Thermostat on p38 Help. (please)

fighting_demons said:

Hello everyone,

I have a Harman p-38 that I would like to use a wireless thermostat with. The one I bought is this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/27069522789...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_814wt_1131.

The problem I'm having is when I connect the receiver to the two terminals on the board the stove goes to turbo and stays. (This is when the thermo is not calling for heat) When I checked the receiver leads with an ohmmeter I get no continuity. Am I correct that the receiver just acts as a switch or am I missing something. I am wondering if maybe the receiver is defective? Or is this thermostat not designed to be used with this stove? This forum is a great resource and I am thankful for all the great posters.

Think the OP was looking for a wireless unit. Search the forums for wireless t-stat. I use a skytech wireless.

Thanks Silverfox,
I should have done my DD before I bought this. Running the wire is the problem. I'll figure it out.

Tom,
how far did you locate your thermo from the stove. part of the reason I wanted to go wireless was to experiment with different locations.
thanks again

Wrong type of thermostat: This is the type you need: http://www.smarthome.com/29903H/Rob...-Mechanical-Thermostat-SPST-Horizontal/p.aspx

That model works, HD and Lowes have a similar one, that is probably OK. It is a mechanical thermostat, other types won't work. I tried.
