White Rodgers 151 installation instructions Wiring, Setting the Dial

INSTALLATION CONT.

IMPORTANT

When control is located where ambient temperature is below freezing, choose a control location far enough away from doors and windows so that moisture will not condense on control.

If the thermostat is used with unit coolers, the following suggestions may help. (See Fig. 2).

1.Position “A” is good if it is sufficiently close to the unit cooler so that the return air to the cooler flows over the thermostat.

2.Position “B” is good if it is not necessary to make frequent adjustments of the dial setting.

3.Position “C” is all right if it is sufficiently far from the cooler that air flowing over the thermostat is not much above the average room temperature.

4.In general, position “D” is not advisable because the post may prevent air from circulating over the thermo- stat.
