HIGH VOLTAGE CONTROL.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Follow local codes and ordinances when installing this
thermostat. Improper handling may cause serious
injury or death.
CAUTION
1. Disconnect power supply to prevent electrical
shock or equipment damage.
2. If connecting with aluminum conductors, use
CO/ALR solderless wire connectors to avoid fire
hazard.
Location
Install a vertical outlet box, which is used to mount the
thermostat on, about 5 ft (1.5m) above the floor in an area
with good air circulation at room temperature.
Do not install the thermostat where it may be affected by:
— drafts or dead spots behind doors, in corners or under
cabinets.
— hot air from convectors.
— radiant heat from sun or appliances.
— concealed pipes and chimneys.
— unheated (uncooled) areas such as an outside wall
behind the thermostat.
Wiring and Mounting
CAUTION
1. Handle the thermostat with care to avoid damage.
2. Use a separate limit control in the heating
appliance.
3. Do not short 208 or 240 volt supply wires with
thermostat. This will damage the T4800 and void
the warranty.
Replacement Applications
³ Disconnect power to the thermostat to prevent electrical
shock or equipment damage. All wiring must comply
with local electrical codes and ordinances.
· Remove the old thermostat from the wall, taking care
not to damage the wiring insulation.
» Check the old wire insulation for cracks, nicks or
fraying. Apply approved electrical tape to insulate wires
or replace wires as necessary.
¿ Carefully remove thermostat cover by gently lifting at
top edge with a flathead screwdriver. Using wire
connectors approved for No. 12 wires, make line
voltage connections directly to leadwires on thermostat.
