Back to Basics
I had programmable thermostat that was turning the central propane heater on and off too quickly. It's manual
stated it provided a 1 degree on/off cycle. I cut a jumper inside, and it went to 1.5 degrees. That's why it would short-
cycle on-off-on-off, just getting the duct air up to temp, then turn off. So I bought the CT31A, seeing in the photos
it had a totally adjustable dwell cycle, page 5 in the included manual. I marked the wires as instructed, replaced the thermostat, removed the insert at the contacts (page 5) and tested the ON time. Moving the dwell adjuster downward
gave me a 10 minute ON time, with a 4 degree temp increase....perfect. No more short-cycling. Purely mechanical,
inexpensive, no batteries, and merely move the temp lever to turn up the heat; no pushing buttons or needing glasses to see a digital readout. Old school, but effective for me. The manual can be reviewed online, before you buy.
