Pentair 300k BTU installation help

[timjet]

For the life of me I can't find the place to connect the 2 wires from my Pentair EasyTouch panel to my new Pentair Gas heater. The installation manual is vague in that it shows a drawing but nowhere does it show where the connection is. It just says to connect it. Any help is really appreciated.

The firemans switch is the two center bottom terminals with the yellow wires on the block below the Fenwal box. The right terminal has the fuse. You remove the jumper and run a wire from one fireman's switch terminal to the one connection of the J19 terminal in Easytouch and then a wire from the other J19 terminal back to the other fireman's switch terminal or similar connections in other automation controllers.

The MasterTemp Installation Manual specifies to use 18 gauge wire with a minimum 3/64” (1.2mm) thick insulation rated for a temperature rise of at least 105°C. The area the wire passes through can get hot and melt wire insulation.

Thanks ajw22. Upon closer examination of the manual I see now that the fireman's switch is located in a box with a cover that's screwed shut. Looking at the diagram in the manual the arrow the manual shows I thought I was cable ribbon connecting 2 circuit boards. My bad.
