WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR 24 VOLT ZONE HEATERS
1. Mount Power Supply in convenient location near electrical panel WITHIN 3 FEET OF OUTLET. Outlet should
be separately fused – 15 AMP.
2. Mount junction box over each thermostat location selected.
3. Run 14-2 romex from connections on Power Supply to nearest junction box and continue on the other
junction boxes (if used).
4. Run 14-2 romex over each line of brooders to be hooked up to Zone Control. Lines should be run adjacent
the gas line. If more than one thermostat (zones) is to be used – black wire should be cut between zones.
5. Cut outer insulation ONLY on romex over each brooder to expose black and white wires. DO NOT OR STRIP
WIRES. Bare ground wires in not used.
6. Using "T" tap connectors connect wire from brooder valve (24V) to romex—white to white; black to black.
Note—cut off excess wire from valve.
7. Connect together in junction box using wire nuts:
a. Black from Power Supply, Black to next junction box (if used), Black from thermostat.
b. White from Power Supply, White to next junction box (if used), White from line over brooders.
c. White from thermostat to black from line over brooders.
8. Light brooders in usual manner and set ZONE thermostat for desired temperature.
9. Check for voltage drops to brooder.
Locate thermostat at feed line between center of heater and 10ft from center, 12 to 16
inches from the floor
