SETTING AND CHECKOUT

IMPORTANT

Make sure all wiring connections are tight.

After the thermostat has been installed and wired, simulate
normal operation as follows.

Turn the setting dial completely clockwise. The electric
heater should start to heat.

Turn the dial completely counterclockwise. The power
circuit should be broken and the electric heater should
start to cool.

To determine the final setting, move the dial indicator to
the 70

°

F (21

°

C) position on the scale. If the setting is

not satisfactory after a minimum of two hours of
thermostat operation, turn the dial indicator to raise or
lower the temperature. Move the indicator only a few
degrees each time an adjustment is necessary.
