10 Electrical Information

A. Recommendation for Wire

This appliance requires 110-120 VAC be wired directly to the transformer. See Figure 10.1.

1.Ensure that the electrical service being installed to the appliance is turned “OFF” by verifying with a volt meter.

WARNING

Shock hazard.

Wire 110V to transformer.

Do NOT wire 110V to valve.

Do NOT wire 110V to wall switch.

•Incorrect wiring will damage millivolt valves.

•Incorrect wiring will override HSI safety lockout and may cause explosion.

2.Bring the electrical service wire through the wire re- straint located on the right side of the appliance. Leave about 10 inches of electric service wire inside the ap- pliance for the Black (L1) and White (N) wires, leave 16 inches of slack for the service ground wire to reach its grounding screw located beneath the remote.

3.Locate the (2) female insulated connectors installed on the Transformer and the (1) ground connector screwed beneath the remote control receiver. See Figure 10.1.

Note: The factory installed yellow female insulated connectors

(2)and yellow ground connector (1) are designed for use with 10/12 AWG wire. If another gauge wire is being used, these connectors should be replaced with the appropriate gauge insulated connectors to ensure a proper connection. See Figure 10.1.

4.Connect the L1 (Black) service wire to the supplied yellow female insulated connector located on trans- former terminal (23) using a wire crimping tool.

5.Connect the neutral (White) service wire to the yellow female insulated connector located on transformer ter- minal (1) using a wire crimping tool.

6.Connect the ground (Green) wire to the 1/4 in. ground screw located on the front right of the transformer bracket. See Figure 10.2.

Note: The system is polarity sensitive. Polarity must be correct for this ﬁreplace to operate correctly.

Note: This appliance must be electrically wired and grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C221.1.

•A 110-120 VAC circuit for this product must be protected with ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection, in compliance with the applicable electrical codes, when it is installed in locations such as in bathrooms or near sinks.

B. Connecting to the Appliance

Connectors are factory installed.

These are approved for 10/12 AWG wire.

Figure 10.1

WARNING

Wire 110V to terminal block.

Do NOT wire 110V to valve.

Do NOT wire 110V to wall switch.

•Incorrect wiring will damage this valve.

•Incorrect wiring will override HSI safety lockout and may cause explosion.

•This appliance comes factory wired with a remote control for operation. The remote can be removed and the appliance can be wired to run off of a standard wall switch. Refer to the wiring diagram for more information.

•Keep wire lengths short as possible by removing any excess wire length.

•Low voltage and 110 VAC voltage cannot be shared within the same wall box.

Cyclone-BN, Cyclone-BC specifications

Hearth and Home Technologies has made significant strides in the realm of home heating with its Cyclone series, which includes the Cyclone-BC and Cyclone-BN models. These wood-burning fireplaces are engineered with cutting-edge technologies that ensure efficient and environmentally friendly heating, making them popular choices for homeowners seeking both functionality and aesthetics.

One of the standout features of the Cyclone series is its innovative air wash system. This technology works to keep the glass panel clean by directing a stream of pre-heated air along the inside surface, effectively reducing the accumulation of soot and ash. As a result, users can enjoy a clear view of the mesmerizing flames without the hassle of constant cleaning.

In terms of efficiency, the Cyclone-BC and Cyclone-BN models boast an exceptional thermal efficiency rating. Thanks to their advanced combustion technology, these fireplaces burn wood more completely, resulting in less smoke and harmful emissions. The high-efficiency design not only benefits the environment but also ensures that heat is maximized, helping to lower heating costs for homeowners.

The construction of the Cyclone fireplaces is another highlight. Built with high-quality materials, these units are designed to withstand the rigors of daily use and maintain their performance over time. Their robust firebox is engineered to accommodate larger logs, offering longer burn times and fewer reloads.

Both models are highly versatile in their aesthetic appeal. The Cyclone-BC features a classic, traditional design that fits seamlessly into a variety of home decors, while the Cyclone-BN leans toward a more contemporary style. Homeowners can customize the look even further with different finishing options, allowing for a personalized touch that complements their unique interior settings.

Safety is paramount in the design of the Cyclone series. These fireplaces come equipped with advanced safety features, including a protective screen and secure door latch, providing peace of mind for families. Additionally, the heat output can be easily controlled, allowing users to adjust the flame and temperature to their desired comfort level.

In conclusion, Hearth and Home Technologies’ Cyclone-BC and Cyclone-BN fireplaces deliver on both performance and style. With efficient heating capabilities, innovative technologies, and a range of design options, these wood-burning units are an exceptional choice for those looking to enhance their living space while enjoying the warmth and ambiance that only a real fire can provide.
