White-Rodgers 201-8 Tstat

The White-Rodgers 201-8 is a heavy-duty, line voltage space thermostat engineered for demanding commercial and industrial environments. This SPST close-on-rise temperature control features a rugged hydraulic-action mechanism designed to manage cooling systems, ventilation fans, and refrigeration equipment in garages, warehouses, and factories. Built with a high-capacity nickel-plated coiled bulb element, the unit provides a rapid response to ambient temperature shifts within a 20°F to 90°F range. The adjustable differential (3°F to 20°F) allows technicians to fine-tune cycling to prevent equipment short-cycling, while the dust, moisture, and vermin-resistant metal case ensures long-term reliability in high-traffic or exposed areas. Because it requires no leveling, this mechanical space thermostat can be mounted in any position, making it a versatile drop-in solution for 120V or 240V HVACR applications where durable line voltage control is mandatory.

• Industrial Durability: Housed in a heavy-duty metal case resistant to dust, moisture, and pests for harsh environments.
• Flexible Mounting: No leveling required for installation; mounts in any orientation to fit existing site constraints.
• Precision Control: Features an adjustable 3°F to 20°F differential for precise thermal management.
• High Electrical Ratings: Compatible with 120/240V AC systems, handling up to 25.0A resistive loads.
• Coiled Bulb Sensitivity: Exposed nickel-plated element ensures fast, accurate sensing for refrigeration and ventilation.

Is the White-Rodgers 201-8 designed for heating or cooling?
This is a close-on-rise thermostat, meaning the switch closes as the temperature increases. It is primarily used for cooling applications, such as activating exhaust fans or refrigeration compressors.

What is the maximum electrical load for this control?
The 201-8 is rated for heavy-duty use, supporting 16.0 AFL at 120V and 8.0 AFL at 240V, with a resistive rating of 25.0A at 120V.

Does this unit require a specific mounting position?
No, the hydraulic-action mechanism is designed to operate accurately without leveling, allowing for vertical, horizontal, or angled mounting.
