Advanced Troubleshooting
This thermostat is designed to switch hazardous
voltage. Qualified service personnel may use the
following information to troubleshoot the system.
The thermostat uses a single-pole snap-action
switch to control heating output. It should open
when the room is warmer than its set temperature,
close when cooler than its set temperature. At its
minimum setting, the switch should remain open at
any temperature within its operating range, unless
the room temperature is less than about 40-50F
degrees.
