16. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND THERMOSTAT CONTROL

All electrical installations must meet local and the latest edition Electrical Code PART 1 CSA

C22.1 in Canada and ANSI/NFPA N0 70 in the U.S.A.. Single heater requires 24 Volt, 60 Hz

electrical transformer sized at 40VA. If multiple heaters are connected to a single transformer,

the proper transformer is 24 Volt, 60 Hz, sized at 40VA for the first heater, and 20VA each for

all subsequent additional heaters. For example, four heaters wired together [parallel], require

a transformer of 100 VA. It is recommended to install at most 2 heaters per zone for best

comfort control and economy of operation. PROPER WIRING POLARITY MUST BE MAIN-

TAINED, particularly when grouping the heaters in a zone.

Total wiring distances of up to 200' must use minimum 16 gauge electrical wire, and wiring

distances of over 200' must use minimum 14 gauge electrical wire. The heater must be elec-

trically grounded in accordance with the local

electrical code. Malfunction of the heating system will result if the voltage varies by more than

±10%.

The heater can be controlled by a line moisture proof thermostat “off-on” switch, or Remote

Control. Total load of all heaters must be considered in determining the required contact rat-

ing of the controlling thermostat or switch.

16.1 CONTROL OPTIONS

Patio Heaters can be operated using Remote Control Option: [Except 2352 / IO-252 2-stage]

• JP-1236-RK Remote Receiver Kit [field installs in heater]

• JP-1236-HS Remote Handset

• Refer to the manual accompanying the Remote Receiver Kit for installation.

Two-Stage Model 2352 / IO-252 requires one of the Illuminated Switch Gang 2-Stage Control

options. These switches have [and must have] a special “Off”, “On”, “On” sequence that pow-

ers the heater and two-stage gas valve. Each switch is illuminated when in the “On” position

for easy recognition of heater status.
