WARNING: Read and fol-
low installation instructions.
Installation should be done by
a qualified installer familiar with
low-voltage wiring procedures.
WARNING: Do not connect
this thermostat to any electrical
source! Electrical shock and/or
fire hazard will occur.
1. Disconnect jumper wire from control valve
(see Figure 31).
2. Connect one terminal of 25 ft. wire to “TPTH”
terminal on control valve (see Figure 31).
3. Connect remaining wire terminal to the “TH”
terminal on the control valve. Make sure that
wire terminals are in the positions on your unit
as pictured in Figure 31.
4. Route the 25 ft. wire to a convenient location
to mount your thermostat (no outside wall).
IMPORTANT: The wire may be shortened but
must not be lengthened.
The thermostat should be mounted 54" above
the floor in a location where there is good
air circulation. Avoid heat sources such as
lamps, direct sunlight, fireplace or heat and
air conditioning ducts.
5. Gently remove the cover of the thermostat
from the base. Grasp the sides of the cover
firmly and pull to separate from the base.
6. Feed the electrical wires through the rectangular
slots on each side of the base (see Figure 32).
WARNING: Do not con-
nect the thermostat to a power
source. Electrical shock and/or
a fire hazard will occur.
7. Connect one bare wire end to each terminal
(“W” and “R”) of the thermostat base (see
Figure 33).
8. Install the base onto the wall with the provided
screws.
