DESCRIPTION

The TX400 is a low voltage wall mounted room temperature controller. The heart
of the TX400 thermostat is a SPDT sealed-in-glass switch, hermetically sealed
to protect from dust and moisture. This switch does not require the critical level-
ing necessary with other types of thermostats. A positive action of the switch is
obtained by a magnet mounted on the temperature sensing coiled bimetal.

The basic TX400 can be used as a heating only, cooling only, or zone system
thermostat depending on how the subbase is wired (see schematic diagrams
below).

The TX400, when employed with the DA490 Series, covers all types of heating
and cooling systems. See the DA490 Series for switching arrangements and
schematics.

A decorative wall plate is included with all models. lt can be used to cover old ther-
mostat mounting marks or to mount the thermostat on an electrical conduit box.

HOME OWNER NOTE:
Temperature Selection:
To select a desired temperature after the thermostat has been installed, turn the
dial until the red index point indicates the desired temperature. The actual room
temperature can be noted on the scale on the lower portion of the dial. Design
features have made it easy to find the setting you require for comfort and to read
the instrument for reference. Remember that the difference between comfort and
discomfort is usually no more than 1 or 2 degrees. Make only small adjustments
to meet changing conditions.
