What is the correct method to test a thermostat?

In order to standardize results and to be able to compare one thermal switch to another, the industry has adopted a standard rate of temperature change which ranges from 0.25°C to 1.0°C change per minute. The larger and the more thermally resistive the package the slower the temperature rise rate must be. After the rise from room temperature a 10 – 15 minute soak at the lower threshold of the published range of operation is required in order to allow temperatures to stabilize.

Should line voltage thermostats be installed by professionals?

Although these thermostats are relatively easy to install thanks to 2-wire non-polarized connections (TRIAC thermostats) and color-coded wires (four-wire thermostats), we recommend that our line voltage thermostats be installed by a professional because of the importance of ensuring a good connection in the wire connectors.

Do I have to program a stop time for each program period?

There is no need to select a time to stop a programming period. Starting a new programming period will stop the previous program period.

My heating or cooling does not work. What can I do?

With the system set to heat, when the set point temperature is raised or lowered past the room temperature, the thermostat will make a soft click sound within about 5 seconds. Usually the sound indicates correct thermostat operation. If the heat does not come on after raising the temperature and hearing the click, check the fuses or breakers, make sure the furnace is switched on, and verify the blower compartment door is closed properly.

Do Warmrail units have thermostats & cut off switches?

Because of their safe design, Warmrails can operate 24 hours a day at the factory set temperature, using less electricity than a regular light bulb! You can operate a Warmrail using a timer if you wish, but most people find the comfort and convenience of Warmrails so appealing that they run them continually. We do not provide temperature controls, since Warmrails are designed to operate to the optimum performance level.

What is the difference between a double pole and a single pole thermostat?

Single pole thermostats break only one side of the power line to your heater and cannot be turned “off”. Therefore, power is continuous to the heater even if it is not running. The control knob will have a low temperature setting without an “off” position. Double pole thermostats break both sides of the power line; therefore all power to the heater is interrupted. The control knob will have an “off” position.
