Watchman 9-90 Owner'S Manual Download Page 2

1. Consult manufacturer’s manuals

When installing a Condar Watchman™ with any wood-
burning stove or fireplace, first consult manufacturer’s 
manual for catalyst operation information. While visual 
LED read-out is accurate within 50 degrees,

 target 

operating temperature or engage-catalyst temperature 
for your wood-burner may vary from general guide

.

This product isn’t an automatic thermostat. Informed 
and watchful consumer operation is required to operate 
your wood-burner properly.

 Audio beep-codes are 

programmed for signaling operation of typical wood-
burners, but may vary from instructions in your  
specific product’s owner’s manual

.

Condar’s factory in Columbus, North Carolina can 
reprogram electronic beep codes to customize the 
Watchman monitor for your application. 

There’s a labor 

charge, and customer pays shipping

. For information 

about costs and turn-around time, please e-mail

2. Install batteries inside monitor (9-90 only)

Monitor power source:  9-volt battery included

 

Install from marked side only.

Remove three black end-cap screws only on the one 
side that’s marked

. You can use one or two alkaline 

or lithium 9-volt batteries, but don’t mix battery types. 
Two batteries operate in parallel, not in series. To install 
optional second battery, push down (don’t remove) the 
foam. Remove insulator cap from second pair of connector 
wires to install a second battery.

3. Where to locate the electronic monitor

The 6-foot thermocouple cable allows you to locate 
Watchman monitor well away from stove or fireplace. 
Don’t place on any surface that will exceed 110 degrees.  
If it’s to hang on a wall, use metal strip with screws, 
included as optional hanger.

4. Locate the probe into your stove or fireplace

It’s important probe end is properly located, to measure 
accurately catalysis temperatures within the combustor  
“honeycomb.” ½ inch to 1½ inch away from the ceramic or 
steel is ideal. 

Don’t have probe actually touching the  

combustor

. If manufacturer’s hole for locating probe & 

cable isn’t obvious, or if you need to drill a hole, consult 
your authorized dealer for instructions.

5. Attach cable to Watchman monitor

After locating probe & cable correctly, connect the yellow 
K-plugs at the back of the monitor. 

When disconnecting 

the K-plugs, carefully pull them apart

. Never yank 

the cable out, because this will break the delicate 
thermocouple wire inside the K-plug. Repair to K-plug and 
cable will be charged for, during Condar factory repairs.

All thermocouple cables and monitors are quality-tested 
before leaving Condar’s North Carolina factory.
