GENERAL INFORMATION:
This thermostat is designed to provide the best room temperature control for residential heating. For use on 120 / 208 / 240 Volt AC or up to 30 Volts DC and a
total of 16 Amps per pole and controls two electrical circuits at the same time.
Be safe and smart! Electricity can cause severe injury or death if not treated with respect and caution.
This thermostat will provide years of comfort control for your family in use with electric heaters that need a two circuit control.
OPERATION:
This precision electronic thermostat uses a very sensitive thermistor near the bottom to sense room air temperature, sending the information on to the
microprocessor. As the temperature drops, the information sent will indicate if heat is needed. To reduce any undesirable fast on/off cycles, the processor has a
built-in delay, up to 3 minutes. This saves energy and provides the best temperature control of an area. The thermostat will control two circuits of heaters until
the room reaches temperature, then shutting off waiting for the room temperature to drop again.
This thermostat requires batteries and will have a one minute back-up when replacing old batteries. HP only: The default program setting is 62°F set back,
70°F set up and a standard work week timing when powered up. The day and time of day can be adjusted by selecting the TIME position and using the
arrow keys. For temperature override, the Up arrow increases temperature and the Down arrow reduces temperature without any need to readjust the
programming.
The thermostat may take a few hours to stabilize to the room temperature; Do not be alarmed when the thermostat does not show the correct temperature
immediately after installation.
INSTALLATION:
This line voltage device should be installed and serviced by a qualified electrician. The thermostat has been designed to mount to a standard 2" x 4" electrical
outlet box. Leveling of the thermostat is not required. #6-32 Phillips head mounting screws are provided and captive ready to install.
Mount the thermostat in an open area about 5 feet above the floor, avoiding outside walls as they are too cold and will inhibit the thermostat’s performance. A
good rule of thumb is to place the thermostat above the wall switch for that room. This works well for most bedrooms, making it very convenient to turn the heat
lower upon leaving. Avoid mounting the thermostat where there may be plumbing pipes in the wall, or placing a lamp or TV too close to the thermostat. Heat
from such items negatively effects the thermostat’s performance.
DIFFERENTIAL:
This thermostat has a user adjustable differential between 1° and 4°. Press HOLD and the temperature Up and Down arrows at the same time for 5
seconds. Then press the up or down to adjust the differential. You can experiment with different settings until you find the one that best controls your space.
Suggested settings are in the programming instructions.
CAUTION: More than one circuit breaker feeds this device. Turn off both before installing or sevicing.

READ CAREFULLY - These instructions were written to help prevent difficulties that might arise during thermostat
installation. Studying the instructions first may save considerable time and money later. Observing the following
procedures will keep installation time to a minimum. Save these instructions for future use.
Thank you for buying this King thermostat. It should provide years of service and comfort to your home. Inspect the package. Enclosed should be the
thermostat with its cover and two screws.
1. Check the total load of the load being connecting to the thermostat. The maximum wattage per pole at 240 Volt is 3840 Watts, 208 Volt is 3328
Watts, 120 Volt is 1920 Watts and 16 Amps/480 Watts at 30 Volt DC per switch. It is important to stay below this total wattage when connecting
the thermostat. Lower wattage prolongs the the life of the contacts in the relay.
2. To wire the thermostat determine which wires are coming from the breaker panel and which wires lead to the heater wire per diagram.
3. Remove cover of thermostat by placing thumb on LCD display and fingers on top edge of cover. Pull towards you. This will expose the top
mounting screw. Put thumb on the lower part of the battery cover and pull down to expose mounting screw and battery compartment.
4. There may be a pair of white wires connected in your junction box. If so, leave them alone and work with the black wires.
5. Take a black power lead and attach it to the yellow lead on the thermostat. Repeat for the other black lead but attach to red lead on thermostat.
6. Attach the black leads that feed the heater to the remaining red and yellow leads. Both circuits will be controlled by one thermostat. Make sure
you have the proper phases together by using a voltmeter.
7. Push the wires carefully into the junction box making sure no wires are pinched or will obstruct the screws mounting the thermostat. Now attach
the thermostat to the wall using the #6-32 Phillips head screws provided. Do not over tighten screws.
8. Install AA batteries to start display. Replace cover. Batteries operate relay and display only; they are not charged by line voltage power and
should last one year. A half-filled battery shape icon saying “Lo” will appear on the LCD to indicate battery replacement is necessary.
9. Turn on power. Test by increasing set point to higher than current room temperature by tapping the Up button. There will be up to a 3 minute
delay in turning on. You will hear a small click and “Heater On” will appear in the LCD; the heater should be on now. Turn the thermostat down
by tapping on the Down arrow. You will hear a small click and the heater will be off.
10. You have now verified the thermostat is in perfect working order and ready for years of trouble-free operation.
11. Mounting tips: Make sure nothing is nearby (plumbing pipes in the wall, a lamp close by, direct sunlight, a T.V. set, and/or cold
drafts from a door opening) that could affect the average room temperature sensing of the thermostat. Typically the best, most convenient
location is on inside walls above the light switch for that room. Do not install on an outside wall if possible.
12. Cleaning: Canned compressed air works great to clear any dust accumulation, while a damp cloth will additionally clean the plastic case surface
of finger prints. Strong spray cleaners may damage the plastic case or remove writing or arrows screen-printed on buttons. Blow out any dust
that may accumulate on top or bottom air vents. Good air circulation is key to long life and accurate operation.
13. Humid locations: Mildly humid location like bathrooms may reduced life due to corrosion on the contact and lint from towels getting into
thermostat air vents. To extend life blow out vent regularly and mount thermostat away from shower locations or other high humidity areas.
