Terminal Description
CHECKOUT
1. Verify the system voltage.
2. Make sure the fan switch and the system switch voltages are the same.
3. If a transformer is being used make sure it is large enough to support the current
demands of all controls wired to the transformer.
4. Make sure devices being controlled do not exceed the power handling ability of the
T155. Refer to Table-1 for current handling specifications.
5. If a remote sensor (thermistor) is in use, make sure pin pair jumper cap, JP1, has been
removed.
6. When verifying system operation connect a voltmeter in parallel across the heat output
terminal, TB3-1, and common terminal, TB1-4. Read the meter to verify whether the
output is powered when it should be. In cooling mode check for voltage across cooling
terminal, TB3-2 and common terminal, TB1-4.
THEORY OF OPERATION
All T155 models are electronic thermostats. A variable resistance device called a thermistor
senses the room temperature and sends a resistance value to the T155. For example: in
heat mode, the T155 measures the temperature represented by the resistance value of the
onboard thermistor (or remote thermistor if used). If the sensed temperature value drops 1F
(0.6C) or more degrees below the set point the heating output will be powered. A valve or
damper opens to heat the space. When the temperature reaches the set point the heating
output will be turned off, closing the valve or damper. The 155 series thermostats maintain
temperatures with a 1F (0.6C) degree differential in both heating and cooling.
MAINTENANCE
The T155 series requires no maintenance. Replace defective units.
Regular maintenance of the total system is recommended to assure sustained, optimum
performance.
FIELD REPAIR
None. Replace any damaged or failed units with functional replacements.
