THERMOSTAT LOCATION
To ensure proper operation, the thermostat should be mounted on an inside wall in a frequently
occupied area of the building. In addition, its position must be at least 18" (46 cm) from any out-
side wall, and approximately 5', (1.5 m) above the floor in a location with freely circulating air of
an average temperature.
Be sure to avoid the following locations:
• behind doors or in corners where freely circulating air is unavailable
• where direct sunlight or radiant heat from appliances might affect control operation
• on an outside wall
• adjacent to, or in line with, conditioned air discharge grilles, stairwells or outside doors
• where its operation may be affected by steam or water pipes or warm air stacks in an adja-
cent partition, or by an unheated/uncooled area behind the thermostat
• where its operation will be affected by the supply air of an adjacent unit
• near sources of electrical interference such as arcing relay contact
