What do the decimals on the thermostat mean?

I have an old non digital thermostat and when i take the cover off, there is a dial with decimals on it.



.15 - 1.2



I'm pretty sure it represents how long the heater/aircon will stay on and then shut off, but can someone explain it to me?What do the decimals on the thermostat mean?Called a heat anticipator. The numbers are the amp draw on the low voltage when the heat is energized. The higher it is set the longer the heat cycle will be.

If set too high it may overshoot the temperature setting.

Too low and it will cycle the heat off before it reaches temp.What do the decimals on the thermostat mean?Hmmm, not sure. It might be the settings for the heater and how long it stays on,

But, even though there are better answers, can you pick mine???



Thanks!!!What do the decimals on the thermostat mean?yes they are an adjustment to how long the blower will run or circulator which ever you have.
