IMPORTANT
If locking cover feature is desired, insert the locking

the thermostat on the wall. See Fig. 7.
Replacement Applications
Disconnect power to thermostat to prevent electrical
shock or equipment damage. All wiring must comply
with local electrical codes and ordinances.
Remove the old thermostat from the wall; be careful not
to damage the wiring insulation.
Check the old wire insulation for cracks, nicks or fraying.
Apply approved electrical tape to insulate wires or
replace wires as necessary.
Do not remove T4098 Thermostat Cover. Using wire
connectors approved for No. 12 wires, make line
voltage connections directly to the leadwires on the
thermostat. See Figs. 2 and 3 for typical wiring
connections.
Prebend and push the solid wires into the outlet box.
While holding the thermostat base with one hand, use
the other hand to remove the thermostat cover by
grasping the bottom cover edge and pulling outward
away from the thermostat base.
Mount the thermostat on the outlet box as shown in
Fig. 4. Secure the thermostat by tightening the two
mounting screws.

SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS
Calibration
The T4098 Thermostats are calibrated at the factory using
precise instruments under closely controlled conditions.
Recalibration should not be necessary. Allow the thermostat
to operate for several hours before checking the calibration.
The T4098 Thermostat vapor-filled dual diaphragm sensing
element is affected by barometric pressure and altitude.
Temperature deviations of 1°F (0.5°C) are normal. If the
thermostat is mounted in a suitable location (as instructed in
the Location section) and still appears out of calibration,
check calibration as follows.

Check Calibration
Turn the setting knob clockwise until the switch makes
(clicking sound). The heating equipment and fan start.
No recalibration is necessary if the thermostat switch
makes with the thermostat setting at the same
temperature as indicated on the thermometer.
If the thermostat setting differs from the thermometer,
record the temperature difference and recalibrate as
instructed in the Recalibration Procedure section.
Recalibration Procedure
Note the temperature difference between the
temperature setting and the thermometer.
Remove the thermostat cover.
With the thermostat cover removed, note the location of
the temperature setting knob.
Remove the clear plastic knurled setting knob. See
Fig. 5.
Turn the temperature setting dial the required number
of degrees for calibration (so thermostat temperature
setting and thermometer are the same).
Replace the knob on the setting dial.
Replace the thermostat cover and recheck the
calibration.
Setting Range Stops
Use the range stops (included) to limit the maximum and
minimum temperatures that may be set.
Move the thermostat setting knob to the desired
maximum temperature.
Remove the thermostat cover.
Adjust the knob indicator tab between the range stop
positions to prevent interference.
Insert the range stop pins in the desired positions on
the back of the thermostat cover. See Fig. 6.
Make sure pins are completely seated before replacing
the thermostat cover.
Replace the thermostat cover and check the range
stops.
Locking Cover
The thermostat cover may be locked using the locking cover
screws included. Locking the cover prevents unauthorized
tampering of the thermostat temperature setting.
Remove the thermostat cover.
Insert the locking cover clip (included) into the slot on
the back of thermostat base as shown in Fig. 7.
Using an Allen wrench, insert the locking cover screw
into the clip. Secure the screw in place until it is flush
with the thermostat base.

CHECKOUT
IMPORTANT
Make sure that all wiring connections are secure
before beginning checkout.
After thermostat installation is complete, check operation as
follows:
Move the thermostat setting knob clockwise until the
switch makes (clicking sound); the electric heater starts.
Move the setting knob fully counterclockwise; the switch
breaks and the electric heater stops.
Allow the thermostat to operate for several hours to
determine the appropriate temperature setting. Adjust
the setting as necessary.
OPERATION
The T4098 Thermostat provides precise temperature control
of resistance-rated electric baseboard heating equipment with
minimum droop. The T4098 controls room temperature within
2°F (1°C), regardless of the load of the baseboard heater.
The vapor-filled dual diaphragm sensing element is more
sensitive to temperature changes than a bimetal sensor. This
accuracy, usually associated with low voltage thermostats, is
now available for line voltage control.
Electric heat thermostats are often affected by the heat
generated in the control. Temperature control points may vary
or droop 2°to 4°F (1°to 3°C) depending on the load demand;
however, temperature settings are adjusted to provide offset.
The T4098 provides precise control with minimum droop. This
allows better control of room temperatures from day-to-night
and season-to-season while saving energy.
