Bulb and Capillary Thermostat 

Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Instructions

1.0 Handling

	1.1 	Handle with care to avoid damage to thermostat terminals,
         		capillary tube, and sensing bulb

	1.2  	Refer to Application Data link for additional information
		related to system design and use instructions
	
2.0 Safety

	2.1 	WARNING: Make sure power supply is turned off before 
	      	installation or service of thermostat to prevent electrical

	      	shock or damage to equipment.

	2.2 	WARNING: Circuit should have separate disconnect means 
            		which shall be capable of being locked in the open position
	      	and also in sight from the thermostat and heater system.

	2.3 	WARNING: Wiring must conform to the National Electric
 	      	Code and Local Regulations and should be performed by a
 	      	a qualified electrician. Make sure wiring is of a suitable 
	      	temperature rating, amperage rating, and the location.

	2.4 	WARNING: When servicing, handle with caution, heater(s)
	      	that are installed near the thermostat bulb may be hot.

	2.5 	WARNING: Thermostat switch body should be installed in a
		suitable enclosure. 

3.0 Installation and Operation

	3.1 	Caution: Make sure the supply voltage is the is within the
		rated voltage of the thermostat.

	3.2 	Caution: Thermostat switch frame should be properly
		grounded to prevent electrical shock hazard

	3.3 	Make sure the amperage load to be switched by the
		thermostat is within the amperage rating of the thermostat
		at the applied voltage. Amperage loads exceeding the
		thermostat rating must be switched through an additional
		contactor or relay

	3.4  	Make sure that no dripping from condensation on cold water
		pipes or other sources can fall on any exposed electrical 
		wiring connections or components.

	3.5  	Terminations should be properly tightened and connected
	        	to hook-up wiring. A loose connection will result in over-
	        	heating at the connection and could lead to premature 
	        	failure. 

4.0 Maintenance

	4.1	For most applications, no thermostat maintenance is 

		required.

	4.2   	Disconnect line switch prior to any testing or work on the 

		thermostat.

	4.3 	Recheck wiring periodically to ensure wiring has not become 

		damaged, worn, or loose due to vibration or other 

		application related conditions. Tighten, repair, or replace

		as needed.

5.0 Trouble Shooting

	5.1	WARNING: Disconnect power supply to thermostat before

		performing any trouble shooting procedures.

	5.2   	Check supply voltage to thermostat to ensure there is

		power.

	5.3  	Check wiring circuit- make sure thermostat is properly 

		wired. 

	5.4 	Check continuity with a meter- thermostat should open and

		close at the set point temperature (allow for tolerance).
