identifies operator coil voltage* (see table below)
TYPE
1A65-641 8B48A-217 36C03U-333 Dash number identifies a specific device within a
control model. Model number plus dash number/
type number
1939-1962 — Letter indicated year of manufacture
— 1 or 2 digit number (1-52) indicated week of manufacture
Example
:
X49
was the 49th week of 1959
1963-1975 — First 1 or 2 digit number indicated month of manufacture (1-12)
— Following two digit number indicated year of manufacture (63-75)
— Letter following numbers indicated week of manufacture (A-E)
Example
:
1175C
was the 3rd week of November, 1975
1976-present — First two digits indicate year of manufacture (15-20)
— Last two digits indicate week of manufacture (15-20)
Example
:
1520
was the 20th week of 2015

A GUIDE TO THE WHITE-RODGERS NUMBERING SYSTEM
Older models start with the dash in the basic Model Number, then working to the left, eliminate all letters. The number remaining will give you
the Series and Control Category listed in the box below.
Example:
1F56-301
Leave out the letter
F
, the number remaining is
156
or a
100 Series
of Room Thermostats
Example:
21D18-3
Leave out the letter
