INSTALLATION STEPS
Connect heater only b the voltage, amperage and frequency specified on the nameplate. Wiring procedures and connections shall be in accordance with all National and local codes having jurisdiction.

1. Loosen mounting screw and remove fan heater assembly.

2. A knockout of 1 /2 inch conduit size (7/8 inch / 2.2cm) is pro-vided in the back &side of heater for power to enter. Provide proper strain relief connectors for wire entering the wallbox.
   

3. Install wallbox a minimum of 6″ from vertical sidewalls and 4″ above floor. The front edge of wall can MUST extend 112″ beyond finished wall surface.

4. Secure wallbox to the 2 x 4 stud using the two (2) holes on the side of wallbox. Secure to wall stud on opposite side if required using New Construction Bracket. See Fig.5

5. Connect supply wires, attach ground feed wire to the green ground wire with wire nuts.

6. Reinstall heater into wallbox with screw at top of interior.

7. Install grill securely with screws provided in packet.

8. Test unit by turning thermostat up past room temperature. You will see a puff of smoke as the elements are energized and the fan turns on. This is a normal burn off of manufactur-ing lubricants and will dissipate in 5 minutes.

9. Heater will run until the room temperature you set is reached and then turn itself off until the temperature drops again.

CAUTION – High temperature. Risk of fire, keep electrical cords, drapery, furnishings, and other combustibles at least 3 feet (0.9 in) from the front of the heater as well as away from the side and rear. To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the heater.

SMART LIMIT PROTECTION & WARRANTY

Heater Safety Limit Tripped?

This heater is equipped with a thermal overload Smart Limit Protection which disconnects elements and motor in the event normal operating temperatures are exceeded. If thermal over-load trips due to abnormal operating temperatures, thermal overload shall remain open until manually reset by turning the heater OFF for fifteen minutes. Inspect for any objects on or adjacent to the heater that may cause high temperatures. After inspecting the heater, keep the power to the heater off for 15 minutes to reset the SLP thermal protector. If the SLP thermal protector shuts the heater off again, immediately turn the heater OFF at the circuit breaker and inspect the heater for possible fan motor failure or dirt and lint on the heating element. Repeat the starting procedure.
DO NOT TAMPER OR REMOVE THIS THIS DEVICE

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

2.Overloaded Circuit
3.Improper Voltage| 1.Find source of short. Trace heater circuit and verify the heater is connected properly.
2.Reduce wattage in circuit. Refer to Table 2 for maximum amperage.
3.Verify the heater voltage matches the supply voltage.
Heater not working| 1.No Power
2.Loose Connections
3.Defective Limit| 1.Turn Breaker ON, turn thermostat ON, check that the breaker is position properly on panel bus-bar. A dedicated 2-Pole breaker must be connected to both bus-bars (A & B phase) to produce 240V power.
2.Remove & retighten wire connections.
Heater Smokes| 1.Oil on element
2.Needs Cleaning| 1.Its normal for element to burn off some light finishing oil used in the manufacturing process when first energized. Open windows and allow room to vent until it stops, usually within a few minutes.
2.Remove any dust or dirt accumulations.
Room Temp doesn’t match stat setting.| 1.Stat affected by other heat source.
2.Improper calibration| 1.Sunlight or other heat sources can affect the thermostat. Move the thermostat to another location (No Stat Unit Only) or remove the heat source.
2.Adjust calibration screw. Call factory.
Room Temperature swings from too hot to too cold.| 1. Defective or low quality thermostat| 1. Replace with a better quality thermostat. Anticipated thermostats are fairly accurate; and electronic thermostat are best.

REMOTE WALL THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION

1. Red thermostat wire to black power supply wire.
2. Black thermostat wire to black heater wire.
3. White power supply wire to white heater wire.
