Disconnect power supply before beginning installation to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage.

MOUNTING

The R8285 mounts on a standard four inch square junction box. Make wiring connections in the junction box, then fasten the R8285 to the junction box by placing the junction box screws through the notches in the R8285 mounting plate.

NOTE: The R8285 must be mounted in an enclosure. The R8285 may be mounted in any position except with the mounting plate horizontal and the relay on top of the mounting plate.

WIRING

All wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances. Disconnect power before making wiring connections to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.

Make primary connections to line voltage power supply.
Make secondary connections to 24 Vac control circuit.
Refer 1o Fig. 1 for typical wiring diagram.

IMPORTANT: Only use Underwriters Laboratories Inc. listed connectors when making external circuit connections to the line voltage leadwires of this device.

Power supply. Provide disconnect means and overload protection as required.

Use optional hookup with isolating relay (dashed line) if heating control has a separate power supply. Isolation of the power supplies may also be accomplished by using special thermostat subbase combinations with isolated circuits (such as T87F-Q539A1147, T834A, T822A). Refer to specification sheets for details.

Checkout

Always conduct a thorough checkout when installation is complete. Operate the system through at least one complete cycle to ensure that the system equipment and the R8285 operate as intended.
