Can I connect this to the furnace end of the run, not the circuit box?
1516075
yes you can install this at the furnace if you have a convenient place to mount it and connect it. You can actually interrupt the same wire that you would have interrupted in the breaker panel but just do it on the other end of the wire. (where it comes into the furnace). I was going to mount mine on the furnace but in the final analysis I had more room next to the breaker panel because my furnace was in a tight spot.

Yes this can be wired into off- on switch at furnace. This is how I have mine hooked up.The instructions have this hook up, read very carefully its there.
1516077
Yes you can with 3 wire cable from furnace junction box to the transfer switch. If you do not know how to connect it consult an electricianDon

Yes in theory you can and you are thinking how much easier it will be I am sure. The problem is how far away the generator will be. If you do this please get an extremely long extension cord or put two together. I read stories about people using generators too close to the garage door and exhaust getting into the home because they are too close to the house. If you search this device on youtube you will see I made a popular video on how to install this. I am not an electrical expert and managed to do it. On youtube search "Generator to Furnace Transfer Switch" my channel is displayfireworks2008. I would post the video link but they would probably block it.

Well, it is not recommended as the line may backfeed from the generator to the panel thereby defeating the purpose of the 'hand-off-auto' which is a fail-safe design.

I had this switch installed next to the furnace in my basement. The electrician just tapped into the electric feed to my furnace and mounted a junction box to provide a wire nut connection to the transfer switch.

Models TF151 and TF201 are for making the electrical connections on or in the furnace instead of the electrical panel. The models with the "W" contain a pre-wired flexible conduit whip and fittings.

Good question, this thermostat doesn't have a ground wire connection so I would wire the breaker wire ground to the heaters ground wire. Read your manuals first before wiring any product.

Yes, and very well. Need to make sure your humidifier/ furnace have the right control module to connect to this thermostat.

Yes it can. It's a single circuit, 15 amp 120 volt transfer switch. So you can use it for a furnace, OR, really any other 15A circuit. But ... it only switches 1 circuit. If you plan to run anything else that's on another breaker in your panel box, you'll need a different transfer switch (and a fatter wallet)

That is the EIM (Equipment Interface Module) which gets wired directly to the furnace and broadcasts the wireless signal for the remote thermostat in order for it to control your HVAC system. It can be placed anywhere you can run 18/5 thermostat wire (I installed mine on the return air duct)

If you use the schematic listed for "Automatic" operation (i.e. intercept the "G" wire between the thermostat and the furnace, putting the new humidistat in between) then this unit will be able to use the furnace blower without firing the furnace. Tapping into the hot water supply (instead of cold) is recommended if you use this feature. My 700 is installed this way and works very well in this configuration.

No. Learn how to run a C wire. Not hard. I've done it twice. Just need to buy thermostat wire and feed it don the wall behind the thermostat and run it to your furnace. Search UTube.

Short answer is no. However find a 3 way switch on that circuit and you can get it to work.

The thermostat requires a two-wire cable to run 24 volts to the thermostat location. It cannot run on batteries like the other accessories, which require no wiring. I didn't find the wiring difficult. I just opened up the furnace and made sure that the G terminal on the furnace was connected to the G terminal on the wiring interface, etc. One tip - hook the thermostat to the wiring interface with a short length of two-wire cable while setting everything up to prevent running up and down the stairs a couple dozen times. Once everything is working, then turn the power off and install the thermostat at its permanent location. The thermostat requires a two-wire cable to run 24 volts to the thermostat location.

I used the Honneywell connectors, but I think any standard connector with two metal pins to close the low voltage circuit, thus turning the central vac unit on.

yes, if there is some kind of electrical component to the furnace for ignition and temp control.

per the installation manual, you have to have a wire from the furnace that supplies the power.

No, this thermostat requires constant power - you will need a 24V "common" wire connected to the thermostat's "C" terminal. You would either need to run additional wires from your furnace to this thermostat, or there is an adapter you may be able to install into your current setup, but I'm not sure if you can make it work with only two wires. Either way you will need to modify your current configuration to include the common wire. See Venstar ACC0410 Add-A-Wire for all 24VAC Thermostats

There are no wires coming from the heater, wires need to be run to the heater. I would sugest running the heater on a separate circuit.

No.....We run an electric motor (furnace fan set to run constantly) off the same outlet. The system only uses the outlet to power the bulb.

I would not do that unless you knew the location of the internal thermostat. Check with manufacturer or schematic.

Yes you can.this is a great box but a pain to close after connecting wires.should be AWG #6
