ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

NOTE: OPEN VALVE DOOR UNDER THE ASH LIP FOR ELECTRICAL AND GAS CONNECTIONS.

THERMOSTAT

The ON/OFF/T’stat switch or wall mounted

thermostat controls the Tucson. We recommend installation of the thermostat for more comfortable performance, however you may still override the thermostat by setting the switch to “ON”. The thermostat controls the unit by “calling for heat.” The thermostat turns the unit on when the room is cold, and turns the unit off once the room is warmed sufficiently. The thermostat is controlled by a 750 millivolt DC two-wire circuit.

REMOTE CONTROL

There are two different optional remote controls. Both of the remote controls are capable of turning the unit on and off. One of the optional remotes also allows you to control the temperature of the stove, (in the same way the thermostat controls the heater), from anywhere in the vicinity of the unit. If “ON” & “OFF” are the only controls required, Kit #90-56912 can be used. If you would like to control the temperature via the remote control, use Kit #90-56914. Installation instructions are provided with the kits.

THERMOSTAT PLACEMENT

The thermostat should be placed in the same room or living space as the unit. Typically 5’ (1.5m) off the floor and away from any influences that may cause the temperature in the vicinity of the thermostat to be unrepresentative of the room temperature in general. Such influences might include strong lighting, a heater vent from the

central heating system, or a nearby drafty window.

Placement of the thermostat on an inside wall rather than an outside wall is preferable. Do not place the thermostat directly behind or too close to the unit, otherwise heat from the unit will immediately satisfy the thermostat and turn the unit off.

THERMOSTAT WIRING

The thermostat should be connected to the Tucson using no more than 40’ (12 m) of the provided insulated thermostat wire. The thermostat wire from the Tucson to the thermostat can be surface mounted or routed under the floor, through walls, etc.

Be sure to leave a small coil of thermostat wire behind the Tucson so that the unit can be moved out of position for servicing and cleaning.

Connect one of the thermostat wires to the gas control marked TH and the other to the yellow wire coming from the on/off T’stat switch. When making these connections, position the thermostat wire so that it extends towards the wall behind the Tucson, then towards the thermostat.

At the thermostat, the wires should be connected to the two connection screws on the back of the thermostat per the instructions received with the thermostat. Take care not to over-tighten the connection screws and not to damage the internal parts of the thermostat.
