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.

EMOTE ONTROL
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.

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

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, avoid cutting
and splicing the thermostat wire. This can create
a voltage drop that will cause your unit to run
improperly
Connect the thermostat to the Tucson using no more
than 40' (12 m) of the provided insulated thermostat
wire. Ensure 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
in thermostat. Take care not to over-tighten the
connection screws and not to damage the internal
