terminals.
WIRING
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances.
Disconnect power before wiring to prevent electrical
shock or equipment damage.
The shape of the terminal barrier permits insertion of
straight or conventional wraparound wiring connections.
Either method is acceptable.
Push excess wire back into the hole, and plug hole with
nonhardening caulk, putty or insulation to prevent drafts
from affecting thermostat operation.
Refer to Figs. 4-9 for typical hookups of subbase thermo-
stat.
NOTE: Restrict all wiring to recessed area surrounding
terminals (Fig.3) to assure thermostat/subbase contact.
ADJUSTING CYCLE RATE
To custom-tailor the thermostat’s cycling performance
to different types of heating equipment, cycle rate adjust-
ment screws are provided on the back of the thermostat.
Correct setting of these screws will provide optimum room
temperature control.
NOTE: MOST APPLICATIONS WILL NOT REQUIRE A
CHANGE IN CYCLE RATE.
