Tempro HVAC Line Voltage Thermostats are essential components in industrial, agricultural, and commercial settings. These thermostats are designed to monitor and regulate air temperature efficiently. They are directly hard-wired or use a piggyback plug to connect to a heat source. When the ambient air temperature falls within a predetermined range, the line voltage thermostat senses the change and activates the heater to prevent freezing conditions. As the air warms, the thermostat ceases heater operation until the temperature drops again, maintaining a stable environment.

How Do Line Voltage Thermostats Operate?
Temperature Sensing: Line voltage thermostats function by detecting temperature changes using a sensitive element, typically a bimetallic coil or sensor. This element accurately measures the room’s temperature.
Cycling: The thermostat continuously cycles the heating equipment on and off to sustain the desired temperature. As the room temperature nears the set point, the thermostat modulates the electricity flow to prevent overheating, ensuring a comfortable and consistent environment.
Key Benefits of Using Line Voltage Thermostats
Compatibility: Line voltage thermostats are versatile and compatible with various heating systems, making them adaptable to a broad range of equipment.
Cost-Effective: Line voltage thermostats are generally more affordable than their low-voltage counterparts, making them an economical choice for many homeowners and businesses.
Common Applications of Line Voltage Thermostats
Commercial Spaces: In commercial buildings, line voltage thermostats control electric heaters and other high-voltage heating equipment, ensuring a stable temperature environment.
Proper Installation for Optimal Performance
To ensure accurate temperature readings, mount your HVAC line voltage thermostat 5-6 feet above the floor. This placement allows the thermostat to sense the average temperature of the controlled space. Avoid mounting the thermostat in areas exposed to unusual heat or cold, such as direct sunlight, near entryways, or on exterior walls.
Specialized Line Voltage Thermostats for Remote Sensing
Tempro offers thermostats with extended bulbs for sensing remote locations, such as outdoor air temperature. These models are perfect for scenarios where the control unit needs to remain in a safe operating environment while monitoring conditions elsewhere.
