DUAL BULB SELECTION

On the dual bulb units, indoor and outdoor bulbs are determined by the ratio selected (see T able-2). Ratio refers to the outdoor air temperature change compared to the water temperature change. The dial setpoint is the water temperature setpoint when the outdoor temperature is 70°F.
T o select ratio, it is necessary to know only: (1) outdoor design temperature, (2) maximum water temperature at outdoor design temperature, and (3) desired water temperature at 70°F outdoors. Use Table-3 to determine the required ratio based on this information and set the dial per item (3).
Note: If a 1-1/2:1 ratio is selected, the extra di al sup p l ied with the unit must be used.
Example: Select ratio for an installation with a -10°F design temperature and estimated supply water temperature of 75°F at 70°F outdoors and 125°F at -10°F outdoors. From Table-3,
-10°F for 1-1/2:1 ratio, note by interpolation (70°F to 123°F with dial at 70°F, 80°F to 133°F with dial at 80°F) that water temperature varies from 75°F to 128°F as outdoor temperature drops from 70°F to -10°F.
For this application, the 1-1/2:1 ratio should be selected. The extra dial supplied with the unit would be used, and the dial set at 75°F.

Procedure for Remote Bulb Mounting

Air Bulb Models — Mounting in Return Air Duct
1. Remove cover and provide two holes for #10 round head screws using the housing as the template or by using the dimensions shown in Figure-2.
2. Partially insert the mounting screws in the screw holes. Fit the housing over the screws, slide housing down on the screws and tighten the screws.
Air Bulb Models — Mounting Outside of Return Air Duct
1. Prepare duct for mounting by cutting hole and providing mounting screw holes per Figure-2.
2. Fabricate a cover as shown in Figure-3.
3. Carefully roll bulbs toward back of unit and insert through 2-1/4" x 2-1/2" (57 mm x 64 mm) hole.
4. Remove cover and attach unit to duct with #10 screws.
5. Attach cover over 2-1/4" x 2-1/2" (57 mm x 64 mm) hole.

CHECKOUT

After installing a thermostat, make an initial check of the switching action. Verify the switch action by listening to the switch contacts.
1. Turn the setpoint dial to a tempera ture above ambient. This should cause the thermostat to switch, making orange to brown.
2. Turn the setpoint dial setting down gradually. Orange to brown must break, making orange to red.
3. Compare the differential of the device to the differential shown on the performance charts by turning the dial. The differential of the device is the difference in dial reading between the make of orange to brown and the make of orange to red on single switch units.

ADJUSTMENTS

To adjust interstage differential:
1. Disconnect power to unit.
2. Remove cover.
3. Turn adjustor to approximately desired position.
4. Check out by turning dial and noting dial readings where switch contacts make.
5. After changing interstage differential, recalibrate. See CALIBRATION.

CALIBRATION

1. With all power disconnected, soak bulb(s) for 10 minutes at known temperature (must be 70°F for dual bulb).
2. Turn dial and note where switch contacts make.
3. Turn dial midway between click points.
4. Turn the calibration nut (located under dial) until the temperature of the bulb is indicated on the dial (see Figure-15).
Note: On two stage units follow above procedure. LO switch is first stage on cooling applications. HI switch is first stage on heating applications.

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance of the total system is needed to assure sustained optimum performance. Thermostats should be periodically inspected for dirt or blockage of air over the elements.
Setpoint
Screwdriver adjustment. Scales dual marked °F on front and °C on back. To change scale, remove spring retaining ring,
select scale and replace retaining ring.
Differential
The differential is adjustable by turning the adjustor located on the side of the device (see Figure-15).
