This programmable thermostat can be used to control an electric
heating system such as an electric baseboard heater, a radiant ceil-
ing, a radiant floor, a convector or a fan-forced heater.
The thermostat cannot be used with:
• a resistive load over 16.7 A
• a resistive load under 2 A
• a system driven by a contactor or relay (inductive load)
• a central heating system
SUPPLIED PARTS:
• One (1) thermostat
• Two (2) 6-32 screws
• Two (2) solderless connectors
TURN OFF POWER TO THE HEATING SYSTEM AT THE MAIN
POWER PANEL TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK. THE INSTAL-

door), or direct sunlight.
 Do not install the thermostat on a wall that conceals chimney or
stove pipes.
 The thermostat wires are not polarized; either wire can be con-
nected to the load or to the power supply.
NOTE: Always keep the thermostat's vents clean and unobstructed.
