FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
INSTALLING OR OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
These room thermostats are specially designed to control
combination heating and cooling equipment that operates on
line voltage.
These controls are suitable for fans or water solenoids on
heating/cooling convectors or any similar application that re-
quires a heavy duty room thermostat with single pole, double
throw (SPDT) switch action.
NOTE
If in doubt about whether your wiring is millivolt, line, or low
voltage, have it inspected by a qualified heating and air condi-
tioning contractor or electrician.
Do not exceed the specification ratings.
All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes and
ordinances.
This control is a precision instrument, and should be handled
carefully. Rough handling or distorting components could cause
the control to malfunction.
This control has been accurately calibrated at the factory. Any
attempt to calibrate this control will void the White-Rodgers
warranty.
