TG Series Thermostats for Heat/Cool Applications

24 Volt A.C. Power Robbing, Temperature Limiting Thermostat with 

Optional Automatic Temperature Setback  

No Common Wire Needed.                            

 

Read instructions carefully before attempting to install, operate or service the Lightstat        

electronic setback thermostat.  Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal      

injury and/or property damage.  Retain instructions for future reference.  

 

 

             

Description

 

The Lightstat thermostat saves energy and             

operating costs by using Owner specified factory 

limited temperature ranges which prevent excessive 

use of heating or cooling equipment.  These limits 

cannot be changed by the user.  The unit requires no 

batteries and no programming or reset in the event of 

a power failure.  Optionally, the Lightstat thermostat 

can set back the temperature based on light level in 

the space.  A dark space is considered unoccupied 

and will turn the heating and cooling setpoints back 

for better savings.  

 

Thermostats described are available in Heat/Cool 

(TGHC) and Heat Pump (TGHP) models.
