White Rodgers 1G66 Installation Instructions

FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
INSTALLING OR OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
DESCRIPTION
The Type 1G66 Electric Heat Thermostat is designed for use on
all types of electrical heating installations such as cable heat,
baseboards, wall insert heaters, etc.
The Type 1G66 thermostat is intended for use on 240 or 277
VAC where local codes require that a double line disconnect
thermostat be used. This thermostat can also be used on 120
VAC. (See specific wiring information for 120 VAC.)
Dial Setting: This thermostat may be set anywhere between
40° and 80°F by simply turning the knob so the indicator on
knob points to the desired setting.
The knob may be turned past 40° to the "OFF" position to
obtain temporary shutdown of the heating equipment for short
periods of time such as on weekends, vacation, etc. Turning
knob to "OFF" position will break both sides of line.
NOTE: Only one side of line is broken during normal cycling of
this thermostat.
PRECAUTIONS
This control is a precision instrument, and should be handled
carefully. Rough handling or distorting components could cause
the control to malfunction. Take care not to push or damage
the internal bimetal sensing element during installation.
CAUTION
!
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage,
disconnect electric power to system, at main fuse or
circuit breaker box, until installation is complete.
All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes
and ordinances.
