THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
REQUIRED PARTS
TYPE OF THERMOSTAT
The SunFire 150 does not require an authorized or specific thermostat to regulate the temperature. A simple wall thermostat is all that is necessary. The only requirement is that the thermostat must not Require a power source because it will damage the primary control of the heater. Please use a basic manual or battery operated thermostat.
THERMOSTAT WIRE CONNECTION
You will be connecting the thermostat wires to the two wires sticking out of the back of the burner control box as seen in the image on the right.
THERMOSTAT PLACEMENT
You can place the thermostat at your desired distance on a wall or on the SunFire burner control box but there is no specific mounting location included or required. The most popular location is on a wall about 10 – 20 feet away.
STEP 1
