Primary Customer Use: Replacement thermostat for electric baseboard heaters
How the Thermostat Works
Set the desired room temperature using the manual dial.
When the room temperature drops below the set temperature, the thermostat activates the connected electric baseboard heater.
When the room temperature rises back to the set level, the thermostat stops calling for heat.
The power indicator shows the thermostat is receiving power.
The heat indicator shows the thermostat is calling for heat and the heater should be operating.
Choosing 120V or 240V
Choose the voltage version that matches your electric baseboard heater system.
Use the 120V version for 120V systems.
Use the 240V version for 240V systems.
Do not install a 120V thermostat on a 240V system.
Do not install a 240V thermostat on a 120V system unless the specific product version and installation are confirmed compatible.
How to Check Your Voltage
You may be able to identify voltage from your old thermostat label, heater label, breaker, or wiring.
Common clues:
• Black and white wires may indicate a 120V system • Black and red wires may indicate a 240V system • A double-pole breaker often indicates a 240V heater circuit

FAQ & Resources
Additional Product Questions
1. Is this thermostat only for electric baseboard heaters?
It is mainly designed for electric baseboard heaters and compatible line-voltage electric heating systems. It should not be used as a general-purpose thermostat for unrelated YeloDeer heating products.
2. Does this thermostat work with 2-wire wiring?
No. This thermostat is designed for 4-wire wiring only. If your wall box has only two wires, this model may not be compatible. Please check your wiring before ordering.
3. What does 4-wire only mean?
A 4-wire thermostat installation usually has separate line and load wires passing through the thermostat. This allows the thermostat to control the electric baseboard heater circuit properly.
If your existing wall box only has two wires, this thermostat may not match your wiring configuration. Please confirm before ordering.
4. Is this thermostat double-pole?
No. This thermostat is not a true double-pole DPST disconnect.
It controls the heating circuit, but it should not be used as a full electrical disconnect.
If your installation requires a true double-pole disconnect thermostat, please choose a thermostat designed for that requirement.
5. Does the OFF position fully disconnect power?
No. The OFF position turns off the thermostat’s control function, but the main high-voltage power supply circuit may still remain live.
For safety, always turn off the breaker before installation, inspection, wiring, or service.
6. How do I know whether I need 120V or 240V?
Check the old thermostat label, heater label, breaker, or wiring.
As general clues:
• Black and white wires may indicate 120V • Black and red wires may indicate 240V • A double-pole breaker often indicates 240V
However, wire colors are not always enough. Use a voltage tester or consult an electrician if you are unsure.
7. What happens if I choose the wrong voltage version?
Using the wrong voltage version can cause malfunction, unsafe operation, or damage.
Always confirm your heater system voltage before ordering and installation.
8. What do the indicator lights mean?
The power indicator shows the thermostat is powered.
The heat indicator shows the thermostat is calling for heat and the baseboard heater should be operating.
9. Why is my heater not turning on?
Possible reasons include: • Breaker is off • Wiring is incorrect • Wrong voltage version was selected • Heater load exceeds the rating • Room temperature is already above the set temperature • Wall box wiring is not compatible • The thermostat is not compatible with your heater • The heater itself has an issue
Turn off power at the breaker before inspecting wiring.
10. Why does the heater turn on and off around the set temperature?
This is normal thermostat operation. The thermostat turns the heater on when the room temperature drops below the set point and turns it off when the room temperature returns to the target level.
11. Can I control multiple baseboard heaters with one thermostat?
Possibly, only if the heaters are on the same compatible circuit and the total load does not exceed the thermostat rating.
Add the wattage of all connected heaters together.
Do not exceed 2400W at 120V or 4800W at 240V.
