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.

The thermostat should be connected to the 
Tucson using no more than 40’ (12 m) of the 
provided insulated thermostat wire. The 
thermostat wire from the Tucson to the 
thermostat can be surface mounted or routed 
under the floor, through walls, etc. 
 
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.
