local electrical codes during installation. All wiring must conform
to local and national electrical codes. Improper wiring or installa-
tion may damage thermostat.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol
.
When you see this symbol on the equipment and in the instruction
manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAU-
TION. These words are used with the safety-alert symbol. DAN-

INTRODUCTION
The Builder’s Model thermostat is an electronic 24-vac, non-
programmable, manual changeover wall mount thermostat. This
thermostat uses a single set point to maintain and control room
temperature in both the heating and air conditioning modes. The
thermostat is designed to maintain +/- 2°F accuracy. No batteries
are required; temperature, fan, mode, and installer configuration
settings are preserved with power off.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
AIR CONDITIONER MODEL
TSTATCCBAC01-B, the Builder’s Model air conditioner thermo-
stat, may be wired with or without connecting a common wire
between the indoor equipment and the thermostat. However, it is
recommended to use a common wire whenever possible. Without
a common wire this thermostat becomes "power stealing." This
means it will need to steal a small amount of power from the
equipment to which it is connected. When "power stealing"
method is used, the supplied 270 ohm load resistor must be
connected at the indoor unit. (See Fig. 2, 3, 5, and notes.)
NOTE: Not all HVAC equipment is compatible with power
stealing type thermostats. For all non-Carrier equipment, consult
the system equipment Installation Instructions before applying this
thermostat in a power stealing manner.
HEAT PUMP MODEL
TSTATCCBHP01-B, the Builder’s Model heat pump thermostat,
is compatible with all Carrier heat pump systems. It is NOT power
stealing and MUST have both the R and C terminals connected to
operate properly. This thermostat uses a green LED to indicate
auxiliary heat and emergency heat operation.
The following Carrier equipment is not compatible with the
AC version (TSTATCCBAC01-B) of this thermostat.

INSTALLATION
Step 1—Thermostat Location
Thermostat should be mounted:
• Approximately 5 ft (1.5m) from floor.
• Close to or in a frequently used room, preferably on an inside
partitioning wall.
• On a section of wall without pipes or duct work.
Thermostat should NOT be mounted:
• Close to a window, on an outside wall, or next to a door leading
to the outside.
• Exposed to direct light and heat from a lamp, sun, fireplace, or
other heat-radiating object which may cause a false reading.
• Close to or in direct airflow from supply registers and return-air
grilles.
• In areas with poor air circulation, such as behind a door or in
an alcove.
