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
