I am trying to add an external thermostat to my garage heater: https://www.ghpgroupinc.com/product-...EG5000DGP.html
This unit has a switch to bypass the built in thermostat and control with a wall thermostat. I purchased the matching 240v double pole line thermostat but the wiring diagram is confusing me. The unit works fine using the built in thermostat but it is 10' high and I can't reach it to adjust. I would like to understand how to wire the heater to the thermostat. I've installed these thermostats to wall heaters by running the lines to the thermostat and the loads to the heater and just leaving the built in thermostat dial all the way up. Since this unit is set up to bypass the built in thermostat, I'd like to wire it that way but the diagram is confusing to me. If someone can explain this to me, I would be very grateful. -Terry
