If the heating equipment manufacturer has made provisions or
recommendations for the location of this control, then follow
those instructions. If not, the following suggestions should be
observed.
1.
The control should be mounted in the wall, approximately
five feet from the floor, as near as possible to the center of
the controlled area.
2.
It should be mounted on a partitioning wall, not on an
outside wall.
INSTALLATION
All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes and ordinances.
The thermostat may be mounted in any standard 2" x 3"
electrical outlet box. For ease of installation use a deep type
box.
USE WITH COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY. Use ap-
proved wire connectors for 12 AWG only.
1.
Disconnect electrical power to the system at main fuse or
circuit box.
2.
Make electrical connection to thermostat leads with wire
nuts or other local code approved devices. All connections
must be tight.
3.
Push the lead wires into the outlet box.
4.
Remove thermostat cover. Push thermostat case into
junction box and secure with screws provided.

Temperature Limiting Pins
Temperature Limiting Option is for applications where the
temperature setting of the control is to be set and "protected"
from unauthorized adjustment. To limit the temperature range,
follow the directions below:
1.
Remove cover from thermostat.
2.
On inside of cover, firmly press small tapered end of a pin
into the approximate maximum and minimum temperature
positions.
3.
After pressing pins into place on inside of cover, rotate
temperature knob to be sure the knob is between the pins.
4.
Replace cover on thermostat. Check that knob rotation is
limited in travel as set by the pins. If rotation of knob is
outside of limits, check that the pins are installed properly.
5.
Install supplied screws at top and bottom of thermostat to
secure  cover.
Pins are shown installed at 
60 and 65˚. The temperature 
setting range is limited 
between these two 
temperatures.
The third pin is supplied as a 
spare in case of accidental 
loss.
