FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
DESCRIPTION
Operator: Save these instructions for future use!
The Type 1050 Indoor-Outdoor Control is designed for use on
conventional hot water heating systems where it is desired to
vary boiler temperature according to outdoor weather condi-
tions. These controls are not recommended for radiant panel
installations because of the lower boiler temperatures required.
Type 1050 has open-on-rise (SPST) switch action.
This indoor-outdoor control increases or decreases frequency
of burner operation to maintain a proper balance between boiler
temperature and outdoor temperature. This control should
always be used with a separate high limit control.
For increased flexibility, this control has two simple adjustments
that enable it to be set to meet the needs of almost any
installation. The square dial is used to adjust the reset ratio from
1-1/2 to 1, up to 1 to 1-1/2. The round dial permits additional
adjustment, if necessary, to raise or lower boiler water tempera-
ture at all outdoor temperatures.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INDOOR - OUTDOOR
HOT WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL
With Adjustable Reset Ratio
THIS CONTROL MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
INSTALLER.
Do not exceed the specification ratings.
All wiring must conform to local and national electrical
codes and ordinances.
This control is a precision instrument, and should be
handled carefully. Rough handling or distorting compo-
nents could cause the control to malfunction.
This control has been accurately calibrated at the factory.
Any attempt to calibrate this control will void the White-
Rodgers warranty.
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment
damage, disconnect electric power to system at
main fuse or circuit breaker box until installation
is complete.
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified volt-
ages. Higher voltages will damage control and
could cause shock or fire hazard.

WHITE-RODGERS
Use care not to bend or dent either of the sensing bulbs
Both the outdoor bulb and inside bulb should be installed
before the control case, since capillary lengths of these bulbs will
normally determine the final location for the control case.
A. INSTALLING THE OUTDOOR BULB:
Locate the outdoor bulb so that it senses actual outdoor air
temperature. Attach mounting bracket supplied with control to
some convenient outside part of the building so that the outdoor
bulb is:
1. Exposed to circulation of air and wind.
2. Shielded from rain, snow, and direct rays of sun.
3. Not close to false sources of heat such as dryer vents,
exhaust fans, melting snow or ice, etc.
4. Sufficiently above ground to prevent tampering or being
covered with snow, ice, or debris.
B. INSTALLING THE WATER BULB:
The water bulb should be installed in a hot section of the boiler.
It should never be installed near a return inlet to the boiler.
C. INSTALLING THE CONTROL CASE:
The case of the Indoor-Outdoor Control should be installed as
follows:
1. Install it on a vertical surface such as a wall or the side of a
joist.
2. Do not install it on a heated surface such as on the boiler or
a hot water pipe.
3. Install it high enough so that it will be convenient to make
adjustments on round dial and large screw at bottom of case.
4. Install it so end of case with electrical outlet is on top.

WIRING & OPERATION
All wiring should be done in accordance with local and national electrical codes and ordinances.
This indoor-outdoor control is designed to vary boiler
temperature according to outdoor weather conditions.
For this reason, it is recommended that this control only
be used on systems where the domestic hot water supply
is heated by a separate source from the heating boiler.
The most common method for using an indoor-outdoor
control is shown in the block diagram below, and in the
wiring diagrams which follow. A separate high limit control
should always be used with an indoor-outdoor control.

Circulator Operation
1. Unzoned Systems, or Circulator-Zoned Systems — The
thermostat cycles the circulator motor (through a relay) to
meet the demand for heating.
2. System Zoned with Water Valves – Auxiliary contacts of
water valves cycle circulator motor (through a relay) to meet
the demand for heating. (The circulator runs as long as any
zone is calling for heat.)

Burner Operation
The indoor-outdoor control cycles the burner
to vary boiler temperature to outdoor weather
conditions.
When using this control as an exact replacement, use same dial settings as for old control.
A. SETTING THE ROUND DIAL:
Set the round dial for “N” initially. This will enable minor
additional adjustments to be made later if the specific instal-
lation should require it (refer to “C”.)
B. SETTING THE SQUARE DIAL:
Select the proper square dial setting from table 1 or 2 below.
For the majority of installations, the dial setting selected
should provide satisfactory boiler operation without requiring
any further dial adjustments. When required, additional
adjustments may be made as explained in “C”.

Table 2 shows suggested square dial settings for various reset
ratios. The first number of the reset ratio refers to the outdoor
bulb, the second number refers to the inside bulb. For 1-1/2 to
1 ratio, for example, each 1-1/2°F drop in outdoor temperature
will cause a 1°F increase in boiler water.

C. ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS:
If, due to system variables such as heat loss of building,
boiler size, etc., the square dial setting selected in “B” does
not give desired boiler temperatures, additional adjustments
may be made as follows:
Round Dial – One division change in the round dial setting
changes boiler water temperature about 5° at all
outdoor temperatures.
Square Dial – Changing the square dial setting 1/2 division (3
full revolutions of adjusting screw) changes boiler
water temperature about 10° at low outdoor
temperatures (0° to -20°)

D. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Charts 1, 2, and 3 show the effect which dial settings have
upon boiler water temperature under varying outside air
temperatures. Some examples of how these charts may be
used are as follows:
Example 1 (See Chart 1) – To determine boiler water tempera-
ture for 10° outside air temperature and a #3 square dial
setting, move up on 10° line until it intersects the heavy line
for a #3 square dial setting. Then move horizontally to left
and read water temperature of 150°.
Example 2 (See Chart 1) – To determine square dial setting for
desired boiler water temperature of 210° at -20° outside
temperature, move up on -20° line to 210°. Since the heavy
line for a #4 square dial setting intersects at this point, the
square dial should be set at 4.
Example 3 – Note the effect of changing setting of the round dial
from “N” (Chart 1) to 4 divisions “warmer” than “N” (Chart 3).
Water temperature has been increased 20° for all outside
temperatures.
