How to Calibrate a T8112 Thermostat

The T8112 Thermostat from American manufacturer Honeywell is a thermostat for home use. As of this writing it is a discontinued model, but some private retailers still have it in stock. It can be used to control temperature settings for air conditioners and heating systems. This thermostat can be programmed for precise temperature control as well as to specify the time of day when the system is to be in operation. Eight simple programming buttons are used to program the Honeywell T8112. The procedure is familiar to anyone who has programmed a video player or remote control.
