It is. There are actually *two schematics* on that inside cover.

I'm not sure how this lockout timer module works; but it might be the
culprit: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5518/1...27d0a8ef_o.gif

Otherwise, this is the schematic:

Two things.
The timer is there to set delays between various operatins and you will
be very confused if you expect things to happen immediatly whenever the
conditions change.

The Thermostat must always be mounted as though it was on the wall so
that the mercury switches will operate correctly.
