Description The TH 193 HC thermostats are proportional dual output, dual setpoint, two-pipe (dual
one-pipe, low air capacity) or three-pipe (dual two-pipe, high air capacity) sensor
controllers. Each thermostat includes a wall mounting plate for installation in a variety of
rough-in terminal boxes. Sensitive bimetals respond to temperature changes to
modulate control air through a flapper nozzle. As the heating load decreases due to
internal heat gains, a dead band of control minimizes energy consumption while the
setpoint changes from 72°F (22°C) heating mode to 78°F (26°C) cooling mode. Two
setpoint dials allow adjustment of the dead band 4°F (2°C) minimum. Air connections
are made with 5/32-inch (4 mm) O.D. plastic tubing, directly to the thermostat chassis
for retrofit applications or with plug-in adapters (provided with the TH 192 rough-in
terminal box or optional accessories), which slide into the wall mounting plate.

Application TH 193 HC thermostats control space temperature and take advantage of the dead
band to "float" room temperature between heating and cooling modes while maintaining
energy management (maximum economy) and occupancy comfort. TH 193 HC
thermostats control valve and damper actuators in building applications that require
early morning heat and afternoon cooling.
Use TH 193 HC two-pipe (dual one-pipe) thermostats with external restrictors (20 scim,
5.4 ml/sec) where a limited air capacity operates a single valve and/or actuator. Use
TH 193 HC three-pipe (dual two-pipe) thermostats where multiple valves and actuators,
used with or without high/low limiting controls, require higher air capacities. The
thermostats are available with covers that conceal or expose the setpoint adjustment
dials.

See Table 1 for product number and ordering information on TH 193 HC thermostat
chassis.
1. Does application require one-pipe or two-pipe connection?
a. One-pipe thermostats are low air capacity devices and have only one port
connection (R1). This application requires an external restrictor.
b. Two-pipe thermostats are high air capacity devices for controlling two or more
terminal devices such as damper actuators or valves. This application requires
two port connections: supply (S) and return (R1).

Operation The TH 193 HC thermostat is a two-temperature thermostat with two separate outputs.
In direct acting control, an increase in temperature increases the control air pressure
and a decrease in temperature decreases the control pressure. In reverse acting
control, an increase in temperature decreases the control air pressure and a decrease
in temperature increases the control pressure.
The TH 193 HC provides two separate bimetal elements; one for heating mode and the
other for cooling mode. The setpoint of the two elements determines the window of the
dead band. A 4°F (2°C) minimum dead band is standard, where the heating mode
setpoint is 72°F (22°C) and the cooling mode setpoint is 78°F (26°C). Figure 4 shows a
typical application with setpoints adjusted for a 6°F (4°C) dead band.
Figure 5 shows direct acting TH 193 HC output characteristics. As heating increases,
the output pressure increases from 0 to 15 psi (0 to 103 kPa). A field adjustable dead
band occurs. When the dead band elapses, cooling occurs from 0 to 15 psi (0 to
103 kPa).

Thermometer
Calibration 1. Use a test thermometer to read the current room temperature.
2. Place a screwdriver in the center of the thermometer assembly (Figure 6). Carefully
rotate thermometer assembly until pointer tip indicates the correct room temperature.
NOTE: Avoid breathing on or touching the bimetal spiral since this influences the
temperature reading.

Limit Stop
Adjustment Thermostat limit stops define the minimum
and maximum thermostat setpoints. The
limit stops engage in the setpoint cam gear
teeth and cause interference between the
setpoint cam gear and the adjustment knob
gear.
To change limit stop settings, use needle
nose pliers to pull limit stop between the
setpoint cam gear teeth. Rotate limit stop to
its new position. Do not pull limit stop any
more than necessary to clear the gear
teeth. Changing the limit stop position one
gear tooth changes the limit stop setting by
1-1/3°F (0.7°C).

Limit Stop Adjustments.
Sensitivity
Adjustment To change thermostat sensitivity, use a flat-blade
screwdriver to carefully move the sensitivity slide to
the desired position as follows:

(50 kPa/°C)
Graduation
closest to the
minimum
(MIN) end of
the bimetal
element
1 psi/°F
(12 kPa/°C)
NOTE: If the thermostat sensitivity is adjusted,
the thermostat must be recalibrated.

Thermostat
Calibration The thermostat is factory-calibrated to a control pressure of 7.5 psi (52 kPa) when the
setpoint and the ambient temperature are both at 72°F (22°C). The factory sensitivity
setting is approximately 2.5 psi/°F (31 kPa/°C). No adjustments are required if these
settings are appropriate for the application. If the thermostat has been tampered with, the
sensitivity changed, or is out of adjustment, use the following steps to recalibrate the
instrument.

Cooling Calibration
Step 1 —
Remove cover using P/N 192-632
calibration tool. Verify room
temperature is between 70°F and
80°F (2°C and 27°C).
Step 2 —
Verify that supply pressure is 18 to 25 psi (124 to
172 kPa). Set cooling dial to room temperature by
turning the exposed adjustment knob or using a
hex key as shown. Allow thermostat to stand for
about five minutes to adjust to the new setting.
Step 3 —
Moisten needle and insert
P/N 192-633 test gauge and needle
adapter in the test port. Read control
pressure.
Step 4 —
If control pressure does not read 7 to 8 psi (48 to
55 kPa), turn calibration screw using P/N 192-632
calibration tool or 1/8-inch (3.2 mm) wrench until
pressure is 7 to 8 psi (48 to 55 kPa). The sensing
element is now in calibration and the setpoint can
be changed to the desired room temperature.

Heating Calibration
Step 1 —
If not already done, remove cover
using P/N 192-632 calibration tool.
Verify room temperature is between
70°F and 80°F (21°C and 27°C).
Step 2 —
Verify that supply pressure is 25 psi (172 kPa).
Set heating dial to room temperature by turning
the exposed adjustment knob or using a hex key
as shown. Allow thermostat to stand for about five
minutes to adjust to the new setting.
Step 3 —
Moisten needle and insert
P/N 192-633 test gauge and needle
adapter in the test port. Read control
pressure.
Step 4 —
If control pressure does not read 7 to 8 psi (48 to
55 kPa), turn calibration screw using P/N 192-632
calibration tool or 1/8-inch (3.2 mm) wrench until
pressure is 7 to 8 psi (48 to 55 kPa). The sensing
element is now in calibration and the setpoint can
be changed to the desired room temperature.

Troubleshooting Before troubleshooting thermostat (see Table 4), make certain there is clean, dry supply
air at 18 psi (124 kPa) minimum. Use test probe gauge and needle adapter to measure
control pressure at thermostat test port.
The output pressure test port is accessible without removing the thermostat cover through
the 8th opening from the top. For one-pipe thermostats, the port is on the right side. For
two-pipe thermostats, the port is on the left side.
Figure 9. Accessing Output Pressure Test Port.
CAUTION:
If you use the wrong test port, thermostat damage can occur and result in
replacement of the device.

Replacement
1. Remove thermostat chassis from wall. Terminal does not have a ball check valve.
NOTE: You must close off the supply air. For example, use a connector with the
supply air terminal plugged.
2. Remove two Phillips head screws from connector on back of thermostat chassis. Pull
connector out of recess. If necessary, pry connector loose with a screwdriver, but be
careful not to damage restrictor plate and gasket.
3. Remove gasket from under connector. Remove restrictor. Remove second gasket from
under restrictor.
4. Use restrictor replacement kit P/N 192-321 to replace gasket, restrictor, and second
gasket.
NOTE: The restrictor plate is keyed to ensure proper orientation during installation.
5. Remove filters from existing connector and insert in new connector. Or, if filters are
dirty, use restrictor replacement kit P/N 192-321 to replace filters.
6. Use chassis tube connector replacement kit P/N 192-525 to replace connector and
mounting screws.
