The following defined terms and symbols are used throughout this manual to bring attention to the presence of hazards of
various risk levels, or to important information concerning the life of the product.
– Caution: Refer to accompanying documents.

INSTALLATION
CATEGORY II – Local level appliances.
Definitions
Improper installation and operation of this control could result
in damage to the equipment and possibly even personal
injury or death. It is your responsibility to ensure that this
control is safely installed according to all applicable codes
and standards. This electronic control is not intended for
uses as a primary limit control. Other controls that are
intended and certified as safety limits must be placed into
the control circuit. Do not attempt to service the control.
Refer to qualified personnel for servicing. There are no
user serviceable parts. Attempting to do so voids warranty
and could result in damage to the equipment and possibly
even personal injury or death.
Caution
Choose the placement of the setpoint control early in
the construction process to enable proper wiring during
rough-in.
Consider the following:
•
Interior Wall.
•
Keep dry. Avoid potential leakage onto the control.
RH 80% to 88°F (31°C), down to 50% from 104 to
122°F (40 to 50°C). Non-condensing environment.
•
No exposure to extreme temperatures beyond 32 - 122°F
(0 - 50°C).
•
No draft, direct sun, or other cause for inaccurate
temperature readings.
•
Away from equipment, appliances, or other sources of
electrical interference.
•
Easy access for wiring, viewing, and adjusting the
display screen.
•
Approximately 5 ft. (1.5 m) off the finished floor.
Use standard 18 AWG wire for the control power, relays,
tN4 and sensor connections.
Refer to the diagram below to determine the number of
conductors to run from each piece of equipment to the
control location.

Remove the Wiring Cover
To remove the wiring cover:
•
Place a small slot screwdriver or similar tool into the slot
located on the top of the control.
•
While pushing against the plastic tab, pull the top of the
front cover so that it pivots around the bottom edge of
the control’s base.

Mounting the Setpoint Control
If a single gang switch box is used, an Adaptor Plate 007
is required to mount the control to the box.
•
Fasten the base of the control to the adaptor plate.
•
Feed the wiring through the openings in the back of the
adaptor plate and control.
•
Use the upper and lower screw holes to fasten the
adaptor plate to the box.
If a switch box was not used, mount the control directly
to the wall.
•
Feed the wiring through the openings in the back of the
control.
•
Use screws in the screw holes to fasten the control to
the wall. At least one of the screws should enter a wall
stud or similar rigid material.

Electrical Drawings
The electrical drawing examples on the following
pages show the 162 in common applications. Choose
the drawing that most accurately depicts the components
in your system and use that drawing as a guide to aid in
wiring your system.
These are only concept drawings, not engineered drawings.
They are not intended to describe a complete system nor
any particular system. It is up to the system designer to
determine the necessary components for and configuration
of the particular system being designed including additional
equipment isolation relays (for loads greater than the
controls specified output ratings) and any safety devices
which in the judgement of the designer are appropriate in
order to properly size, configure and design that system
and to ensure compliance with building and safety code
requirements.

Troubleshooting the Wiring
General
The following tests are to be performed using standard
testing practices and procedures and should only be carried
out by properly trained and experienced persons.
A good quality electrical test meter, capable of reading
from at least 0 - 300 V (ac), 0 - 2,000,000 Ohms, and testing
for continuity is essential to properly test the wiring and
sensors.

Testing the Wiring
Testing 24V (ac) Power Supply
1. Remove the front cover from the setpoint control.
2. Use an electrical test meter to measure (ac) voltage between the R and C terminals. The reading should be 24 V (ac)
+/– 10%.
3. Install the front cover.
Testing the Relays
1. Remove the front cover from the setpoint control.
2. Disconnect the wires from the relay that is to be
tested.
3. Use an electrical test meter and check for continuity
across the relay.
•
• When the relay’s symbol is displayed in the LCD, there
should be continuity.
•
• When the relay’s symbol is not displayed in the LCD,
there should be no continuity.
4. Reconnect the wires to the relay.
5. Install the front cover on the setpoint control.
162 LCD Display
Relay 1
Testing the Sensor
To test the sensor, the actual temperature at the sensor
location must be measured.
Use a good quality digital thermometer with a surface
temperature probe for ease of use and accuracy. Where
a digital thermometer is not available, place a spare
sensor alongside the one to be tested and compare
the readings.
1. Remove the front cover from the setpoint control.
2. Disconnect the wires from the sensor.
3. Test the sensor’s resistance according to the instructions
in the sensor Data Brochure D070, D074 or D079.
4. Reconnect the wires.
5. Install the front cover on the setpoint control.
Testing the tN4 Network
To test the tN4 Network, check the wires for continuity.
1. Remove the front cover from the setpoint control.
2. Disconnect the two wires (tN4 and C) at one end and
connect them together.
3. Go to the other end of the wires and disconnect them.
4. Using an electrical test meter, check for continuity.
5. Reconnect the wires.
6. Install the front cover on the setpoint control.

The installer must ensure that this control and its wiring are isolated and/ or shielded from strong sources of electromagnetic
noise. Conversely, this Class B digital apparatus complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and meets all requirements of
the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. However, if this control does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which is determined by turning the control off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by re-orientating or relocating the receiving antenna, relocating the receiver with respect to this control,
and / or connecting the control to a different circuit from that to which the receiver is connected.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.
