Loosen these screws to slide the TC-4F/ TC-7F bracket out

TC-4F/TC-7F controller inside the bracket pre-wired to the AHP-250XE
Fit the AHP-250XE along with pre-wired TC-4F/TC-7F controller bracket assembly through the mounting cutout on the enclosure. Making sure wires are not pinched between the enclosure and the unit, secure the AHP-250XE on the enclosure.

Slide the TC-4F/TC-7F controller bracket under the cold side fan finger guard and re-tighten the two screws to secure the bracket
in place.
After the installation of the AHP-250XE on the enclosure is complete, slide the TC-4F/TC-7F bracket under the cold side fan finger guard and re-tighten the two screws. Please note that on this guide the enclosure, mounting gasket and hardware are not shown.

Model TC-6F (Cool Only) thermostat is designed using two temperature power switches in conjunction with a solid state relay. A three position
switch is provided to adjust temperature settings.
Model TC-3F (Heat/Cool) thermostat incorporates the same technology as the TC-6F. It contains a single setting each for both heating and
cooling as referenced below:
TC-1F POWER TEMPERATURE SWITCHES
Models TC-1F power temperature controller, with small tolerance and reset differential, are
the simplest and most cost effective way to control a cooling or heating device (VAC or VDC)
without a need for a relay. For circuits that have higher current draw simply use them in
conjunction with a solid state relay.

XX: Specify temperatures 20 °C, 25 °C, 30 °C, 35 °C for cool mode
and 10°C, 15 °C for heat mode
