Thermostat info

Looking for info on hooking up honeywell T87K manuel thermostat to Harmon magnum stoker, hook up point on Harmon control box has no markings as far as I know. Any particulaer way to hook up with polarity etc. Thanks in advance.

its just bell wire 2 conductor

and here is a link to the stove manual in pdf format

Thanks for info but does it matter how it is hooked up in thermostat R or W. I guess not but what about lugs on stove.

The thermostat connections on the back panel of the Stoker Control are .25 inch male quick connect terminals. The mating connectors (supplied) should be .25 inch female quick connector terminals. The wire should be no smaller than 22 gauge.
The thermostat connections should only be connected across the thermostat switch inside the thermostat unit. This switch is the type which opens (turns off) when the set point temperature is reached, and closes (turns on) when the room temperature falls below the temperature. (This is the type supplied with the unit.

on the Thermostat

1. Loosen screw terminals, insert wires into terminal block, then re-tighten screws.
2. Push excess wire back into the wall opening.
3. Plug the wall opening with nonflammable insulation to prevent drafts from affecting thermostat operation.

Nothing is polarity sensitive...does NOT matter.

A t'stat in just a simple switch for on or off operation.
