T-Stat help...

[ph1gering]

Merry Christmas!!!

Got my new to me Sterling TTube heater 75,000 btu hung and getting close to firing the baby up for the first time. My issue is I bought a nice lil WIFI enabled T-stat that requires a Common for power, the Unit only has two connections on the back of the unit for the T-Stat Red/Black. (See last image)

So looking for advice on how to wire this up properly or if can just supply it C power from another transformer?

Any Advice would be great, don't want to fry anything.. thanks

Is it just as simple as tapping the yellow line coming off the transformer?

In addition to the above replies (good, too) don't forget the issue the manufacturer has with heat anticipators. Be sure your fancy thermostat has the ability to disable the feature (most do.)

Yeah I think you are right about the yellow wire.

That's what I would do.

I noticed that in the diagram right after I posted it, going to check that out over the weekend to see if it will work for me.
