Recycling Notice  
This control contains mercury in a sealed tube. Do not  
place control in the trash at the end of its useful life.  
Contact your local waste management authority for  
instructions regarding recycling and the proper disposal of  
this control, or of an old control containing mercury in a  
sealed tube.  
If this control is replacing a control that contains mercury in  
a sealed tube, do not place your old control in the trash.

SET HEAT ANTICIPATOR LEVER  
The thermostat adjustable heat anticipator must be

zone valve with the thermostat wires connected to it.These  
controls are usually located behind the furnace cover. See  
next illustration.  
of the system. An incorrect setting can result in room  
temperature swings or burn out the anticipator and void the  
thermostat warranty.  
If current rating is still unavailable, proceed as follows:  
•
Connect the probes of an ac ammeter (0 to 2.0A for  
example) between the R (or RH) and W terminals on  
the wallplate or subbase.  
Let the system operate through the ammeter for at least  
one minute before taking reading. Record the reading  
Make sure you have the current draw (anticipator setting)  
for your system. This is the number you wrote in the box in  
Step 3. If you were unable to find the current draw for Step 3,  
this information can be found printed on the primary control  
at the furnace or boiler. The primary control is usually a gas

Power is supplied to the clock by two AAA alkaline

dead, replace with two new AAA alkaline batteries. We  
recommend Energizer batteries. Other types of batteries
