There is no answer! There is not an opposite of thermostat, a thermostat is a measuring devise.
Our thermostat read 80oF.
Only if the thermostat doesn't work. This question needs more information.
What type of thermostat (there are several, the commonest is a rod)?
The engine thermostat controls the flow of coolant to the radiator , it allows the engine to warm up before the thermostat opens in order to limit the maximum operating temperature.
An anticipator is a device in a thermostat which determines when to turn on or shut off the heating or cooling mechanism.
In the instruction manual for the furnace, it will either give you the heat anticipator setting or instruct you how to do it. If its digital, well then follow the thermostat instructions
First check your thermostat to determine if the anticipator is set correctly and is operating properly.
it may blow cold air due to the fact that the heat anticipator on your thermostat may be set to long. you can change useing your owners manual for your thermostat but you should have a service tech do it
Is a slider for the "adjustable heat anticipator assembly"
A Heat Anticipator is really a potentiometer connected to (possibly) two resistors. You may see these resistors behind a mechanical thermostat "coil". When the heater is running, current flows and heats up the resistors, making the heater turn off a little early so that it doesn't overshoot the temp you have set. If the pot is set at it maximum resistance, the resistors heat less, it just makes sense. Check your manual on your thermostat for proper settings.
The point at which and individual's weight thermostat is supposedly set is called Set Point
If you have a mechanical thermostat, the "heat anticipator" most likely needs to be adjusted to a higher setting. If a mercury type thermostat, verify that the sub-base is level also. lc
I WILL ASSUME THIS IS NOT A POORLY INSULATED LEAKY HOME, IN THAT FREQUENT CYCLING OF EQUIPMENT IN THE AFOREMENTIONED BUILDING WOULD BE NORMAL. 1) CHECK THAT THE CAVITY BEHIND THE THERMOSTAT IS SEALED, WHERE THE WIRING COMES THROUGH THE WALL. (DRAFTS OF THIS KIND CAN CAUSE THIS SYMPTOM) 2) CHECK THE HEAT ANTICIPATOR ADJUSTMENT ON THE THERMOSTAT ITSELF. IT SHOULD CLOSELY MATCH THE CURREND DRAW (IN AMPS) OF THE FURNACE LOADS DURING THE HEATING CYCLE WITH THE BURNER OPERATING. IF YOU HAVE AN AC AMMETER, YOU SIMPLY PUT IT IN SERIES WITH THE "W" WIRE, AT THE FURNACE MAY BE EASIER THAN AT THE T-STAT ITSELF. THE ANTICIPATOR SHOULD BE ADJUSTED TO THE MEASURED METER READING. (BETWEEN 0.2 AND 1.2 AMPS NORMALLY). IF NO METER IS AVAILABLE, SIMPLY INCREASE THE ADJUSTMENT SAY 0.2 AMPS FROM WHERE IT IS SET NOW AND CHECK OPERATION. MANY ARE LABELED "LONGER" WITH AN ARROW POINTING IN THE DIRECTION OF INCREASED AMPERAGE. MANY ELECTRONIC STATS HAVE DIP SWITCHES ALLOWING YOU TO CHANGE THE CPH. (CYCLES PER HOUR) lc
Digital thermostats can save an individual or family money over the course of a year, but only if used properly. If a person programs their thermostat correctly they can see substantial savings.
i think that it is determined by the position of the sun. cheers-rhys stannard 10DL
You can find the thermostat on the front of the engine. The thermostat will be inside of the thermostat housing.
