LOCATION

^aBlank faceplate.

Locate the thermostat about 5 feet [1.5m] above the

floor in an area with good air circulation at average room

temperature.

Affix the accessory faceplate when mounting the

T921A,B,E models horizontally with contemporary cov-

ers. Peel the backing strip from the faceplate and place it

lightly over the vertical faceplate. Align the edges and

corners and make sure the scales align with the markings.

Press firmly over the entire surface. Do not attempt to

reapply once the faceplate has been mounted.

Do not mount the thermostat where it can be affected by:

—

drafts, or dead spots behind doors and in corners.

hot or cold air from ducts.

radiant heat from the sun or appliances.

concealed pipes and chimneys.

unheated (uncooled) areas such as an outside wall

behind the thermostat.

rately) to mount the thermostat vertically on the horizontal

conduit box; or to mount the thermostat horizontally on the

vertical conduit box (see Fig. 4).

Do not exceed the following electrical ratings:

Voltage: 24 to 30 Vac.

Auxiliary Switch Contact Ratings: 100 VA at 30

Vac.

Make all electrical connections to the terminals on the

back of the thermostat before mounting the instrument onto

the conduit box. Terminal locations for all models are

shown in Fig. 5. Note the difference in terminal designa-

tions for the auxiliary switch on the T921F and G. The H

Heater) terminal on the T921E is a black leadwire.

Typical wiring diagrams are shown in Figs. 6 through

0. Wire the T921 color-to-color when the modulating

motor must drive the valve or damper open on temperature

fall (heating application). When opposite motor action is

required, reverse the B and W connections. Refer to the

appropriate instructions when wiring the 2-position actua-

tor (Figs. 9 and 10).

ADDITIONAL FEATURES:

TEMPERATURE SETTING

Adjust all T921 models at the top of the thermostat for

vertically mounted models and on the left side for horizon-

tally mounted models using the setting adjustment knob or

an Allen wrench (see Fig. 11). The device is shipped with

the temperature setting indicator at the center of the tem-

perature range. Without removing the cover, turn the set-

ting adjustment knob or use an Allen wrench so the indica-

tor is at the desired average room temperature.

T921B SUMMER-WINTER CHANGEOVER

TheT921Bincludesasummer-winterchangeoverswitch.

It is labeled COOL-HEAT. For horizontally mounted

models, this switch is located on the left side of the

thermostat. For vertically mounted models, it is lo-

cated on the top of the thermostat (see Fig. 11).

T921E NIGHT SETBACK

The T921E includes a manual night setback switch

located on the top of the thermostat (see Fig. 11).

SETTING AND ADJUSTING • OPERATION

This switch energizes a heater that offsets the ther-

temperature for night operation. Leave this switch in

the OFF position for normal operation; turn it to the

ON position for lower night time temperature.

T921 Thermostats are calibrated at the factory so when

the room temperature matches the setpoint temperature, the

If the thermostat is out of calibration, proceed as follows

(

see Fig. 11):

1. Remove the thermostat cover.

. Turn the thermostat setting adjustment knob or an

point.

. Loosen the indicator lock screw and move the indica-

tor to room temperature. Tighten the lock screw.

tion and repeat the procedure if necessary.

Operation

In the T921, a vapor-filled bellows moves the potenti-

ometer wiper by expanding or contracting in proportion to

temperature changes. As the wiper moves, the appropriate

motor winding is energized, opening or closing the valve or

damper to compensate for the temperature change in the

controlled area.
