Installation Details
This is a 24VAC Class 2 low voltage 
(24Vac) temperature controller. Use 
only Class 2 rated power supply. Do 
not install on voltages higher than 
30Vac.
Read all information in this manual
before installing or programming the 
appliance. Electrical installation and 
wiring must conform to local and 
national building and electrical 
codes. Check the electrical 
equipment regularly. Defective wire 
etc. must be replaced immediately. 
Be sure that power routed to the 
controller has been powered ‘off’ 
before beginning installation or 
installation of communication 
modules. Lock out the power supply. 
The Schwank ThermoControl Plus 2 
must be mounted where it is not 
affected by vibration or shock. 
The feed/supply line must be
protected by the installer with a fuse 
of maximum 16 A. 
Install the ThermoControl Plus 2 
ensuring conformity to the wiring 
diagram located in the switchboard. 
 
 
 
Minimum Wiring Connection: 
It is the installer’s responsibility 
to ensure that wire gauge is 
sufficient to provide 24Vac from 
the transformer to the controller, 
and from the controller 24Vac 
outputs to the external relays 
that power heaters and exhaust 
fans. The distance between the 
power source and equipment 
must be considered. 
 24Vac power from 100VA
transformer to the controller 
with minimum 16 AWG wire 
 24Vac from controller outputs
to equipment power relays 
with minimum 16 AWG wire 
 Connect sensor to controller
with minimum 18 AWG wire
 
Install the IR temperature sensor 
between the radiant area of two 
heaters at a height of 6 ft (2 m) 
above floor. In this location the 
controller receives the optimal 
value of the comfort temperature 
(radiant temperature plus 
ambient temperature). 
 
NOTE: If heating zones are dimensionally
large in size or there are extreme 
temperature gradiants within the 
zone, temperature averaging can 
be achieved using four IR sensors 
wired in parallel-series for each 
zone.
