WIRING

INSTALLING THE THERMOSTAT

1.  Verify that the thermostat 

is suitable for the area 
where it is to be installed. 

2.  Check the line voltage and 

the heat-tracing load to 
ensure that the thermostat 
ratings are not exceeded.

3.  Mount the unit in a position that prevents condensation from 

draining into the enclosure from the connecting conduit (see 
diagram above). 

POSITIONING 

4.  Mount ambient-sensing units in the area exposed to the 

coldest temperature and the most wind. 

Do not mount on the 

side of a warm building or in a location that is exposed to 
warm air currents or direct sunlight.

SETTING AND ADJUSTING

5.  Set the thermostat dial to the desired temperature and finish 

wiring.
