DR-001 Wall Thermostat 4 wires single or Double poles 120-277V 3360-7756W, White.

Easy to hook up and works well with the Heater. Since all the cold air in the garage settles, I mounted the thermostat about 3 feet from the floor since that’s where I work on cars and other items. Versus up at eye level.

Bought my Dr. Heater a few years ago but got tired of going out and then forgetting about leaving it on. Installed this and now the shop cycles and maintains a constant temperature.

What the instructions don't mention is that you need to unhook the on board thermostat, and connect those wires together.

Most will be using 10/2 Romex with ground on a 30 amp breaker - this product touts a 28Amp. Rating, a breaker should always protect the wire. The housing of the device is also metal but is ungrounded - it is supposedly isolated. Any variation of temp reading from the unit vs a thermometer can be attributed to wire and device heating instead of actual temperature but the device is accurate.To make this product better use a larger work box (4 gang, grounded if applicable) to disperse the build up of heat from the wires and make the unit more accurate. This product would be better if it came with such an enclosure and I am still dubious to the lack of grounding for the metal encasement but for the price it works I would have paid more for more. I just wish it was implemented better. I bought this to work with a 5kw comfort zone heater and it does what it needs to. Easy to install, don’t cut any strands off the tinned copper and use as large of an enclosure you can to keep it accurate.

It's a nice thermostat but I don't think is very accurate. It's probably typical for dial type. Plastic cover won't click back after removal during installation but it's holding in place. One nice feature is it does have an OFF. My heater will turn off when I dial to OFF. Overall, it's a good thermostat and price is very good. It's doing what I bought it for.

Heavy Duty, Well Made!!!! Works Well!!!! And BTW Reccomend!!!!! great control for electric heaters!!!!

I mounted a DR-975 heater 1 foot below the ceiling in my shop, per the DR-975 Owners Manual. I could find no way to prevent it from short cycling using its internal sensor.Installing this DR-001 external thermostat solved that problem. If you plan to mount a DR Heater within 3 feet of a ceiling, buy and install this external wired thermostat as well.

GOT THIS TO GO WITH MY OVERHEAD GARAGE HEATER. IT'S A HIGH VOLTAGE THERMOSTAT. I HAD AN ELECTRICIAN COME IN AND WIRE MY SHOP. HE HOOKED THIS THERMOSTAT UP TO MY HEATER. IT WORKS GREAT. I DON'T GET HUNG UP OVER DETAILS SO IF IT'S OFF BY A COUPLE OF DEGREE'S I'LL NEVER KNOW IT. ALL I KNOW IS IT WORKS LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO AND KEEPS MY SHOP NICE AND COMFORTABLE. IF YOUR PLANNING ON INSTALLING HEAT IN YOUR GARAGE OR SHOP AND YOU DON'T WANT TO MESS AROUND WITH WIRING CONTACTORS AND RELAYS AND TIMERS. GET ONE OF THESE. THEY SWITCH THE HIGH VOLTAGE SIDE AND ARE VERY EASY TO INSTALL. THANSK
