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.

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.

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.

When installing the thermostat, do not cut and
splice the thermostat wire. This will create a
voltage drop that will case your unit to run
improperly
The thermostat should be connected to the
Tucson using no more than 40’ (12 m) of the
provided insulated thermostat wire. 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.
