INSTALLATION

If the thermostat is used with unit heaters, the following

suggestions may help. (See Fig. 2).

 

POST

1.

Position “A” is good if it is sufficiently close to the unit

 

 

 

 

 

heater so that the return air to the heater flows over the

 

UNIT

 

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

D

C

 

heater that air flowing over the thermostat is not much

 

RETURN AIR

 

above the average room temperature.

 

 

 

4.

In general, position “D” is not advisable because the

post may prevent air from circulating over the thermo-

Diagram showing a single room thermostat controlling several steam or hot water unit heaters. Any number of unit heaters can be operated from one thermostat pro- vided that the sum of the motor locked rotor currents or the sum of the full load currents does not exceed the electrical rating of the thermostat. The Type 11B09 Reverse-acting Surface Hot Water Control is used to prevent operation of the fans when the steam is off or when the water temperature is too low for proper heating.

The diagram at the right shows a heavy duty line voltage room thermostat controlling an electric heater.
