FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
DESCRIPTION
This Evaporative Cooler Control has a rain-proof enclo-
sure and can be used with either 120 VAC or 240 VAC
systems. It was designed for use with the White-Rodgers
1F51-619 or 1F51W-619 Thermostat to provide auto-
matic temperature and ventilation control and remote fan
speed selection of an evaporative cooler with 2-speed
fan. The pump relay is automatically operated to allow
wetting of cooler pads before starting fan.
PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment
damage, disconnect electric power to system, at
main fuse or circuit breaker box, until installation
is complete.
Ifindoubtaboutwhetheryourwiringismillivolt,line,orlow
voltage, have it inspected by a qualified heating and air
conditioning contractor, electrician, or someone familiar
with basic electricity and wiring.
!
Do not exceed the specification ratings.
All wiring must conform to local and national electrical
codes and ordinances.
This control is a precision instrument, and should be
handled carefully. Rough handling or distorting compo-
nents could cause the control to malfunction.
WARNING

CAUTION
!
CHECKOUT
Do not over tighten panel mounting screws to
avoid damage to the panel assembly.
1. After mounting and wiring has been completed, set
thermostat switch to “OFF” position and fan switch to
“LO” position. Turn thermostat lever to “5” and thermo-
stat switch to “COOL”. Nothing should happen pro-
vided the room temperature is below 95°F.
2. Turn thermostat lever to “1”. The pump should start
immediately, provided the room temperature is above
55°F.
8. Connect wires to proper terminals (see fig. 4 for typical
wiring connections).
CAUTION
!
Do not press against panel assembly while tight-
ening terminal screws to avoid damage to the
panel assembly.
3. After a time delay of 30 to 120 seconds to allow the
cooling pads to become soaked, the fan should start
running at low speed.
9. Replace cover and test operation per the checkout
section.
4. Turn fan switch to “HI” position. The fan should now be
operating on high speed.
WIRING
5. Turn thermostat switch to “VENT” position. The pump
should stop immediately.
CAUTION
!
6. Turn the thermostat switch to “OFF” position. After a
delay of 3 to 30 seconds, the fan should stop running.
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment
damage, disconnect electric power to system at
main fuse or circuit breaker box until installation
is complete.

________________________________________SAFETY_________________________________________
Installation of this equipment should be done by an experienced
service technician.
• Improper connections could cause shock
or fire hazard.
CAUTION: To prevent electrical shock and equipment
damage, disconnect electrical power to system at main fuse
or circuit breaker box, until installation is complete.
• All wiring must conform to local and
national electrical codes and ordinances.
• Rough handling, tampering or distorting
components of control, could cause the
control to malfunction.
WARNING: • Do not exceed the specification ratings on this
control. Check the manufacturer’s information
supplied with the associated product.
_____________________________SELECTING THERMOSTAT LOCATION__________________________
The proper location of the room thermostat is most
important to insure that it will provide a comfortable
home temperature. Observe the following general rules
when selecting a location:
5. Avoid locations close to air registers, or in the direct
path of air from them.
6. Make sure there are no pipes or duct work in that
part of the wall chosen for the thermostat location.
1. Locate it about 5 ft. above the floor.
7. Never locate it in a room that is warmer or cooler
than the rest of the home.
2. Install it on a partitioning wall, not on an outside wall.
8. Avoid location with lack of air circulation, such as
behind doors or alcoves.
3. Never expose it to direct light from lamps, sun,
fireplaces, or any temperature radiating equipment.
9. The living or dining room is normally a good location
provided there is no cooking range or refrigerator on
opposite side of wall.
4. Avoid locations close to doors that lead outside,
windows or adjoining outside walls.
_____________________________________INSTALLATION______________________________________
Attaching Sub-Base to Wall
1. Route wire from cooling equipment to thermostat location
and pull wires through hole in wall so that 6 in. of cable
protrudes.
2. Pull wires through opening near center of sub-base and
connect wires beneath proper terminal screws as shown
under “wiring”.
3. Push excess wire into wall or switch box and plug up hole
with non-combustible material to prevent drafts from
affecting thermostat operation.
4. Fasten sub-base loosely to wall in position shown in Fig. 1
using two mounting screws provided. Level sub-base by
placing spirit level on bottom of sub-base. Tighten
mounting screws to secure sub-base in level position.
Mounting Thermostat to Sub-Base
1. Remove cover from thermostat by pulling it straight
outward.
2. Attach thermostat base to sub-base, being sure that all
through 5.
The number “1” represents the cooler
screws are tightened snugly since they serve as electrical
connections between thermostat and sub-base.
3. Snap on thermostat cover and set thermostat to desired
setting. The thermostat scale range has numbers from 1
controlling temperature, and number “5” represents the
warmer controlling temperature.
________________________________________WIRING_________________________________________
All wiring should be done according to local and national
electrical codes and ordinances.
