FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

These low voltage thermostats are specially designed for
use on self-generating systems. They are non-antici­pated, enabling them to be used on self-generated sys­tems having pilot generator outputs from 250 to 750
millivolts.

PRECAUTIONS

If in doubt about whether your wiring is millivolt, line, or low
voltage, have it inspected by a qualified heating and air
conditioning contractor, electrician, or someone familiar
with basic electricity and wiring.

Do not exceed the specification ratings.
All wiring must conform to local and national electrical

codes and ordinances.

ATTENTION!

This product contains mercury. There will not be any exposure to mercury under normal conditions of use. This product may replace a unit
which contains mercury. Do not open mercury cells. If a cell becomes damaged, do not touch any spilled mercury. Wearing non-absorbent
gloves, take up the spilled mercury with sand or other absorbent material and place into a container which can be sealed. If a cell becomes
damaged, the unit should be discarded. Mercury must not be discarded in household trash. When this unit or the unit it is replacing is to be
discarded, place in a suitable container and return to us at WHITE-RODGERS.

This control is a precision instrument, and should be
handled carefully. Rough handling or distorting compo­nents could cause the control to malfunction.

CAUTION

!

To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment
damage, disconnect electric power to system, at
main fuse or circuit breaker box, until installation
is complete.

Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary
control to test. Short or incorrect wiring will burn
out heat anticipator and could cause personal
injury and/or property damage.

WARNING

!

Do not use on circuits exceeding 750 millivolts.
Higher voltage will damage control and could
cause shock or fire hazard.

INSTALLATION

SELECT THERMOSTAT LOCATION

Proper location insures that the thermostat will provide a
comfortable home temperature. Observe the following
general rules when selecting a location:

1. Locate thermostat about 5 ft. above the floor.

2. Install thermostat on a partitioning wall, not on an
outside wall.

3. Never expose thermostat to direct light from lamps,
sun, fireplaces or any temperature radiating equip­ment.

4. Avoid locations close to windows, adjoining outside
walls, or doors that lead outside.

5. Avoid locations close to air registers or in the direct
path of air from them.

6. Make sure there are no pipes or duct work in that part
of the wall chosen for the thermostat location.

7. Never locate thermostat in a room that is warmer or
cooler than the rest of the home, such as the kitchen.

8. Avoid locations with poor air circulation, such as be­hind doors or in alcoves.

9. The living or dining room is normally a good location,
provided there is no cooking range or refrigerator on
opposite side of wall.

Temperature Range: 10° to 32°C (50° to 90°F)
Differential: 1.7°C (3°F)

ROUTE WIRES TO LOCATION

1. If an old thermostat is being replaced and is in a
satisfactory location, and the wiring appears to be in
good condition, use existing wiring. If in doubt, rewire.

2. If a new location is chosen or if this is a new installation,
thermostat wire must first be run to the location se­lected. All wiring must conform with local and national
electrical codes and ordinances.

NOTE

Because of the small amount of power available on self­generating systems, the gas valve may not operate if
there is too much resistance in the circuit. Therefore,
choose a location that does not require any more wire
than the recommended lengths shown in the Thermostat

Wire Length Table.

3. Probe for obstructions in partition before drilling 1⁄2”
hole in wall at selected location. Take up quarter round
and drill a small guide hole for sighting (see Fig. 1).
From basement, drill 3⁄4” hole in partition floor next to
guide hole. In houses without basements, drill 1⁄2” hole
through ceiling and into partition from above (see Fig.

1).

4. Through this hole drop a light chain, or 6” chain
attached to a strong cord. Snag cord in basement with
hooked wire. In houses without basements, drop cord
through hole in ceiling and down partitioning; snag
cord at the thermostat location.

5. Attach thermostat wire to cord and pull wire through
hole in wall so that 6” of wire protrudes.

CAUTION

!

To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment
damage, disconnect electric power to system, at
main fuse or circuit breaker box, until installation
is complete.

NOTE

This typical wiring diagram shows only terminal identifica­tion and wiring hook-up. Always refer to the wiring instruc­tions provided by the equipment manufacturer for system
hook-up.

All wiring should be installed according to local and
national electrical codes and ordinances.

ATTACHING THERMOSTAT

1. Remove cover from thermostat by gripping the base in
one hand. Use the other hand to pull gently at the top
or bottom of the cover.

2. Carefully remove the shipping protective packing from
the switch.

3. Pull wires through the opening in the thermostat base
and connect wires beneath the terminal screws (see
Fig. 2 & 3).

4. Push excess wiring back into wall and plug hole with
fire resistant material (such as fiberglass insulation) to
prevent drafts from affecting thermostat operation.

5. Position thermostat base over hole in wall and mark
mounting hole location on wall.

6. Drill mounting hole.

7. Fasten base loosely to wall using mounting screws.
Place a level against the top of the thermostat base,
adjust until level, and tighten mounting screws to
secure base. If holes in wall are too large and do not
allow you to tighten the mounting screws securely, use
plastic expansion plugs.

8. Snap cover on the thermostat base and set tempera­ture lever to desired setpoint.

9. Turn on electrical power to system.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

CALIBRATING THERMOMETER ON

THERMOSTAT COVER

If thermometer reading on cover does not match the
thermostat:

1. Remove thermostat cover.

2. Set cover on table near an accurate thermometer.

3. Allow at least 10 minutes for thermometer to sense
room temperature.

4. If the thermometer readings are the same, replace
thermostat cover.

5. If the thermometer readings are different, insert a small
screwdriver blade into the thermometer shaft in the
back of the cover. Adjust until the cover thermometer
matches the other thermometer (See Fig. 4).

6. Replace thermostat cover.
