The TH 192 DN and DNV thermostats are proportional single output, dual setpoint,
2-pipe or 3-pipe (high air capacity) sensor controllers. Each thermostat includes a wall
mounting plate for installation in a variety of rough-in terminal boxes. Sensitive bimetals
respond to temperature change to modulate control air through a flapper nozzle. Two
setpoint dials are provided. When the supply air pressure changes from 18 to 25 psi
(124 to 172 kPa), the thermostat automatically switches from the day to the night
setpoint respectively. Air connections are made with 5/32” (4 mm) O.D. plastic tubing,
directly to the thermostat chassis for retrofit applications or with plug-in adapters
(provided with the TH 192 rough-in terminal box or optional accessories) which slide
into the wall mounting plate.
• Direct and reverse acting for day and night modes (DN models).

Application
TH 192 DN & DNV thermostats provide day to night (or weekend) temperature setback
to control pneumatic valve and damper actuators in heating and cooling applications
(Figure 1) such as air conditioners, space heaters, unit ventilators, and air volume
controllers.
The day-night thermostat is particularly useful in locations where all rooms in a zone are
not vacated at the same time. Using time clocks on evenings and weekends to reset the
control system to the night mode ensures optimum energy management. When a zone
is operating in maximum economy mode at night, an occupant can reset an individual
space to day temperature by switching a manual override. During night control, the TH
192 DNV provides a separate output signal (full air supply) which allows ventilation to
occur.
TH 192 DN & DNV thermostats maintain maximum economy and occupant comfort
automatically as a day progresses from the day time setpoint (65°F to 68°F, 18°C to
20°C) to the night time setpoint (55°F to 60°F, 13°C to 16°C). The thermostats are
available with covers that conceal or expose the setpoint adjustment dials.

Operation
Day-Night Operation
The TH 192 DN thermostat is either direct or reverse acting for both day and night
operating modes. In a direct acting thermostat, an increase in temperature increases
the control air pressure and a decrease in temperature decreases the control pressure.
In a reverse acting thermostat, an increase in temperature decreases the control air
pressure and a decrease in temperature increases the control pressure.
The TH 192 DN provides two separate bimetal elements; one for day temperature and
one for night temperature. Each bimetal element operates independently of the other.
Use of two different supply air pressures accomplishes changeover from day to night
temperature. A supply pressure of 18 psi (124 kPa) or 25 psi (172 kPa) positions a
changeover switch so a changeover relay operates in the day or night mode
respectively.
Manual Selector Switch
Day-Night-Vent
Operation
Figure 5. TH 192 DN and DNV Input/Output Characteristics.
A manual selector switch allows an individual thermostat to control at its day setting
even though the remainder of the system is controlling at its night setting.
•In the normal AUTO position, the manual selector switch does not interfere with air
passage to the changeover relay.
•To manually set the selector switch to the DAY position, push the selector in until it
latches and the handle points downward. In the latched DAY position, the manual
selector switch seals off air to the changeover relay.
•To manually reset the selector switch, rotate the handle until it unlatches and returns
to the normal AUTO position.
•Manual Selector Switch resets automatically when supply pressure changes back to
day time control.
The TH 192 DNV provides a supplementary air line connection at the back of the
thermostat.
NOTE: This third line feature cannot be added to a TH 192 DN in the field.
The vent line provides either 0 or 25 psi (0 or 172 kPa) pressure via the manual selector
switch to pilot auxiliary controls. For example, a unit ventilator can provide continuous
full day operation when the space is occupied and intermittent night operation when the
space is unoccupied.

Calibration
Changeover Point
Adjustment
1. Use a test thermometer to read the current room temperature.
2. Place a screwdriver in the center of the thermometer assembly (Figure 6). Carefully
rotate thermometer assembly until pointer tip indicates the correct room temperature.
NOTE: Avoid breathing on or touching the bimetal spiral since this influences the
temperature reading.
The changeover point is factory set to occur between 19 and 22 psi (131 and 152 kPa).
The changeover point can be field adjustable to occur between 14 and 22 psi (96 and
152 kPa).
1. Connect pressure gauge or manometer to measure supply pressure to thermostat.
Use 30 psi (207 kPa) supply through a positioning switch so pressu re can be fully
variable.
2. Determine current change over point. Turn day dial so day and night control
pressures are different. Then note the changeover point on the control gauge as the
supply pressure changes.
3. Remove thermometer for access to changeover adjust screw. Use a 1/16" Allen Hex
Key to adjust changeover adjust screw as follows:
a. If changeover is too high, turn off supply pressure and rotate changeover adjust
screw clockwise. One turn decreases changeover point by about 3 psi (20 kPa).
Turn on supply pressure and recheck to verify new changeover point.
b. If changeover is too low, turn off supply pressure and rotate changeover adjust
screw counterclockwise. One turn increases changeover point by about 3 psi
(20 kPa). Turn on supply pressure and recheck to verify new changeover point.

limit stops engage in the setpoint cam gear
teeth and cause interference between the
setpoint cam gear and the adjustment

To change limit stop settings, use needle
nose pliers to pull limit stop between the
setpoint cam gear teeth. Rotate limit stop
to its new position. Do not pull limit stop
any more than necessary to clear the gear
teeth. Changing the limit stop position one
gear tooth changes the limit stop setting by
1-1/3°F (0.7°C).
To change thermostat sensitivity, use a flat-blade
screwdriver to carefully move the sensitivity slide to
the desired position as follows:

Thermostat
Calibration
Day Time Calibration
The thermostat is factory calibrated to a control pressure of 7.5 psi (52 kPa) when the
setpoint and the ambient temperature are both at 72°F (22°C). The factory sensitivity
setting is approximately 2.5 psi/°F (31 kPa/°C). No adjustments are required if these
settings are appropriate for the application. If the thermostat has been tampered, the
sensitivity changed, or is out of adjustment, use the following steps to re-calibrate the
instrument.
Step 1 —
Remove cover using 192-632
calibration tool. Verify room
temperature is between 70 and 80°F
(21 and 27°C).
Step 2 —
Verify that supply pressure is 18 psi (124 kPa).
Set daytime dial to room temperature by turning
the exposed adjustment knob or using a hex key
as shown. Allow thermostat to stand for about five
minutes to adjust to the new setting.
Step 3 —
Moisten needle and insert 192-633
test gauge and needle adapter in the
test port. Read control pressure.
Step 4 —
If control pressure does not read 7 to 8 psi (48 to
55 kPa), turn calibration screw using 192-632
calibration tool or 1/8” (3.2 mm) wrench until
pressure is 7 to 8 psi (48 to 55 kPa). The sensing
element is now in calibration and the setpoint can
be changed to the desired room temperature.

Night Time Calibration
Step 1 —
If not already done, remove cover
using 192-632 calibration tool. Verify
room temperature is between 70 and
80°F (21 and 27°C).
Step 2 —
Verify that supply pressure is 25 psi (172 kPa).
Set nighttime dial to room temperature by turning
the exposed adjustment knob or using a hex key
as shown. Allow thermostat to stand for about five
minutes to adjust to the new setting.
Step 3 —
