WARNING
All three of the thermostat models shown above control line voltage (125/250
VAC) directly. Do not attempt to install these unless you are completely
familiar with house wiring. If proper precautions are not followed, a risk of
electric shock may exist, possibly causing severe injury or death. Disconnect
power supply prior to removing existing thermostat or installing this one. Do
not connect to voltages different than the ratings listed above.
NOTE : The LV2 Double Pole heating only model may also be used in Single
Pole applications, however only the LINE 1 and LOAD 1 terminals must be used.
Only the LINE 1 and LOAD 1 terminals are switched during normal temperature
cycling.
All wiring performed must comply with applicable codes and ordinances to your
local area.
LOCATION:
The thermostat should be mounted in a standard 2 inch X 3 Inch Electrical Outlet Box. For Ease of installation, use a “deep” style box to assist in allowing room for the excess wires. A mounting location should be chosen where it will be constantly exposed to the average room temperature. The thermostat should also be located away from the following: concealed hot or cold water pipes, air ducts, hallway drafts, fireplaces, or stairways, to be able to sense temperature and control your heating or cooling equipment properly. For the heating only models, avoid positioning this thermostat in a location which is directly above any baseboard heating components, as this will cause erratic temperature control.
INSTALLATION:
[1] Disconnect the supply power before removing your old thermostat (if
applicable) and keep it off until after you have completed installing this
thermostat. Double check that the thermostat is rated for the voltage and
amperage to be switched. [2] If replacing an old thermostat, remove it
carefully to avoid damaging the wires or their insulation. Check the existing
wire insulation for cracks, nicks, or fraying and apply certified electrical
tape where necessary to achieve adequate insulation, or replace the wires in
an approved fashion. [3] For all three heating or cooling models, turn the
dial fully counter-clockwise prior to installing. [4] Use the diagrams shown
above as a guide to ensure a proper connection between your voltage supply and
your heating or cooling components, using the appropriate LINE and LOAD
designations. [5] Attach the connection wires using appropriately sized
solderless wire connectors (provided). Be sure that ALL wire connections are
securely tightened. [6] Ensure that the thermostat is appropriately connected
to the ground wire at the grounding screw on the rear of the thermostat
housing. [7] Carefully bend all of the solid conductors and push the excess
wire length to the rear of the electrical box to allow enough room for the
rear portion of the thermostat to be recessed into the box. Be sure that no
portions of the exposed ground wire are allowed to accidentally come in
contact with the LINE or LOAD terminals on the rear of the thermostat. [8]
Carefully push the thermostat all the way into the box opening, and mount the
thermostat to the box using appropriately sized mounting screws.
Ensure that the mounting screws will not project too far into the box and come
in contact with any of the wires causing a short circuit. [9] Once complete,
turn the power back on to your heating or cooling equipment and turn dial to
the desired temperature setting.
NOTE:
Model LV2 is intended for use on 250 or 277 volt heating systems where local
codes require that a double line disconnect thermostat be used. On the LV2
model, only LINE 1 is broken during normal temperature cycling of this
thermostat. Both LINE 1 and LINE 2 are broken when the dial is turned to the
OFF position.
