7 Electrical Information

A. Recommendation for Wire

See Figure 7.1 for recommended maximum lead length (two wire) when using wall thermostat/switch.

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.

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

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

8.Ensure the thermostat is mounted level for accurate readings.

9.The thermostat should be mounted on an inside wall and not in direct line with the appliance convection air.

10.If the thermostat is located too close to the appli- ance, you may need to set the temperature setting slightly higher to maintain the desired temperature in your home.

Do not connect this appliance to a thermostat serving any other appliance.

B. Connecting to the Appliance

WARNING

Wire 110V to electrical junction box.

Do NOT wire 110V to valve.

Do NOT wire 110V to wall switch.

Incorrect wiring will damage millivolt valves.

Incorrect wiring will override IPI safety lockout and may cause explosion.

1.This appliance may be used with a wall switch, wall mounted thermostat and / or a remote control

Bedroom installation in Canada requires this appliance to be connected to a thermostat.

WARNING

Shock hazard.

This appliance is equipped with a three pronged (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the ground- ing prong from this plug.

2.If using thermostat, use one compatible with a millivolt gas valve system.

3.Follow parameters for locating thermostat (see individ- ual thermostat instructions) to ensure proper operation of appliance.

4.Use low resistance thermostat wire for wiring from ignition system to the wall switch and thermostat.

5.Use the following chart for wire sizing.

C. IntelliFire® Ignition System Wiring

This appliance requires a 110 VAC supply to the appliance junction box for operation. A wiring diagram is shown in Figure 7.2 on the next page.

This appliance is equipped with an IntelliFire® control valve which operates on a 3 volt system.

This appliance is supplied with a 3 volt AC transformer, which requires the installation of the supplied junction box.

This appliance is supplied with a battery pack that requires two D cell batteries (not included). Batteries cannot be placed in the battery pack while using the 3 volt AC transformer. Conversely, the transformer must be unplugged if the battery pack is used.

CAUTION

Battery polarity must be correct or module damage will occur.
