Installation
On a two-heat thermostat, the two stages of heat make

sequentially as the temperature drops. Make refers to the
mercury switch initiating a call for heat or cool.
There are about 2° F [1° C] between stages so that the
second stage makes only when the first stage cannot handle
the load. This is the interstage differential.
One or two LEDs (light emitting diodes) are included on
your subbase. Refer to the list below for specific meaning.

4. After installation is complete, check out product opera-
tion as provided in these instructions.
CAUTION
1. Disconnect power supply to prevent electrical
shock and equipment damage.

age, keep wire length to a minimum and run
wires as close as possible to the subbase. Push
excess wire back into the hole and plug hole to
prevent drafts from affecting thermostat opera-
tion.
The AUX. HT. LED lights when the auxiliary heat stage
is operating. The weather is cold enough that the first stage
cannot handle the load alone.
LEDs are not field replaceable or addable.

. Do not short across coil terminals on the relay.
This may burn out the thermostat heat
anticipator.
This control contains mercury in a sealed tube. Do not
place control in the trash at the end of its useful life.
Ifthiscontrolisreplacingacontrolthatcontainsmercuryin
a sealed tube, do not place your old control in the trash.
Contact your local waste management authority for in-
structions regarding recycling and the proper disposal of this
control, or of an old control containing mercury in a sealed
tube.
IMPORTANT: Thermostats are calibrated at the factory
using subbases mounted at true level. An inaccurately
leveled subbase will cause thermostat control devia-
tion.
