12 volt DC wiring installation
The Avent pellet stove is designed to operate on a 12 volt DC battery system for extended back-up periods. This system may
also be used in conjunction with 12 volt solar systems.
Warning: The structural integrity of the home must be maintained if installing this system.
Disconnect 110 power source before connection of 12 volt dc battery. Determine proper length of 18 gage stranded wire to run
from battery to unit.
Install ½” conduit if passing through a wall or floor.
Connect Red 18 gauge stranded wire to red (+)terminal and Black 18 gauge stranded wire to black (-) terminal on back of
stove.
Pass wires through conduit leaving room for a drip loop between connections so that moisture will not get on connections.
Install a 4 amp inline fuse on the red (+) lead near the battery.
Connect the red (+) lead to the positive terminal and the black (-) lead to the negative terminal on the battery. Reconnect the
110 power source and the unit is ready to operate. The system will switch between 12 volt and 110 volt and charge the battery
automatically depending on power needs.
