White Rodgers 179 - Manual

If in doubt about whether your wiring is millivolt, line, or low
voltage, have it inspected by a qualified heating and air condi-
tioning contractor or electrician.
Do not exceed the specification ratings.
All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes and
ordinances.
This control is a precision instrument, and should be handled
carefully. Rough handling or distorting components could cause
the control to malfunction.
This control has been accurately calibrated at the factory. Any
attempt to calibrate this control will void the White-Rodgers

To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage
disconnect electric power to system at main fuse or
circuit breaker box until installation is complete.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan-
gerous operation.
Following installation or replacement, follow appli-
ance manufacturer’s recommended installation and/
or service instructions to insure proper operation.
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage.
Higher voltage will damage control and could cause
shock or fire hazard.

combination heating and cooling equipment that operates on
line voltage.
These controls are suitable for fans or water solenoids on
