Hi Alan,

Thanks - if I use such a thermostat on a 12 V PV input there should
be no problem with the exposed terminals of such a unit - it wouldn't
be code (or safe!) on a 120/240 > 12 V power supply input without
some sort of enclosure.  But I'm leaning toward PV powered anyway if
I can keep the cost down so that may just work.

Thanks for the reference I appreciate it!

Jeff C.
