All wiring should be done according to local and national electrical codes and ordinances.

Because of the many possible uses of these room

thermostats, no wiring diagrams are presented. Use the
wiring diagram that is shown on the instruction sheet that is

packed with the primary controi, or the one that is supplied
by the manufacturer of the heating equipment.

HEAT-ANTICIPATION

This thermostat is equipped with an adjustable heater. Set

heater indicator to match the current rating of the primary
control. The heater may be adjusted for current ratings from
.15 to 1.0 Amps. (fig. 2)

Adjustments

Cycles too long — Set adjustable heater to a slightly lower
dial setting (1/2 division).

Cycles too short — Set adjustable heater to a slightly
higher dial setting (1/2 division).

CALIBRATION ADJUSTMENT

These thermostats have been carefully adjusted at the
factory and should not require re-calibration.
A few degrees difference between theindicatorsetting of the
thermostat and actual room temperature is not considered
too important. If the disagreement is much greater, however,
first make sure that the thermostat is properly located and

leveled. Then, if re-caiibration still seems necessary,
proceed as follows:

1. Move temperature adjustment lever to a setting about 5°

above room temperature.

2. Remove thermostat cover. Slip standard 7/32” wrench

onto hex nut beneath bimetal, and, holdirtg temperature

adjustment lever stationary, turn hex nut clockwise until
mercury shifts to right end of tube. (fig. 3)

3. Move temperature adjustment lever to lowest setting.

4. Replace thermostat cover. Wait 10 minutes for bimetal

temperature to stabilize. Don’t stand near thermostat
during this period as your breath and body heat will affect
temperature of bimetal.

5. Move temperature adjustment lever to correspond to

actual room temperature. Then remove thermostat cover.

6. Slip 7/32” wrench onto hex nut, holding temperature

adjustment lever stationary, turn hex nut counterclock­
wise
until mercury just barely shifts to left end of tube.

Then replace cover and set thermostat to desired
temperature.
