Resideo T498B1553 Thermostat
The Resideo T498B1553 Electric Heat Thermostat is a heavy-duty, line-voltage control designed for high-amperage heating applications. This DPST electric baseboard thermostat features a Double Pole Single Throw switch, providing a positive off position for increased safety by breaking both sides of the power line. Engineered for vertical mount installation, this unit effectively manages fan-forced heaters and electric convectors with a high noninductive resistive rating of 22 Amps at 120/208/240Vac and 19 Amps at 277Vac. The integrated bimetal sensor ensures 1-degree accuracy, maintaining a tight 3-degree temperature differential across an ambient temperature range of 40-80°F. Finished in brushed gold, the T498B1553 is a reliable solution for technicians requiring a rugged 1-stage heat controller capable of handling the high inrush currents typical of electric resistance heating systems. Its mechanical design eliminates the need for batteries, ensuring consistent performance in demanding residential or light commercial environments.
- High Amperage Capacity: Rated for up to 22 Amps, making it suitable for large-scale electric baseboard heaters.
- DPST Switching: Provides a mechanical "Off" position that disconnects both poles for safer maintenance.
- Precision Control: Features a bimetal sensing element with a narrow differential to prevent rapid cycling.
- Universal Compatibility: Supports a wide voltage range including 120, 208, 240, and 277Vac applications.
- Rugged Construction: Built for vertical mounting with a durable finish that withstands long-term use in high-traffic areas.
Common Questions
Can the Resideo T498B1553 be used for low voltage systems?
No, this is a line-voltage thermostat specifically designed for high-voltage resistive loads. It cannot be used with 24V control circuits common in central furnaces.
What is the benefit of a DPST (Double Pole Single Throw) switch?
A DPST thermostat breaks both sides of the electrical line when turned to the off position, ensuring no power is reaching the heater, whereas a SPST switch only breaks one side.
Is this thermostat compatible with fan-forced wall heaters?
Yes, the T498B1553 is designed to handle the inductive loads associated with fan-forced heaters and conventional electric baseboards.
