Title: Cut out adjustment
Post by: USMC Vet on November 11, 2005, 07:57:49 pm
Do I need to turn the cut out screw to make it stay kicked out longer? Cycling too often,will run down to 38 and kick back on at 40,was wanting another 2 degrees.Thanks!

Eric at Global is the authority, but I think you adjust the cut-in screw to keep the compressor off longer.

Kick the "cut in" counter clockwise another 1/4 turn.
That should get it close. Remember to have the box full.
This will hold temperature for a longer period.

Where exactly does one find the cut-in screw?  There is a tiny screw (looks like a set screw) behind the terminals on the back of the t-stat .  Is that it?

Bryan

On the five T Stats I've had there has always been two small screws on the side marked cut in and cut out.

Hmm - the old tstat had a tiny screw on the back by the connectors with no markings or labels. The one I just bought isn't labelled either.  I can only see one screw so I'm assuming that's it.

I'm not sure mate. Are you cutting in or cutting out. Hopefully Eric will step up and let us know.

Can always try and if it doesn't work invest in a new T-Stat.

Seems to adjust the cut-out (or temp set).  I have a note into Steve at the sodajerkworks to see how to set the cut-in.

I've never seen one with the single screw design.
Sorry I won't be of much help. Seems though, if it changes the temp set or cut out, then the temperature diff. will probably be factory set, usually around 4-6 degrees...I would guess??? ???
