- After wiring, carefully replace the cover, ensuring no wires are pinched.
- Restore power to the circuit.
5. Operating Instructions
The Peco TH109-009 thermostat features a simple mechanical knob for temperature control.
- Temperature Setting: Rotate the large black dial on the front of the thermostat to set the desired temperature. The dial is marked with temperature increments.
- System Response: The thermostat will activate or deactivate the connected heating, cooling, or ventilation system based on the set temperature and the ambient temperature.
- Monitoring: Periodically check the ambient temperature and the system's response to ensure optimal performance.
6. Maintenance
The Peco TH109-009 is designed for minimal maintenance due to its rugged construction. However, periodic checks can ensure long-term reliability.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior of the thermostat with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no liquid enters the enclosure.
- Connections: Annually, with power disconnected, inspect wiring connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.
- Sensor Coil: Ensure the external sensor coil (if applicable to your specific setup) is clean and free from debris that could impede accurate temperature sensing.
7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Peco TH109-009 thermostat, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Thermostat not responding / No power | No power to the unit; tripped breaker/fuse; loose wiring connection. | Check power supply; reset breaker/replace fuse; inspect and tighten wiring (with power off). |
| Inaccurate temperature control | Thermostat located near heat source/draft; sensor coil obstructed/dirty; calibration issue. | Relocate thermostat if possible; clean sensor coil; consult a qualified technician for calibration. |
| System runs continuously or not at all | Incorrect wiring; faulty relay; thermostat setting too extreme. | Verify wiring against diagram; adjust temperature setting; if problem persists, professional service may be required. |
If the issue persists after attempting these steps, contact a qualified HVAC technician or PECO customer support.
