Application:

This thermostat is a 120VAC Heating and Cooling Digital Temperature 
Control.  It is designed for use on 4-pipe and 2-pipe fan coil systems 
operating at 120VAC.  Switching of load circuits is through relay 
contacts, allowing the control to switch pilot duty and fan loads.  Fan 
cycles on/off automatically with calls for heating or cooling.  Two 
speed direct drive capability for fan motors up to 1/6 HP.  This
thermostat operates from a single setpoint with automatic changeover
from heating to cooling.  There is built in programming to alter the
control characteristics to suit energy conservation needs.  

Installation Notice:

This high performance digital thermostat is designed to provide many 
years of superior comfort control when properly installed and maintained.  
To achieve maximum performance, this device is designed to draw 
room air into itself continuously.  Reasonable care must therefore be 
taken with regard to air quality at the time of installation as well as 
during periods of normal use, see operating conditions below.

Operating Conditions:

The electronic mechanisms incorporated within this unit REQUIRE
operating conditions similar to other electronic devices intended for
INDOOR USE ONLY, such as would be acceptable for TV and similar
household appliances.  Relative humidity must be less than 95% and
the atmosphere must be non-condensing.  For operation in bathrooms,
shower or pool areas, outdoor entryways, greenhouses and similar
applications, order NPK-4120U-1.  These products include protection
for coastal/tropical applications, therefore they are suitable for use in
high humidity environments. Air quality must be maintained FREE of
heavy dust or debris which may infiltrate the interior of this device.
Installation in any space which is unfinished or undergoing repainting
or general rehabilitation is also considered product abuse.  This device
should be removed from service during any local construction activity.

Cleaning:

This device incorporates a high impact polycarbonate enclosure which 
is easily cleaned with a dry cloth or vacuum brush.  Occasional soiling 
may be cleaned with a soft cloth lightly dampened with water and/or 
mild cleaning solution.  IN NO CASE should this device be directly 
sprayed with or exposed to free flowing liquids, including water, which 
could penetrate its interior. 

FAILURE TO OBSERVE ANY OF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS OF USE 
WILL COMPLETELY VOID THE SUPPLIER WARRANTY.

 

                               

 

                                     CAUTION

MAKE SURE UNIT IS PROPERLY CONNECTED.  DAMAGE TO THE 
DIGITAL CONTROL CAN BE CAUSED BY MISWIRING, WHICH WILL 
VOID THE WARRANTY.  FOR SAFETY REASONS ALWAYS USE 
WIRE NUTS ON ALL WIRE CONNECTIONS!!!

4-Pipe Fan Coil Installation:

This device should be installed and serviced by a qualified technician.  
Junction box mounting is highly recommended.

1.    Caution:  

Make sure that power has been disconnected.

2.

  All wiring must comply with applicable codes and ordinances.

3.

  A thorough check-out of the system should be made after 

 

installation is complete.

4. 

If fan motor is larger than 1/6 HP and/or electric heaters are used

  for heating, additional power relays will be required.

5. 

If retrofitting old thermostat, remove old thermostat from the 

  junction box, carefully noting the wire connections on the old unit.  
   Record wire color and terminal legends in spaces provided.

Disconnect old thermostat and remove any existing backplate or 
mounting plate.

Retrofitting with Existing Control Wiring:

Most 3 speed fan system's control 
wiring is sufficient to connect this 2 
speed thermostat without adding a 
neutral wire.  This connection is 
achieved by using the third fan speed 
wire as a neutral.  Disconnect the 
unused fan speed wire from the fan 
motor and connect it to *Neutral.  
Be sure to insulate the unused fan 
motor wire to prevent shorts.  At the 
thermostat, connect the unused fan 
speed wire (now neutral) to the 
thermostat.

User Note:  The top of this unit will become warm to the touch.  This is a 
normal operation.  Internal heating is employed to continuously convect 
air upward through the thermostat, thereby improving room air temperature 
measurement.  Direct conflict with a downward ceiling fan or system fan air 
flow may result in false temperature reading.  Locate thermostat to avoid 
interference.
