Good afternoon, I am installing a thermostat (Lux TX1500U) to my 10-CPM Pellet stove and the install seemed pretty straight forward. I put one wire to the G terminal and another wire to the W1 terminal, and then put both wires to the thermostat terminals on the Stove's control panel.

The thermostat seems to have no impact on the stove whatsoever. It will call for heat, but the stove does not answer, and when it calls for the heat to shut off, it also has no impact. The Stove seems to be behaving the same... hit the on button and it fires up.

Any suggestions other than rechecking the wires? I have the stove going to warm the house up now, but will recheck the terminal wires once I can shut the stove off again.

I assume I should use the 1 Stage or 2-Stage Heating Only wire configuration for the stove? Also, anyone know what the C & P stands for when you press both down arrows on start-up? I had read from imacman that both down arrows toggles between on/off & low/high mode if you have a control board that supports it.

Thank you!
 
I'm not sure about your unit but on my old Englander there was a jumper on the control panel
 
Thank you for the response fmsm. I indeed removed the jumper from the terminals and put the two wires from the tstat in their place. According to Englander instructions it does not matter which color goes into which terminal.

800-245-6489 ask for mike

Will do, thank you Mike. Was hoping not to bother you guys, but I guess that is what you are there for. :)
 
one wire goes to RH and the other goes to W.my guess would be c=corn and p=pellet since its a multifueler.hope this helps.i have the same t-stat

Those are the correct connections in the stat for the wires.

As for "C" and "P", I have no idea what those are. The switch from corn to pellets, or vice versa involves the numbers 1 or 5. See P. 16 in your owners manual.
 
Great thanks Corkman! I spoke with Englander and you are correct about C & P too.

Thank you for verifying macman.
 
I,ll be wanting to know how you make out and what the fix was?
Had the same proplem with my stove.
Stat is on the wall wires are run.
Put the jumper back, colds here and don't want it to shut off.
But like the idea of hi-low.

The fix was that he had the stat wires on the wrong connectors in the stat. W & Rh are the correct ones.

The hi-lo on your stove is independent of using a stat. You can put it in hi-lo even without the stat.

Let me know if you need the directions to change the setting.
