Hi, It's easy to change to C. Just move switch 4 to the other position. Happy heating. Pete
Q: I'm looking at using these with King electric wall heaters with the blowers. Each one that I have is 240v and either 1000w or 1500w with their own wall thermostat. Will these work for me? Is there a minimum wattage for this thermostat?
Asked by Jerry 12 years ago
Add your answer
Yes these, t-stats can be used. Keeping in mind the built-in thermostat needs to be set higher than the wall thermostat setting. The heater will only operate to the lowest setting. Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID

Q: Can I use this product to replace my current thermostat for my radiant (water) base board heat?
Asked by Indy5 12 years ago
Add your answer
Yes,if the following specs apply to you electrical system Pro 8000 is rated at 220 to 240 volts Max load is 17 Amps ,3600 watts,do not exceed this load If your voltage is less than 220 ,the max load will be less Sent from my iPad Best regards Matweecha
You can if the water in the radiant baseboard heater is heated electrically and the existing thermostat senses ambient air temperature for controlling the temperature instead of some other means of feedback.
Q: Wiill this thermostat work with an electric kick space heater? It will be set for 240v, 1800watt.
Asked by Mike 12 years ago

You need to check the specs on the thermostat. Must be speced at 220-240 volts Must be speced at min 1800 watts Assuming both above specs are met,all heaters connected cannot have total wattage greater than 1800 Sent from my iPad Best regards Matweecha
Yes it will. I have this thermostat connected to two 1000w kickspace heaters at 240v. Works great. Just don't place the t-stat on an outside wall or it will sense the room temp incorrectly. Sent from my iPhone
It works on my kickspace heater. Sent from my iPhone
Q: My current thermostat is labeled 125/250/277 volts. (Model# D2022H10BB). It is a double pole with 2 red and 2 black wires. The baseboards are labeled 240/208. The thermostat has a grounding wire attached to its metal housing. I did not see a grounding screw on the instruction for this thermostat. Is this because it is plastic? Will this be compatible for me, and can I use this without a ground wire attached? I am thinking yes but just want to make sure I am not overlooking something.
Asked by Questioning Everything 13 years ago
Add your answer
Thermostat will work fine without a separate ground.
Yes it will work.
You are correct. the thermostat doesn't have a metal housing, so it does not need a ground wire attached to it. You should however connect the ground wire that comes from the power feed cable to the ground wire with the cable that goes to the heater. The will insure that the heater is grounded properly.
Q: I UNDERSTAND THEY CAN BE USED FOR 240v. THATS ALL I SEE. WHICH IS PROBABLY DRAWING LESS CURRENT THUS LOWER WATTAGE. HOW DO I KNOW WHICH THERMOSTAT CAN BE USED WITH THE OLDER 110v BASE HEATERS ?.
Asked by APARTMENT RENTER 13 years ago

Hi ! You need a 120 v thermostat for those base heaters Sent from my iPhone
the specs state 220-240 volts, nothing about 120. call the manufacturer.
Wattage would be the same, but 120v heater would draw twice the amps of a 240v heater (if they are rated for the same wattage). That being said, look into the Honeywell Aube TH106, it looks to work with 240 or 120v. Pat
Hello I'm not quite sure as I have never used these on 110v units. They are the GREATEST High Voltage thermostats I have ever used or seen. In the usual install of a 220v unit, only one of the legs are broken. This turns off the heat. I'm not sure how the internals of the thermostat itself are wired. I would try hooking up one leg, make sure the other leg is wire nutted just for safety. If that didn't work I would try powering up the other leg. If this fails, then it can't be used. I would think a call to Honeywell, Tradeline, would get the correct answer. In any case, I assume my first thoughts should not hurt the unit. It costs more to run 110v heat than it does 240v heat. The best install on electric is to balance both legs as there is a waste cost that factors into the price of electric. Gary Manzi Manzi P & H manziph.com
On second thought, I don't see why connecting both line leads to the line coming in and both load leads to the heat load. After all, the thermostat doesn't know which leg it is using. It might just need power, 110v, to each leg. Gary
Q: I understand that the unit has a 4 periods programable and that the pre-set for at home is 70 degrees and away is 62 degrees. Is there a way to change the program to 68 degrees for at home and 60 degrees while away?
Asked by Pam 13 years ago

You can adjust the thermostat to any set-point you'd like. Push the up or down arrow button until the desired set point is reached, then press and hold the appropriate home or away button and it should register the new value that you'd like for that setting.
Yes, I think those are just the preset temperature values. You can make the home and away temps whatever you want.
Yes there is a way. It is simple. The instructions cover how to do that. You just select the day, night or away icons and change the temperature utilizing the up or down buttons.
Yes you can set it to whatever temperature you want.
You just press and hold home and away buttons at the temp you want them set at. They icon will appear and the temp is set. Scott Sent from my iPhone
Yes, you can change the default and set it to any temp desired.
Pam, I had to look the instructions up at the pex website but yes, you can change those settings. They are called "setpoints" and you will find them referenced in the users manual along with directions on how to change them. Best of luck, Billy Sent from AOL Mobile Mail
All the time periods and temperatures can be adjusted from the defaults.
yes you change any of the presets to any temp you wish!
Q: What is the difference between the TL8130A1005 and the TL8230A1003?
Asked by David 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffTL8130A1005 is SPST (single pole, single throw) and TL8230A1003 is DPST (double pole, single throw). They also have different electrical ratings.
The 8130 switches both sides of the line power, allows for more wattage to heater 4000watts 16.7 amps at 240 volts. The 8230 switches one side of line power has 3600 watts max to heater 15 amps at 240 volts. To determine wattage needed for the circuit add the length of the heaters supplied by the thermostat and multiply by 250= wattage needed. This method is the maximum wattage a heater would produce per foot. Some heaters may be less, but this is a typical value. You may also find the rating on a label on the heater somewhere at the bottom hidden. Keep in mind the circuit supplying the power. Typically an 8 foot heater would be 2000 watts at 240 volts and would require 8.3 amps, so two 8 foot heaters would be 16.6 amps and too much for a 20 amp circuit breaker, as you can only apply 16 amps of load to a 20 amp breaker and number 12 wire. Hope this helps
Looks like just the electrical rating. 8130 is rated up to 4000 watts. 8230 is up to 3600 watts. See how many watts total on zone baseboard.
Q: how does this unit react if the heater happens to draw more than 15A on 20A circuit? Thanks
Asked by DIYer 14 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffAccording to the manufacturer, this thermostat would not be able to handle 20 amps with 2,000 watts.
