INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION INSTALLING PERSONNEL
As a professional installer you have an obligation to know the
product better than the customer. This includes all safety pre-
cautions and related items.
Prior to actual installation, thoroughly familiarize yourself with
this Instruction Manual. Pay special attention to all safety warn-
ings. Often during installation or repair it is possible to place
yourself in a position which is more hazardous than when the
unit is in operation.
Remember, it is your responsibility to install the product safely
and to know it well enough to be able to instruct a customer in
its safe use.
Safety is a matter of common sense...a matter of thinking be-
fore acting. Most dealers have a list of specific good safety
practices...follow them.
The precautions listed in this Installation Manual are intended
as supplemental to existing practices. However, if there is a
direct conflict between existing practices and the content of
this manual, the precautions listed here take precedence.
DESCRIPTION
This single pole double throw thermostat device with adjust-
able 0° to 45° temperature range is employed in conjunction
with the room thermostat to control the electric heaters that
have been added to cooling and heat pump products. This kit
includes an Outdoor Thermostat, three wires, mounting bracket,
(3) wire caps, and (2) self-drilling screws.
Note: If the outdoor ambient temperature is below 0° F (-18°
C) with 50% or higher Relative Humidity, an Outdoor Thermo-
stat must be installed and set at (0º F) on the dial. Failure to
comply wth this requirement may result in damage to the prod-
uct which may not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
See Figures 12 and 15 for wiring connections.
The schematic and the terminal view of this device is shown in
Figure 2:
When used as an outdoor thermostat to control increments of
electric heat, connections will be made to terminals 2 and 1.
As temperature rises above the set point contacts 2 to 1 will
open thus preventing the controlled increment of supplemental
heat from operating. As outdoor temperature falls below the
set point contacts 2 to 1 will close allowing the controlled in-
crement of heat to operate. See Figures 10, 11, 13, and 14 for
wiring connections.
Use the wires supplied for Outdoor Thermostat connections. If
the installation is with an All Fuel kit, refer to the Installation
Instructions supplied with the AFE18 All Fuel kit for wiring con-
nections.
INSTALLATION
The outdoor thermostat is designed to be installed in the space
allocated in the control box of the cooling and heat pump units.
