Sun Court DUCTSTAT DS100 Operation Instructions

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
DUCTSTAT TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE SWITCH
®
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTICE
With the use of any electrical appliance, it is important to observe all basic precautions to
minimize the risk associated with use, such as electrical shock, fire, or injury to persons.
Read these instructions before using your DuctStat® Temperature Sensitive Switch™.
If you have doubts or are unfamiliar with this type of installation work, seek the services of
a qualified electrician.
Suncourt Inc. assumes no responsibility for installation of the DuctStat®.
For your safety and protection, follow all instructions and adhere to applicable building
and/or electrical codes.
This unit is equipped with a three prong grounded plug. Do NOT attempt to defeat this
feature of this plug. Defeating this will void the warranty.
Do not use in an attic or crawlspace.
NEVER EXPOSE YOUR DUCTSTAT TO TEMPERATURES OVER 140°F (60°C)
INSTALLATION NOTES
In order to prevent excessive stress on the mounting screws, support the DuctStat® when
unplugging connected devices.
Do NOT use the DuctStat® outdoors or in damp locations. The DuctStat® must remain
accessible.
The DuctStat® is intended to control the automatic On/Off operation of In-Line Duct Fans™
installed in the ductwork of forced air distribution systems.
The DuctStat® can also control the line voltage to any electrical device with a maximum current
draw of 5 Amperes.
The DuctStat® is equipped with an external, replaceable 5 AMP fuse to protect the electronic
circuitry from overload or short circuits.
This device is designed to turn on and off from temperature rise and fall. The DuctStat®
will turn on in HEAT mode when it senses temperature rise. The DuctStat® will turn on in
COOL mode when it senses temperature fall.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Locate the position between the In-Line Duct Fan™ and the register where you wish to
mount the DuctStat®. Mount between 1 and 10 feet downstream from the In-Line Duct Fan™.
2. Tape the template supplied with the DuctStat® to the air duct to mark the mounting holes to
be drilled.
3. Drill a hole in the air duct for the Air Intake Hole shown on the template. This hole should
be 1/2" in diameter.

4. Drill holes in the air duct to line up with the appropriate holes located on the template. On
round ducts, two screws placed through the slots in the DuctStat®'s base will be adequate

(placement shown on template). On square or rectangular ducts use four screws, one at each
corner of the DuctStat® (placement shown on template).
5. Tighten the supplied screws snugly in the appropriate placement for your ductwork. DO

6. Plug the device into the outlet on the face of the DuctStat®.
MODEL: DS100
7. Plug the DuctStat® power cord into a 120 VAC grounded household outlet.
8. Follow Operation Settings to adjust the DuctStat®.
Function switch selections:
OFF to stop operation of the device.
ON for continuous running of device.
HEAT for automatic on with temperature rise.
COOL for automatic on with temperature drop.
The rotary knob selects the automatic on/off temperature setting

The Differential switch provides control over on/off cycling.
OPERATION SETTINGS
When switch is on "HEAT" the DuctStat® will turn ON as the temperature rises.
1. Perform Operation Settings in the environment in which the DuctStat® is being used. For
use with forced air systems, make sure the blower is not running.
2. Plug in the DuctStat® and set the switch to OFF.
3. Set the Differential to 3°.
4. Plug the device you want to control into the DuctStat®.
5. Turn the knob clockwise until it stops. DO NOT FORCE.
6. Move the switch to ON. You should see/hear the device that is plugged into the DuctStat®
turn on.
7. Turn the switch to HEAT. At this point the device plugged into the DuctStat® will turn off.
8. Slowly turn the knob counterclockwise, just until the device plugged into the DuctStat® turns
ON.
9. Slowly turn the knob clockwise, just until the device plugged into the DuctStat® turns OFF.
10. The DuctStat® is now set to turn on when the temperature rises. If you would like the
DuctStat® to have a wider range, simply switch the Differential to 7°. This will turn the device
on and off with a larger on/off differential.
FOR HEATING

until the device turns on.
When the switch is on "COOL" the DuctStat® will turn ON as it senses cooler air
(temperature drop).
1. Perform Operation Settings in the environment in which the DuctStat® is being used. For use
with forced air systems, make sure the blower is not running.
2. Plug in the DuctStat® and set the switch to OFF.
3. Set the Differential to 3°.
4. Plug the device you want to control into the DuctStat®.
5. Turn the knob counterclockwise until it stops. DO NOT FORCE.
6. Move the switch to ON. You should see/hear the device that is plugged into the DuctStat® turn
on.
7. Turn the switch to COOL. At this point the device plugged into the DuctStat® will turn off.
8. Slowly turn the knob clockwise, until the device plugged into the DuctStat® turns ON.
9. Slowly turn the knob counterclockwise, until the device plugged into the DuctStat® turns OFF.
10. The DuctStat® is now set to turn on when the temperature drops. If you would like the
DuctStat® to have a wider range, simply switch the Differential to 7°. This will turn the device on
and off with a larger on/off differential.
FOR COOLING

to COOL.
(Turns "ON" on temperature drop)
IMPORTANT NOTE
To shorten the length of time that your device continues to run after the warming or cooling air has
shut off, rotate the knob control slightly further, as in Step 9.
Should you experience frequent On/Off cycling, move the Differential switch to the 7° position.
HEAT-COOL SETTING LOGIC
If you want the DuctStat® to turn a device on when the temperature rises above your set point you
put it on HEAT. If you want the DuctStat® to turn a device on when the temperature drops below
your set point you put it on COOL. The DuctStat® will deactivate when the temperature returns to
your set point.
