If the manufacturer of the cooling equipment has supplied a wiring diagram, follow the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions. The following diagrams show the general use of these controls.
WIRING
All wiring should be done in accordance with local and national electrical codes and ordinances.
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.
