The heat anticipator controls the length of time the furnace operates per cycle. It should be adjusted to the furnace control (milli)ampere setting listed on the furnace or measured thru the stat wires.
I am confused by the phrase "2 wire no electricity system". What is the purpose of the wires, if not to conduct electricity?
Snap action and bi-metal depend on flexing of metal due to temp changes, to open and close the stat contacts.
The magnet inhibits contact chatter.
The advantages of many digital stats are not insignificant.
Easy to read lighted digital display
Adjustable cycle rate
Adjustable min/max temp settings
Low stat battery freeze protection
These features may be not available on all digital stats.
