INSTALLATION
LOCATION
Mount this product 5 to 6 feet (1.5 to 1.8 m) above the floor so it will be exposed to the average temperature of the controlled space. Do not mount control where it could be affected by unusual heat or cold such as in sunlight or beside equipment. Avoid locations near a door, window or other opening. Do not mount on an outside wall.
WARNING
Do not allow the thermostat to be placed on the floor where it could come in contact with moisture, or be stepped on. Doing so could result in a fatal electric shock.

These thermostats are designed for use in wet or humid environments. They meet NEMA 4X requirements when used with approved watertight connectors (not included).
To ensure water tightness, a UL listed cord seal or conduit hub marked “4X” should be tightened onto the conduit before installing in the enclosure. A drip loop must be used to prevent moisture from entering the thermostat housing. Make certain that all connectors are securely tightened.
When reinstalling the cover, make sure it is squarely positioned over the gasket. Then uniformly tighten the screws, evenly compressing the gasket to provide a watertight seal. Do not over tighten.
WIRING FOR SINGLE STAGE THERMOSTAT – JDTMECH01

MOUNTING ­ FIXED INSTALLATIONS
Four mounting holes for fixed installations are found in the back of the case. On rough surfaces use the top mounting holes only. When mounting this control on uneven surfaces, when all four mounting screws are tightened, the housing may deform enough to affect the thermostat calibration and operation.
CAUTION
Do not dent or deform the sensor coil of this control. A dent or deformation will change the calibration and cause the control to cycle at a temperature lower than the knob setting.
THERMOSTAT WITH CORD AND 3-PRONG PLUG

IMPORTANT: All wiring should be done in accordance with applicable codes, ordinances and regulations. Use a disconnect device and overload protection to assure safe installation complying with local and national codes. Use copper conductors only.

CAUTION
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has a grounding type plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Certain thermostats are supplied with a cord and series plug for easy connection to a 120V AC grounded receptacle. Hang the thermostat near a 120V three prong receptacle with a ground pin using the hanging wire included in the package. Plug the male prongs into the receptacle and then plug the controlled equipment into the female part of the plug. For best results do not locate the thermostat near an exterior wall or window and away from the discharge of the equipment. If an extension cord is required use only one with a grounded 3 prong plug and 14 gauge wire.

Figure 4a, 4b, & 4c shows wiring for controlling a two-speed ventilating fan. When the control element reaches the knob settings, the low temperature switch starts the fan on low speed. If the ambient temperature continues to rise, the high temperature switch supplies power to the high-speed motor winding.

Figure 5a and 5b shows a typical SPDT/SPDT connection for a two-stage ventilation application. The damper motor will be energized when the temperature reaches the knob setting. If the temperature continues to rise, the fan motor will be energized by the high temperature switch.

SPDT/SPDT units can also be used to control a combination heating and ventilating/cooling system, as shown in Figure 6a & 6b. When knob is set warmer than ambient temperature cooling will turn on. When knob is set cooler than ambient temperature heating will turn on. Once ambient temperature is reached a drop or increase of 3ºF is needed to activate device.
Figure 6a

Figure 7a & 7b illustrates typical wiring for SPDT/SPDT units for control of two heating stages. As the ambient temperature decreases to the knob setting, the high temperature switch will make Red-Brown wire or Blue dot, Yellow dot contact, turning on the first stage of heating. If the temperature continues to drop (about 3ºF) the low temperature switch will make Red-Blue contact, turning on the second stage of heating.
