Thermostat Location & Wiring To Fireplace - Quadra-Fire Pioneer-III-ABK Owner's Manual

2. Thermostat Location and Wiring to Fireplace
The kit comes with a programmable wall thermostat (C1)
and 25' of thermostat wire (C2). If you need to run more
than 25' make sure you use a continuous strand of 18 to
22 gauge thermostat wire. For optimum performance your
thermostat should be:
• Mounted on an inside wall, approximately 5' above the
floor
• Do not locate where there is poor air circulation such
as in a corner, alcove, behind doors, bookcase or
other objects
• Located away from drafts, direct sunlight, above a
lamp, television, radiator, a wall next to a window, or
direct heat from the appliance
• Avoid damp environments as this can lead to corrosion
that may shorten thermostat life
• If painting or construction work around, cover the
thermostat completely or wait until work is complete
before installation.
• The thermostat wire will be installed on the opposite
side of where the electric comes in at. See Figure 3.6.
