Figure-14 Typical Cooling Application for Two Stage Units.
CHECKOUT
After installing a thermostat, make an initial check of the
switching action. Verify the switch action by listening to the
switch contacts.
1. Turn the setpoint dial to a temperature above ambient.
This should cause the thermostat to switch, making orange
to brown.
2. Turn the setpoint dial setting down gradually. Orange to
brown must break, making orange to red.
3. Compare the differential of the device to the differential
shown on the performance charts by turning the dial. The
differential of the device is the difference in dial reading
between the make of orange to brown and the make of
orange to red on single switch units.
ADJUSTMENTS
Setpoint
Screwdriver adjustment. Scales dual marked °F on front and
°C on back. To change scale, remove spring retaining ring,
select scale and replace retaining ring.
Differential
The differential is adjustable by turning the adjustor located on
the side of the device (see Figure-15).
Figure-15 Adjustments.
Single Stage: Each line represents approximately 3°F (2°C)
change.
Two Stage: Each notch represents approximately 2°F (1°C)
change between stages. (Differential per switch is fixed.)
To adjust interstage differential:
1. Disconnect power to unit.
2. Remove cover.
3. Turn adjustor to approximately desired position.
4. Check out by turning dial and noting dial readings where
switch contacts make.
5. After changing interstage differential, recalibrate. See
CALIBRATION.
CALIBRATION
1. With all power disconnected, soak bulb(s) for 10 minutes
at known temperature (must be 70°F for dual bulb).
2. Turn dial and note where switch contacts make.
3. Turn dial midway between click points.
4. Turn the calibration nut (located under dial) until the
temperature of the bulb is indicated on the dial (see
Figure-15).
Note:
On two stage units follow above procedure. LO switch
is first stage on cooling applications. HI switch is first stage
on heating applications.
MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance of the total system is needed to assure
sustained optimum performance. Thermostats should be
periodically inspected for dirt or blockage of air over the
elements.
REPAIR
Field repair is not recommended. Replace defective device.
