THERMOSTAT WIRING AND LOCATION
NOTICE: The thermostat must be mounted on a 
vertical, vibration-free surface, free from air currents, 
and in accordance with the furnished instructions.
Mount the thermostat approximately 5 feet (1.5m) above 
the fl oor, in an area where it will be exposed to a free 
circulation of average temperature air. Always refer to the 
thermostat instructions, as well as our unit wiring 
diagram, and wire accordingly. Avoid mounting the 
thermostat in the following locations:
1. Cold Areas- Outside walls or areas where drafts may 
affect the operation of the control.
2. Hot Areas- Areas where the sun’s rays, radiation, or
warm air currents may affect the operation of the 
control.
3. Dead Areas- Areas where the air cannot circulate
freely, such as behind doors or in corners.
NOTICE: Thermostat wires tagged “W” and “G” must 
be connected together except when using a general 
purpose “SPDT” 24VAC relay and standard 
thermostat with a subbase, or when using a 
Honeywell T834H or T834N thermostat. Also refer to 
Figure 5 for other wiring connections.

THERMOSTAT HEAT ANTICIPATOR ADJUSTMENTS
The initial heat anticipator setpoint should equal the 
thermostat’s current amperage draw when the unit is 
firing. This setpoint should be measured for the best 
results. Use the recommended ranges for a guide. If 
further information is needed, consult your thermostat 
manufacturer’s instructions. 
Recommended heat anticipator setting ranges:
25 feet (7.6m) T'stat wiring
50 feet T'stat wiring
0.85 to 0.90 A
0.90 to 1.1 A Max.
