INSTALLATION
MOUNTING SCREWS
ATTACH SUBBASE TO WALL
1. Route wires from the cooling equipment to the thermostat
location and pull wires through hole in wall so that 6 inches
of cable protrudes.
2. Pull wires through opening near center of subbase and
connect wires beneath terminal screws as shown under
wiring.

3. Push excess wiring into wall and plug hole with fire-resistant
material (such as fiberglass insulation) to prevent drafts
from affecting thermostat operation.

3. Attach thermostat base to subbase, being sure that all
captive screws are tightened snugly, since they serve as
electrical connections between thermostat and subbase.
ATTACH THERMOSTAT TO SUBBASE
1. Remove cover from thermostat base by gripping the base in
one hand. Use the other hand to pull gently at the top or
bottom of the cover.
4. Snap cover on thermostat base and set temperature lever to
desired setting. The thermostat scale has numbers from 1 to
5. The lower numbers represent cooler temperature and the
higher numbers represent warmer temperature.
2. Carefully remove the shipping protective packing from the
switch.
WIRING
Take care when securing and routing wires so they
do not short to adjacent terminals or rear of ther-
mostat. Personal injury and/or property damage
may occur.

COOLING MODE - Pump relay and Fan timer relay energized by
thermostat. Fan speed relay is energized by fan switch in "HI"
position. Water begins circulating on cooler pads, fan will start on
high speed after short time delay.*
VENT MODE - Fan timer relay energized by thermostat. Fan speed
relay is energized by fan switch in "HI" position. Fan will start on
high speed after short time delay.*
VENT MODE - Fan timer relay energized by thermostat. Fan
will start on low speed after short time delay.*
In "HI" position - No fan, but fan speed relay will
remain energized
* Fan timer relay energizes in approximately one minute. When
system shuts off, relay de-energizes in approximately 1/2 minute.
