INSTALLATION & OPERATION

THERMOSTAT LOCATION

For accurate temperature control and comfort, correct location is very important.  On new installations, the guidelines listed below should be followed as closely as possible. When replacing an old thermostat, install the new one in the same location unless these conditions suggest otherwise.

1. Locate the thermostat on an inside wall about five feet above the floor, where it is easy to install and adjust. It should be in a room that is used often, such as a family room.
2. Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as direct sunlight, close to a lamp, radio, television, radiator, register, near a fireplace, or other heat producing appliance. Also, check for hot water pipes within the wall, or a stove on the other side of the wall.
3. Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as on an outside wall, or one separating an unheated room, or in drafts from stairwells, doors, or windows.
4. Do not locate in a damp or humid area. This can shorten thermostat life due to corrosion.
5. Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as in a corner, alcove, or behind an open door.
6. Do not install until all construction work and painting have been completed.

TOOLS REQUIRED

Wirestripper or knife, drill with 3⁄16″ bit, screwdriver, level and a pencil.

REMOVING OLD THERMOSTAT

Please read all instructions carefully. As you complete each step, check the adjoining square.

• Disconnect electricity and turn off gas to the heater.
• Remove cover from old thermostat.
• Loosen all screws.
• Disconnect wires from thermostat, making sure they do not fall back inside the wall.
• Strip insulation 3⁄8″ from wire ends and clean off any corrosion.
• Fill wall opening with non-combustible insulation to prevent drafts from affecting thermostat.

INSTALLING NEW THERMOSTAT

• Place new decorative wall plate (if supplied), Figure 3, over wall opening. Decorative wall plate can optionally be left off.
• Remove Front Cover of new thermostat by inserting a finger in the side of the thermostat and gently prying away each corner. Place Base, Figure 2, on wall plate over wall opening. Mark wall with pencil at mounting holes as shown in Figure 2. Now lay wall plate and base to the side.
• Drill two holes with 3⁄16″ bit, 1″ deep.
• Insert plastic screw anchors into drilled holes, flush with wall surface.
• Bring wires through large hole in decorative wall plate and through Hole For Wires in Base. Fasten Base loosely to wall using two mounting screws. Place a level against the bottom of the Base, adjust until it is level and then tighten mounting screws to secure the Base.
• Attach wires to terminal screws shown in Figure 2. (Either wire to either terminal) Push excess wire back into wall opening.
• Find anticipator setting on old thermostat. Setting on new thermostat should be the same. Do this by carefully sliding the long pointer on the anticipator over the desired number. If old anticipator setting cannot be determined, look on gas control on furnace, or set it at .6. During heating season, furnace should operate about five times an hour. If adjustments are necessary, move heat anticipator pointer slightly and recheck. NOTE: Set pointer to 1.2 for millivolt systems.
• Attach front cover, Figure 1, to base.
• Turn the electricity and gas back on and set pointer on top of thermostat to desired temperature.

A thermostat can only control temperature near it. If you find that it is uncomfortable some distance away from the thermostat, change the setting in order to compensate for this.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 4.75 by 4.75 inch wall plate included?****

Yes, a trim plate is included in the packing for the T10-1141SA.

Does it function with a 220 heater?****

No. A heater powered by 220V or 110V will not function with it. Low voltage 24VAC or 24VDC is what this is for.

Any of you use this for a month, turn it off for the summer, and then turn on your heater? The heater technician claimed that it was broken.****

If the room temperature falls below the T10-lowest 1141SA’s set point temperature of 50 degrees, the heater will turn on. This thermostat does not have an OFF setting.

Can a pellet stove be turned on and off using this?****

The stove will function if the input is millvolts. Without it, it won’t.

Can you connect this to a propane heater and plug it in underneath your heater so that it only turns on when there is heat?****

A propane heater on a millivolt system can be run by the T10-1141SA. The thermostat will be mounted on a wall at least 15 feet distant from the heater rather than underneath it.

Does this function in an RV?****

Yes, the T10-1141SA can run a heating-only 12 volt system, but the heating system needs to be turned off during transit. The heating only house thermostat does not have a positive OFF switch to interrupt the heating circuit, whereas RV-specific thermostats have. This is necessary to prevent contacts from chatting while the RV is moving.

Is there a “off” switch or off position on this thermostat?****

There is no off switch; to turn off, simply move the temperature dial all the way down. Also, I found this thermostat to be very unstable.

Does this function with a Trane furnace?****

It is a 24V AC or DC universal thermostat. It ought to function at voltages lower than 24V.

Will this work with an electric baseboard heater from the 1970s?****

This thermostat has a maximum voltage range of 24 to 30 vac. You can use this thermostat as long as the electric baseboard heating has thin gauge wires connecting it to the thermostat and its voltage does not exceed 30 volts. Use our model LV1 or LV2 if you discover that this is a line voltage unit (120 to 240 volts) for this application.
