Mounting
Install controller in any convenient location. Make sure that the
sensing bulb reaches the system to be controlled. The ambient
temperature must not exceed 125°F (52°C) in the area where
the controller is installed.
Install the sensing element where it can sense the average
temperature. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the capillary tubing
that can affect the accuracy of the controller. Carefully coil the
excess capillary tubing and leave it directly beneath the
controller.

2. Using holder as template, mark and drill mounting holes.
3. Break off bulb holder to required length. (Be sure holder

Tank Installation
The sensing bulb can be inserted directly into a tank using a
compression fitting; or the bulb can be inserted into an immersion well (order separately), which is screwed into a tank or
boiler.
Select a location where liquid of average temperature can
circulate freely around the sensing bulb.
Using Compression Fitting (Fig. 3)
1. Drain system. Screw boiler plug into properly sized and
threaded boiler or pipe tapping.
2. Place packing nut on capillary tubing.
3. Slide sensing bulb completely through boiler plug.
4. Place composition disc and the four slotted brass
washers on capillary tubing.
5. Slide assembly into boiler plug and tighten packing nut.
6. Refill system and check for leaks. Neatly coil excess
capillary tubing.
Using Immersion Well (Fig. 4)
1. Drain system. Screw the well into threaded fitting.
2. Refill system and check for leaks.
3. Insert sensing bulb into well until it bottoms.
4. Fit bulb retaining clamp over immersion well flange and
capillary tubing, and tighten screw.

Cold Room Installation
Locate the bulb in freely circulating air in the controlled area or
on the suction side of a refrigerant line, and secure the bulb in
position.
Wiring (Fig. 5)
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and ordinances.
Two knockouts are provided, one at the top and one at the
bottom of the case for 1/2 in. conduit. Follow the wiring
instructions furnished with the heating or cooling system. For
replacement, make sure the new control is wired into the

OPERATION AND CHECKOUT
When the temperature at the sensing bulb rises above the
controller setpoint, a circuit is made between the R-W terminals. During a temperature fall, the R-W circuit breaks at the
setpoint temperature
minus
the switch differential. Controllers
with a B terminal break the B-R terminal circuit on a temperature rise to the setpoint. B-R makes again when R-W breaks on
a temperature drop. See Fig. 6.
For example, if a controller with a 3°F (1.7°C) differential is set
at 39°F (3.9°C), R-W makes when the bulb temperature rises to
39°F. Then during a temperature fall, R-W breaks when the
temperature drops to 35°F (1.7°C) (39°F minus the 3°F
differential [3.9°C minus the 1.7°C differential]).
On models with a B terminal, B-R makes when R-W breaks.
Then the temperature has to climb past the control differential
to the set point of 39°F (3.9°C) before the B-R circuit breaks
and the R-W circuit makes.

SETTING
Set the controller to the system manufacturer’s recommended
settings, if available.
Temperature Setpoint Knob—Turn the knob on the front of the
case until the pointer indicates the temperature to be maintained in the controlled medium.
Screw—Insert a flatheaded screwdriver into the slot on the
shaft, which is located in the center of the scaleplate. Turn the
screwdriver clockwiseto increase the temperature
control point. Turn the screwdriver counterclockwiseto
decrease the temperature control point.
Adjustable Differential—With the cover off, turn the differential
adjustment wheel (marked 3-6-9-12°F) until the desired
differential is aligned with the notch in the frame. See Fig. 7.
Calibration
All controllers are carefully tested and calibrated at the factory
under controlled conditions. If the controller is not operating at a
temperature corresponding to the scale and differential setting,
verify that the bulb senses the average temperature of the
medium. If the temperature of the controlled medium is
changing rapidly, the differential will appear wider than its
setting.
For calibration, take an accurate temperature reading of the
controlled medium. Place an accurate thermometer near the
bulb of the controller, or refer to a thermometer installed as part
of the system. If the bulb of the controller is installed in an
inaccessible area, or if the controlled medium is unstable,
remove the bulb and place in a controlled bath for accurate
calibration.
These controllers are calibrated so the dial setting is the point
at which the R-W switch contacts make (B-R contacts break)
on a temperature rise. Measure the temperature at the bulb.
Rotate the dial counterclockwisefrom the top of the
scale, simulating a temperature rise, until the R-W switch
contacts make. Note the dial reading. If it differs from the
setpoint, calibrate the dial as follows:
1. Determine the number of degrees difference between the
set point and the point at which the contacts make.
2. Remove the dial knob and slip the fingers of the calibration wrench into the slots of the dial. Rotate the dial until
the fingers of the wrench drop into the slots of the
calibration nut under the dial. Note the dial indication at
this point. Turn the dial and the calibration nut up or down
scale the number of degrees that the set point differs
from the point at which the contacts make (determined in
step 1). For example, move the dial from 45 to 65
degrees for a 20 degree change in calibration.
3. Check the calibration adjustment by moving the dial up
and down the scale while watching the contacts make
and break. If dial is still out of calibration, repeat calibration procedure.
4. To install tamper-resisting insert on TRADELINE®
model, remove screw from adjustment knob, remove
knob, and install insert.
