Electrical Requirements
All field wiring to the patio heater must be done in accordance with the national, state, provincial, local
codes and the guidelines in this manual. In the United States, refer to the most current revisions to the
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 and in Canada refer to the most current revisions of the Canadian
Electrical Code CSA C22.1 Part 1. The unit must be electrically grounded according to these codes.
This patio heater system is designed to operate on an external 24VAC electrical system. Provide only
24VAC with a NEC Class 2 transformer to the control wires inside the controls compartment. Use at least
18 AWG Solid core thermostat type wire that has an adequate capacity and temperature rating for the
total load. Never locate the transformer inside the controls compartment.
Installing the control wire
Each heater includes a rubber grommet to allow
for control wire to be brought into the unit with a
water resistant seal. Feed the control wire
through the grommet, piercing the rubber with
the wire. Ensure enough wire length is available
to make the proper connections. Tie the control
wire into a loose knot, as shown in Figure 2.6.
Ensure knot is loose enough to not cause any
damage to the wire. This will allow for a strain
relief for the connections to the heater.
Wiring: From the control wire, connect the
24VAC to the blue wire (labeled “24VAC”) inside
the control compartment. Then connect the
Common from the control wire to the green wire
(labeled “Common”). See Fig 2.8, page 18.
Controls Operation
This patio heater was designed for use in an outdoor environment. Therefore, controlling the heater by
use of a thermostat may not be the best means of temperature control. In an outdoor application, the air
temperature may not increase and never satisfy the thermostat. The preferred control device when
operating this heater in an outdoor area is a switching or timer device.
In an application where there are several wind breaks or a partially enclosed area, a thermostat can be
used.
NOTICE
The power supply to the heater must be /-5% of the voltage rating as indicated on the rating plate
of the appliance. If input power does not meet these specifications, contact your utility company.
WARNING
!
Incorrect or improper wiring may result in shock, injury or death. Field wiring to the heater
must be connected and grounded in accordance with national, state, provincial, local codes
and to the guidelines in this manual. Refer to the most current revisions to the ANSI/NFPA
70 Standard.
