What is the temperature differential? (IE is set to off at 90ºF, it will come on at 100ºF is differential is 10ºF)

I don't know if there is any differential. It seems to be pretty accurate. I have never measured the actual temperature with a thermometer. This unit hS been working fine since I installed it.

I have not performed an exact test on this thermostat/firestat, but have it installed. Yes, the differential is 10 degrees, but I would not want to warrant that is what an individual example would show.

I use the Ventamatic to control the transfer of air between rooms, one of which has a wood burning stove. I don't notice any temperature differential. I set the control for 80 degrees; the fan turns on at 80 and turns off below 80. Or so it seems to me; it works great. jp

Not sure what the differential amount is on this unit. It is not exact degree that you set, but an approximate and it will need to be adjusted at first to get it around the temp you want. We had to adjust (tweek it) just a bit when we first installed it.

Hi Doug, yes it can be set to 10 degrees. Mine goes from zero to 40 degrees. I'm 100% happy with mine. Eric

The box attached to the cable has a thermostat in it that you set to the desired temperature for the fan to come on....There is a wide range of settings 70's to way over 110. It is very easy to set. The dial is on the outside of the box. You can almost see it in the picture.

temp reads in degrees C...set your temp. wanted, then difference set value ( 0.3 - 10.0 ) ex. 25 degrees difference 2 degrees.. at 23 degrees heat relay closes.. heater goes on.. off at 25 degrees.. must read operating instructions and key operating instructions in manual.Be advised the relay is only a switch and does not supply the heater with power.

The first knob says " Simmer" not sure what temp that is but after that the next one is 220 degrees. Simmer is probably closer to the 100 but cannot be sure. It is goes up to about 450

if it is set to 95 degrees and temperature gets to 93.5 it will stop running. so it is a switch that is on or off a certain temperature +or- a degree or so

I found the same thing with both my units. That is, if I want the room temp. to be 78 degrees, I set the air cond. for 74 degrees. No big deal.

There is a definite difference in temperatures between low and high on mine, although I haven't measured it.

they are controlled by an internal t-stat and only shut off once they reach the temp you set. But 900 sq ft heated to 105 might be stretching a single too far. I would suggest two units.

Put on level surface. It has a switch on the bottom that will automatically turn it off if it falls over, but also won't turn it on if it's not level. Second turn on I or II depending on how much heat you want. II is more. Next turn the temperature knob up until it kicks on. Or down until it clicks off and then up just till it is on again. Still cold in 10 minutes? Turn it up more. It will cycle on and off. This is normal so that it doesn't over heat.

These t-stats are designed to come on at a certain temp and then shut off when the temp is lower than what you set it at.Let's say you set it on 90. When the temp reaches 90 it will turn the fan on. After it cools to below 90, it will turn off.I don't know what the temp differential would be though. Maybe 10 degrees? I'm not sure.

30 degrees if i'm not mistaking, it's not variable. it has preset lock-ins.

I no longer use this thermostat, but at the time, it was in service as a cooling fan control in an entertainment center. I recall it having a fairly close differential and would hazard a guess as in the neighborhood of 1 degree or less. Hope this is helpful. REW.

There is no actual "off" switch. If you plan to have a temp lower then what the stat is used for, I would suggest another model or add a switch to it.

Since I'm not home right now I will answer from memory. There are four temperature settings from which to select (I believe they are 70, 75, 80, 85 degrees) with green light to indicate when that temperature has been reached. At that point it will shut down like any heater with a thermostat. When the quick heat setting is used it will continue to run and put out heat even after it has reached 85 degrees setting.

I apologize for taking so long, I just found the information. The operating temperature for this unit is -10 degrees C - +50 degrees C, or 14 F - 122 F.

it has to hit 100 before you can regulate before you can set it to a temperature.
