  1. Débrancher l'alimentation : Before beginning any wiring, ensure that power to the circuit is completely disconnected at the main service panel.
  2. Retirer le couvercle : Carefully remove the front cover of the thermostat to access the wiring terminals.
  3. Connecter les fils : Connectez la ligne voltage wires to the appropriate terminals as indicated by the wiring diagram provided with the product packaging. The SPDT contacts allow for configuration as either a heating or cooling control. Refer to the specific wiring diagram for your application (heating or cooling).
  4. Câblage sécurisé : Ensure all wire connections are tight and secure. Use appropriate wire nuts or connectors.
  5. Remplacer le couvercle : Once wiring is complete and verified, carefully replace the front cover.
  6. Restaurer l'alimentation : Rétablir l'alimentation électrique au niveau du tableau électrique principal.

Note: A detailed wiring diagram is typically included with the product packaging. If you do not have this diagram, consult a qualified electrician or contact Dayton customer support.

5. Configuration et fonctionnement

The Dayton 6EDY5 thermostat is designed for straightforward operation using its mechanical temperature adjustment knob.

5.1 Réglage de la température

  • Repérez le bouton rotatif sur la face avant du thermostat.
  • Turn the dial clockwise or counter-clockwise to align the desired temperature setting with the indicator mark.
  • The thermostat will activate or deactivate the connected HVAC system to maintain the set temperature.

5.2 Heating vs. Cooling Application

The 6EDY5 thermostat can be configured for either heating or cooling applications by adjusting the internal wiring connections. This configuration is typically done during installation. For heating, the thermostat will close contacts when the temperature falls below the set point. For cooling, it will close contacts when the temperature rises above the set point. Refer to the installation wiring diagram for specific instructions on configuring for heating or cooling modes.

6. Entretien

The Dayton 6EDY5 Line Voltage Thermostat requires minimal maintenance to ensure continued reliable operation.

  • Nettoyage: Essuyez périodiquement l'extérieur du thermostat avec un chiffon doux et sec.amp Chiffon. Ne pas utiliser de nettoyants abrasifs ni de solvants. Veiller à ce qu'aucune humidité ne pénètre dans les composants internes.
  • Zone du capteur : Keep the area around the exposed sensor coil free from dust and obstructions to ensure accurate temperature readings.
  • Aucune pièce réparable par l'utilisateur : There are no user-serviceable parts inside the thermostat. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit beyond removing the front cover for wiring access.
