INSTALLATION
When Installing this Product...
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
them could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the
product to make sure the product is suitable for your
application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
4. After installation is complete, check out product
operation as provided in these instructions.
IMPORTANT
All wiring must agree with applicable codes,
ordinances and regulations.
Sensor Location
The sensor can be located up to 400 feet (122 meters) from
the T7079 using standard AWG 18/2 unshielded wire. The
sensor may be attached to pipes, in an immersion well, in a
wall-mounted case or on a bulb holder.
NOTES:
—For cable runs greater than 25 feet, shielded cable
is recommended.
—Multiple sensors can be parallel-series wired to
sense average temperatures in large spaces.
See Fig. 2.
—To maintain control accuracy, the number of
sensors wired parallel-series must be n
2
(examples: 4, 9, 16).

IMPORTANT
The T7079 is an operation control, not a limit or safety
control. If used in applications requiring safety or limit
controls, use a separate safety or limit control device
in conjunction with the T7079.
Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can shock individuals or short equipment
circuitry.
Disconnect power supply before installation.
Location and Mounting
Mount the controller on a convenient interior location using the
three mounting holes provided on the back of the enclosure
(mounting screws are not provided and must be obtained
separately). Use controller dimensions in Fig. 1 as a guide.
Mount the sensor(s) in one of the following manners:
— Hot/cold water sensing: Strap sensor to a pipe or insert in a
well (see Fig. 3).
— Space temperature sensing: Mount on a wall or panel
(see Fig. 4).
— Duct air sensing: Tape to a standard cap or bulb holder.

Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can shock individuals or short equipment
circuitry.
Disconnect power supply before installation.
Refer to Fig. 5 for locating the appropriate power input, remote
sensor input and stage output terminals. To access the
terminals, remove the four cover screws and lift off the cover.
Refer to Fig. 6 and 7 for typical wiring.
IMPORTANT
Erratic temperature readings from the sensor can be
caused by poor wiring practices that must be avoided
to ensure proper operation:
1. Do not route the temperature sensor wiring with building power wiring.
2. Do not locate the temperature sensor wiring next to
control contactors.
3. Do not locate the temperature sensor wiring near
electrical motors.
4. Do not locate the temperature sensor wiring near
welding equipment.
5. Make sure good mechanical connections are made to
both the sensor and the control.
6. Use 90°C copper wire.

NOTES:
1.The larger conduit knockout on the enclosure
bottom is for line-voltage applications.
2.The smaller knockout on the enclosure bottom is
for low-voltage applications.
When used in heating mode, the relay is:
— Energized at setpoint minus differential on temperature fall.
— De-energized at setpoint on temperature rise.
When used in cooling mode, the relay is:
— Energized at setpoint plus differential on temperature rise.
— De-energized at setpoint on temperature fall.
NOTE: Each stage LED lights when its stage is energized.
The power LED lights when the controller is
connected to 120/230 or 24 Vac.

TWO-STAGE HEAT
1. Set ST1 and ST2 switches to HEAT.
2. Set interstage (INTER) and differential (DIFF1, DIFF2) to
desired settings.
3. Position the setpoint knob at the setting for stage 1.
TWO-STAGE COOL
1. Set ST1 and ST2 switches to COOL.
2. Set interstage (INTER) and differential (DIFF1, DIFF2) to
desired settings.
3. Position the setpoint knob at the setting for stage 1.
ONE-STAGE HEAT/ONE-STAGE COOL
1. Set ST1 switch to HEAT and ST2 switch to COOL.
2. Set interstage (INTER) and differential (DIFF1, DIFF2) to
desired settings.
3. Position the setpoint knob at the setting for stage 1.
NOTE: See Fig. 9 for an example setup.
Differential (Stage and Interstage)
Adjustment
The stage and interstage differential values are adjusted using
the internal potentiometers (see Fig. 8). Values for setting are
marked on the inside cover:
— Minimum stage differential (DIFF1 or DIFF2): 1°F.
— Interstage differential: 0°F to 35°F.
NOTES:
—Actual minimum differential is typically between
1°F and 4°F. It is influenced by device tolerances
and the rate of temperature change.
—The setpoint knob setting is the stage 1 setpoint.
—The stage 2 setpoint is created using the stage 1
setpoint and the interstage differential:
— When stage 2 is used for heating, the stage 2
setpoint is the stage 1 setpoint minus the interstage differential.
— When stage 2 is used for cooling, the stage 2
setpoint is the stage 1 setpoint plus the interstage differential.
