Installing the Siemens RETROLINE Retrostat Kit for Johnson Controls Thermostats requires a systematic approach. Here's a simplified guide, but always consult the official Siemens manual for your specific model for detailed instructions.
-
Removing the Existing Thermostat:
- First, detach your current thermostat from the wall.
- Next, secure the main air supply line.
- Clean the fitting surface, if necessary.
-
Installing the New Thermostat:
- Connect the necessary air lines.
- Ensure secure connections and insert the plug-in adapters into the plastic tube.
- Use screws to attach the multi-slotted plate to the terminal head or the wall.
- Mount the wall plate onto the adapter base and tighten the mounting screws.
- Fit the thermostat ports into the terminal adapter “O” rings on the wall plate.
- Place the cover over the thermostat, aligning the keyhole for the set point adjustment. (Note: Specific instructions for set point adjustment may vary depending on your RETROLINE model).
- If applicable, place the optional 1/2-inch large set point adjustment on the shaft extending through the cover.
-
Calibration, Adjustment, and Troubleshooting:
- For tasks such as calibrating the thermometer, adjusting the changeover point, limit stop, or sensitivity, and for troubleshooting, refer directly to the detailed installation instructions that came with your Siemens RETROLINE Retrostat kit.
-
Additional Notes:
- If your system uses a 1/2-inch large set point adjustment, follow the specific instructions for its removal and reinstallation.
- To remove the thermostat from the wall plate, firmly grasp the thermostat and use a screwdriver to gently pry the wall plate latch arms away from the thermostat chassis.
By following these steps and consulting your Siemens RETROLINE manual, you should be able to successfully install your new thermostat. For any issues or further clarification, the manual should be your primary resource, or you can contact Siemens Industry, Inc. for support.
