T104F  
Thermostatic Control  
The T104F Thermostatic Control is used with a V110  
Valve Body to control radiators, convectors, baseboard  
heating units, or other heating units with standard capacity  
requirements. The control is self-powered and requires no  
electrical connection. The T100A includes a setpoint dial  
andvalveactuator,connectedbyacapillarytubetoasensor.  
The T104F Control attaches to the valve body by threaded  
connections and may be mounted at any angle. Install the  
remote sensor beneath the heating coils in the cold air re-  
turn, or on a nearby wall where the air flow is not restricted.  
The setpoint dial has reference marks (1-6). The control  
has a low limit of 43°F (6°C) when the dial is turned fully  
clockwise to the frost protection mark*. The red button  
indicates the 68°F (20°C) setpoint limit. Higher settings may  
be made by holding in the button while turning. The thermo-  
static sensor is protected by a safety spring against tempera-  
tures to 125°F (52°C).

Settings and Calibration  
Setting the Limit  
To set a limit different from the factory setting, proceed  
as follows:  
1. Determine the desired temperature range limit or lock-  
ing temperature. Select the appropriate number on the ad-  
justment knob to match the desired temperature setting. See  
Fig. 5.  
The T104F Control includes an adjustable range limit-  
ing pin (order additional pins separately). The pin is fac-  
tory-set to limit the low range of the control to the frost  
protection (*) setting (see Fig. 5). The pin can be moved to  
a different low or high limit setting and lock point, or it can  
be removed. Use a second pin if both low and high limit  
settings are desired.
