The TAC Stainless Plate temperature sensors aremounted on the back of a 1 Gang stainless steelplate. The foam pad will insulate the sensor from any drafts in the wall. (2) 6/32” x 1” machine screws are provided for junction box mounting. Be sure that the sensor is not mounted on an outside wall, due to the extreme temperature changes from either drafts or heat transfer.
The unit includes a mechanical stop to prevent adjustment below 35°F (2°C). Do not
attempt to set below 35°F (2°C), or the device may be damaged.
1. If the ambient temperature at the thermal element is within the 35 to 55°F (2 to 13°C) setpoint range, turn the adjustment screw located in the top of the case until the setpoint
exceeds the ambient temperature. Confirm that the snap acting switch has operated.
2. Turn the setpoint adjustment screw until the indicating pointer is at the desired setpoint
temperature.
3. On the TC-5241 model, push the manual reset button to put the thermostat into service.

• When the sensed temperature is below setpoint, the switch is open (terminals 2–3 on
TC-52x1 and terminals L–T on TC-5232), and the tab at the end of the bellows lever is
down. The switch can be momentarily closed by lifting the tab with a screwdriver. See Figure-5.
• Do not attempt to manually operate the thermostat in any other way as this can damage
equipment and void the warranty.
CALIBRATION
All thermostats are precision calibrated at the factory.
