From my 709-PH installation manual:
Wire Color...............Function
Red 18 gauge..........+12V power input to monitor
Black 18 gauge........Ground
Blue 18 gauge..........Tank senders
Yellow 18 gauge.......Pump power output
White 18 gauge........Heater power output
Orange 18 gauge......Heater pilot out input
Green 18 gauge........LPG tank
Because the pump switch is only rated for slightly more current than my pump draws, I chose to add a small relay controlled by the switch, with the relay contacts controlling the original pump power source to the pump. That keeps the pump on its original separate fuse. The water heater control power connects to the white wire per the chart, and the heater ignition indicator connects to the orange wire.
The small cube relay I used for the pump is a low cost fog light relay available at most auto parts stores. The 30 amp rating is overkill, but the price is right.
