DAYTON 1UHH3 Line Voltage Control, 2 Stage, Gray, Analog

What is the difference between line voltage and low voltage thermostats?

The distinction between line voltage and low voltage thermostats lies in their voltage ranges. A line voltage thermostat operates within the range of 120 to 240 volts. It consumes more power compared to low-voltage thermostats as it directly supplies power to the heater. Line voltage thermostats are typically associated with radiant, convection, or resistance heating systems. If your setup involves baseboard or wall heaters, it is likely that you are using a line voltage thermostat. In contrast, low-voltage thermostats utilise lower voltage levels and are commonly found in systems like central heating and cooling setups.

What is the operating temperature of Dayton line volt mechanical Tstat?

It has an operating temperature ranging from 30 to 110 degrees F.

How to install Dayton 1UHH3 line voltage control?

• Secure a wire nut onto the ground and white wires.
• Connect one hot wire using a wire nut to bypass the thermostat.
• Attach the black wire for both lines and load to the thermostat.
• Gently push the green, white, and red wires into the electrical box.
• Align the screws on the box accordingly. Proceed to fasten the thermostat onto the box by screwing it in place. Finally, replace the faceplate of the thermostat.

Which wires power a Dayton line volt mechanical Tstat?

The power source for a thermostat is typically provided by the Rc and Rh wires. If your thermostat is solely for air conditioning, it will have a red Rc wire. For heating and cooling systems, there will be both red Rc and red Rh wires. Despite both being red, these wires serve different purposes and cannot be swapped interchangeably.
