RECYCLING NOTICE
If this control is replacing a control that contains mercury in a sealed tube, do not place your old control in the trash.
Contact your local waste management authority for instructions regarding recycling and the proper disposal of any control containing mercury in a sealed tube.
INSTALLATION
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE CONTROL. ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
This thermostat is a line voltage (120 to 277 volt) control. Do not install this thermostat if you are not completely familiar and competent with electrical wiring. If improperly handled, there can be risk of 120 to 277 volt electric shock hazard that can cause serious injury or death.
Location
Install a vertical outlet box that is used to mount the T498, four to five feet (1.5m) above the floor on an inside wall where the thermostat will be subjected to average room temperature.
Mount the thermostat away from concealed warm or cold water pipes, warm air ducts, light switches and dimmers, refrigerators or drafts from hallways, fireplaces, stairways or fans.
Mounting and Wiring
When replacing an old line voltage electric heating thermostat, remove the old thermostat carefully to avoid damaging the insulation on the wiring.
Check the old insulation for cracks, nicks, or fraying and apply approved electrical tape where necessary to achieve adequate insulation, or replace the wires using approved methods.
Leave the cover on the thermostat while making connections.
Push the leadwires into the outlet box and insert the thermostat into the box for mounting by pushing against the cover.
Remove the thermostat cover by grasping the top and bottom edges and pulling outward.
Turn the dial so that the setpoint indicator is at the
12 o’clock position. This will prevent accidental damage to the dial stop during mounting.
Using a screwdriver, secure the thermostat to the outlet box by tightening the two mounting screws. Handle the thermostat with care; excessive pressure can damage the control knob or sensing element.
CAUTION
1.Disconnect power supply before making wiring connections to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
2.All wiring must comply with applicable codes and ordinances.
3Thermostats are designed to be used with a separate limit control in the appliance.
Using wire connectors approved for No. 12 wires, make line voltage wiring connections directly to the leadwires installed on the thermostat.
CAUTION
If connecting with aluminum conductors, use approved CO/ALR solderless wire connectors to avoid fire hazard.
