I need the test procedures for checking Ranco C12-9018 Electro-Mechanical Thermostats. Can someone please help. Budget is tighter than ever in Multifamily Housing.

It's just a standard thermostatic switch. Do the contacts open and close when you move the dial above or below setpoint?

Xenos.

No Xenos. If the contacts do not open and close when moving the knob above and below setpoint, is there a way to adjust the stat so additional life can be wrung out of it? By the way , thanks for the info on the Lennox System awhile back.

Nope, the refrigerant would have leaked out of it. It's time for a replacement.
