Calibrating Thermometer on Thermostat Cover

CALIBRATING THERMOMETER ON

THERMOSTAT COVER

If thermometer reading on cover does not match thermostat:

1.Remove thermostat cover.

2.Set cover on table near an accurate thermometer.

3.Allow at least 10 minutes for thermometer to sense room temperature.

4.If the thermometer readings are different, insert a small screwdriver blade into the thermometer shaft in the back of the cover. Adjust until the cover thermometer matches the other thermometer (see Fig. 5).

5.Replace thermostat cover.

CALIBRATING THERMOSTAT

This thermostat has been carefully adjusted at the factory and should not require recalibration.

Due to enivronmental conditions, during normal operation there may be a few degrees difference between the indicator setting of the thermostat and actual room temperature. If the disagreement is appreciable, however, first make sure that the thermostat is properly located and leveled. Then, if recalibration still seems necessary, proceed as follows:

CAUTION

To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage, disconnect electric power to system until recalibration is complete.

1.The anticipator's heat may adversely affect thermostat recalibration. To prevent this, disconnect electrical power to thermostat at furnace, main fuse, or breaker box.

2.Move temperature adjustment lever to a setting about 5° above room temperature.

3.Remove thermostat cover. Slip 7/32" wrench onto hex nut beneath bimetal. While holding temperature adjustment lever stationary, turn hex nut clockwise until mercury shifts to right end of tube (see Fig. 6).

4.Move temperature adjustment lever to lowest setting.

5.Replace thermostat cover. Wait 10 minutes for bimetal temperature to stabilize. Do not stand near thermostat during this period as your breath and body heat will affect bimetal temperature.

6.Move temperature adjustment lever to correspond to actual room temperature. Then remove thermostat cover.

7.Slip 7/32" wrench onto hex nut. While holding temperature adjustment lever stationary, turn hex nut counterclockwise until mercury just barely shifts to left end of tube (see Fig. 6).

8.Replace cover and set thermostat to desired temperature. Turn on electrical power to system.
