`
`ABSTRACT
`
`The present invention provides preferably one or optionally
`tWo printed circuit boards that project from supports on a
`single cover plate into the Wall opening formed preferably
`for a standard 3.5 inch by 2 1/16 inch junction or outlet boX.
`ScreW holes are provided in the cover plate to match the
`_
`_
`,
`,
`,
`standard screW holes in the single junction boX and a high
`degree of functionality is provided in the programmable
`thermostat via the components on the printed circuit board
`such that the printed circuit boards are about only as long as
`the distance betWeen those screW holes and still ?t Within the
`Width of the single junction boX.
