout when installation is complete.
Location: Locate the thermostat about five feet above the floor on an inside wall where it will be affected only by the average temperature of the room. These thermostats are mounted vertically.
If using a Q651 Subbase, refer to the instructions packed with the subbase.
Mounting
- Mount a 2 by 4 inch outlet box either vertically or horizontally depending on the model used. Models with vertical faceplate mount on vertical outlet box; models with horizontal faceplate mount on horizontal outlet box.
- Run conduit between the outlet box, power source, and the unit being controlled. Leave about six inches of wire in the box for connections.
- Place the mounting plate on the outlet box. Insert the two furnished mounting screws, leaving them loose enough to move the mounting plate for leveling.
- Level the mounting plate and tighten the mounting screws.
- Connect the heating and/or cooling system wires or the series 60 equipment wires to the back terminals of the thermostat.
- When wiring is complete, secure the fiber insulator on all models except the T4051B by snapping the holes in the flap over the switch rivet heads. When the normally open switch terminal is used, clip the flap to allow it to pass around the wire. On the T4051B, secure the flap by snapping it over a projection on the molded resistor cover.
- Hang thermostat on mounting plate tabs.
- Take socket-head cover mounting screw (furnished) and insert it into tab at bottom of base. Do not tighten. Replace cover.
- Insert set point knob into socket-head screw and tighten. This fastens cover and thermostat to the mounting plate previously attached to outlet box. Remove knob.

Wiring Diagrams
CAUTION: Disconnect power supply before making wiring connections to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage.
All wiring must comply with applicable electrical codes and ordinances. Refer to the wiring diagrams below, instructions packed with the subbase, and heating and/or cooling equipment manufacturer's instructions.
T4051A Heating Control
The T4051A is used to control heating equipment. Switch makes on temperature fall and breaks on temperature rise. Subbase is available.
Fig. 2 - T4051A Heating Control.
T4051B Cooling Control
The T4051B is for cooling equipment control. The switch makes on a rise in temperature and breaks on a fall in temperature. Subbase is available.
Fig. 3 - T4051B Cooling Control.
T4051D Electric Heating Control
The T4051D is used to control electric heating equipment. It makes on temperature fall and breaks on temperature rise. Because it has a higher load rating, the T4051D should NOT be used with a subbase.

T6051A Applications
The T6051A is for heating and/or cooling systems with manual changeover. Switch makes normally closed (N.C.) contacts on temperature fall, and normally open (N.O.) contacts on temperature rise.

T6052A Applications
The T6052A is for two-stage heating or cooling systems. Switches make stages 1 and 2 in sequence. The T6052B is for heating-cooling with auto changeover; stage 1 makes on temperature fall; stage 2 makes on temperature rise.

Altitude Calibration
This thermostat was calibrated at the factory for accuracy at 1,000 feet above sea level. It may be necessary to reset the thermostat for the altitude of your locality. If you do not know your altitude, consult your local U.S. Weather Bureau or Public Library.
Each notch on the calibration mechanism represents 2,000 feet. If you are above sea level, use the chart to determine how far to move the indicator.
Fig. 13 - Altitude calibration.
Elevation Chart
Elevation (in feet) | Indicator Adjustment |
0 to 2,000 | Leave as is |
2,000 to 4,000 | Move counterclockwise 1 notch |
4,000 to 6,000 | Move counterclockwise 2 notches |
6,000 and above | Move counterclockwise 3 notches |
Operation and Checkout
After the thermostat is installed and wired, operate it manually to make certain it is connected properly. Checkout will depend on the type of hookup and controlled equipment.
For cooling control, check by turning the setting knob to move the indicator down the scale. This initiates a call for cooling, and the cooling equipment should respond. For heating control, turn the setting knob to move the indicator up the scale. This initiates a call for heat, and the heating equipment should respond. For heating/cooling control, check both heating and cooling as described above. For series 60 control, check the equipment through the T6051A and make sure it functions as intended.
CAUTION: If the thermostat is controlling a compressor, allow at least two minutes between on cycles to equalize internal pressure. Rapid cycling might damage the compressor and overload the electrical circuit.
To Lock Set Point
After altitude adjustment is complete, replace the cover and cover setscrew. Move the set point indicator to the desired temperature setting. Remove the set point knob to lock the set point.
