Precautions
- Do not exceed the specification ratings.
- All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes and ordinances.
- This control is a precision instrument, and should be handled carefully. Rough handling or distorting components could cause the control to malfunction.
- Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage.
- Higher voltage will damage control and could cause shock or fire hazard.
- Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary control to test. Short or incorrect wiring will burn out thermostat and could cause personal injury and/or property damage.
- To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage, disconnect electrical power to system, at main fuse or circuit breaker box, until installation is complete.
- To prevent compressor and/or property damage, if the outdoor temperature is below 50°F,
- DO NOT operate the cooling system.
- Do not allow the compressor to run unless the compressor oil heaters have been operational for 6 hours and the system has not been operational for at least 5 minutes.
