4. Pre-bend and push leadwires into the electrical junction  
box.  
2
. All wiring must comply with national and local codes  
and ordinances.  
5
. Hold the thermostat base with one hand and remove the  
thermostat cover by grasping two sides of the cover and  
pulling outward.  
3
. When using aluminum conductors, all wiring connec-  
tions to this thermostat must be made to the factory  
installed leadwires using approved CO/ALR solderless  
connectors. A fire hazard may result otherwise.  
NOTE: If locking cover feature is desired, insert the locking  
cover clip in the thermostat base BEFORE mounting the  
thermostat on the wall (see Fig. 7).  
4
. To avoid handling the sensing element, do not remove  
thermostat cover until wiring is completed.  
6
. Using the screwdriver, secure the thermostat to the box by  
tightening the two mounting screws. Handle thermostat  
with care. Excessive pressure may damage the control  
knob or sensing element.  
5
. Thermostats are designed for use with appliances  
having a limit control.  
IMPORTANT: Before mounting the thermostat, turn the  
setting dial to the mid-position (indicator pointing to the  
top of the thermostat): this will prevent damage to the  
dial stop if the dial is accidentally turned by the screw  
driver when the top mounting screw is tightened. Do  
NOT press on diaphragm, diaphragm lever arm or  
setpoint knob to seat thermostat on the box: thermostat  
will be damaged.  
New Installations  
1. Install a single-gang electrical box oriented vertically about  
4’ to 5’ (1.5 m) above the floor on an inside wall or pillar  
where the thermostat will be subjected to typical room  
temperature.  
NOTE: To sense temperature properly, the thermostat  
must be placed away from concealed warm or cold water  
pipes, air ducts, or drafts from hallways, fireplaces or  
stairways. Do not place thermostat above convectors or  
in the flow from supply fans. Ideally, a thermostat should  
be close to the return air path to effectively measure  
average room temperature.  
Replacement Applications  
1
. Disconnect power supply before making wiring  
connections to prevent electrical shocks or equipment  
damage. All wiring must comply with applicable codes  
and standards.  
2. Wire installation in an approved fashion.  
2
. Remove the old thermostat from the wall, taking care not  
to damage the wiring insulation.  
NOTE: T651A and T451A do not feature a Positive Off  
setting, and may not be used as a disconnect switch.  
3
. Check the old insulation for cracks, nicks or fraying. Apply  
certified electrical tape where necessary to insulate wires,  
or replace the wires in an approved fashion.  
3
. Leave cover on the thermostat while making wiring  
connections. Use solderless connectors approved for the  
type, number and gauge of wires being joined.  
4
. Complete installation following steps 3 to 6 in the New  
Connect as per Fig. 2 for the appropriate application.

INSTALLATION  
4
. Install the cover. Wait five minutes to let the thermostat  
thermally stabilize and re-check calibration.  
Do not assume a thermostat is out of calibration until it has  
been installed and allowed to operate for several hours.  
Check Out  
Turn on power. Raise the temperature setting to energize  
the heating contact and break the cooling contact. The  
HVAC equipment should begin heating or stop cooling, as  
appropriate.

Fig. 5 — Installing  
Range Stops  
NOTE: For T451A and T651A models only, the thermostat  
will call for heat (disable cooling) when the setpoint dial  
is at full counter-clockwise position. This setting is the  
phase change point of the diaphragm’s vapor fill and is  
independent of calibration. To de-energize the load(s),  
turn off power at the circuit breaker panel, or add a  
separate disconnect switch.  
Altitude Compensation  
T451, T651 units are calibrated at the factory for accuracy  
at 500 feet above sea level. No recalibration is needed if the  
switch operates at the same temperature indicated on the  
thermometer.  
The vapor-filled diaphragm sensor is affected by barometric  
pressure and altitude. Deviations up to ± 1°F (1/2°C) are  
within normal operation. Control point drops 2°F every

. Remove cover. Set the tab on setpoint knob to the leftmost  
radial mark visible on top of the triangular arm that holds  
the dual diaphragm sensor (Fig. 4).  
Locking Cover  
1. Remove cover by pulling straight out.  
®
. Without rotating the knob, remove it from the thermostat  
by pulling straight out, while holding the base against  
the wall.  
2. Insert Tinnerman Speed Nut s into slots top and bottom of  
thermostat base.  
3 Drive Allen screw into Speed Nut until head is flush with  
outside edge of thermostat base.  
. Now, rotate the removed setpoint knob clockwise by the  
amount of temperature error. Each mark on the triangular  
arm represents 2°F (1°C) of adjustment. Snap the knob  
back onto the setpoint cam.  
4. Re-install cover. Lock by backing out Allen screw until  
screw body protrudes through cover hole. To unlock cover,  
drive Allen screw into thermostat base.
