SETUP OF REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
A wireless temperature sensor is provided to monitor the ambient temperature from any remote location. It needs to be paired with the heater and will transmit real-time temperature to the heater for highly accurate room temperature control.
Sensor Placement
Important: Avoid areas that can have temperature extremes, making the sensor think the room is cooler or warmer than it actually is. Don’t install the sensor near doors that could let in drafts, or on exterior walls or near windows in direct sunlight.
ECO2S REMOTE SENSOR:
IMPORTANT: The remote sensor must be paired to the heater prior to use. If display shows “L5” the sensor has not been paired successfully. Repeat Pairing Process
Technical Specifications:
- Protocol: Wireless 2.4G
- Transmit Distance: 98
- Working Voltage: DC 3V (battery);
- Detecting Temperature: 0° to 99°F

Pairing and lestallation Guide
She had the has a unique ID number, which will be used in the paining process. When installing the remote sensor first time, users need to pair the remote sensor with LPW heater, so the heater can learn and save the remote sensor’s ID.
Step 1: First, power off the remote sense remove the battery or unplog the adapter).
Step 2: On the Heater’s Dieglay Press STOP button at the same time for 5 seconds. The LED display will flash id
Step 3: Release tuitfors remote sensor within 3 feet of the hester and power on the remote sensor again. The green LED light in the remote sens will flash, and LFW the the controller display indicator lights will illuminate AED tubes show 88) for 1 second and then tum aff. This means the remote sensor and the controller have paired with each other successfully.
NOTE: If the LPW display flashes “id for 20 seconds and then turns off, it means that the heater failed to pair with the remote sensor and has exited the Pair mode. Repeat the above steps to pair the remote sensor
Step 4: in the room where you want to defect temperature. The LPW heater display will now
Installing Batteries
Open the battery cover and insert 2pcs AAA batteries, reinstall the battery
cover.
Low Battery Indicator
When batteries are low, “BA” will flash on the ECO2S+ heater display to indicate batteries should be replaced. Note: If batteries fail, the ECO2S+ is designed to revert back to the onboard temperature sensor for temperature control until the batteries are replaced in the remote sensor.
Mounting The Remote Sensor
Sensor can be placed on any flat surface or can be fixed to the wall with the mounting bracket. Mounting Bracket Install: Select location for the sensor on the wall,. Secure the bracket to with 2 appropriate anchors and screws. Insert remote sensor into bracket.
Low Signal Indicator
When the sensor is not paired with the heater or if the signal is being
blocked. the display flashes “LS”. After 10 minutes, the controller will
automatically switch to work with the on-board temperature sensor, but the
display will continue to flash “LS” until the signal restored.
- Following Pairing process above to successfully pair the sensor.
- Move Sensor closer to the heater or away from metal objects that might block the signal.
WIRING AND INSTALLATION
- Connect heater only to 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.
- Set the bag containing the grill and packet with (2) grill screws aside.
- Loosen grill screws and as you slowly remove grill disconnect the quick connectors on the LCD patch cable so grill can be com- pleted removed from heater.
- Loosen interior fan heater assembly mounting screws (4) and remove fan heater assembly.
- A knockout of 1/2 inch conduit size (7/8 inch) is provided in the back and side of the heater for power to enter. Provide proper strain relief connectors (not included) for your wire entering the wall box.
- Install wall box a minimum of 6 inches from vertical side walls and 4 inches above floor.
- Secure wall box to the 2 x 4 studs using the (2) holes on the side of the wall box. Secure to wall stud on opposite side if required.
- Make final High and Low wattage selections. See page 3 for details.
- Connect supply wires, attach ground feed wire to the green ground wire with wire nuts.

If the SLP thermal protector shuts the heater off again, immediately turn the heter OFF at the circuit breaker and inspect the heater for possible tan motor failure or dirt and lint on the heating element. Repeat the starting procedure. DO NOT TAMPER OR REMOVE THIS THIS DEVICE.
GUIDELINES & MAINTENANCE
General information and guidelines:
This heater must be properly installed before it is used. DO NOT tamper with or change the operating of this heater.
- This heater must be properly installed in accordance with the National Electrical Codes (NEC) & local electrical codes before it is used.
- After the electric heater has been completely installed, all thermostats should be turned to OFF. Turn ON breakers, wait 3 to 5 minutes. Check to see that all heaters are operating. Should any not be operating, disconnect power and check wiring.
- Allow entire system to operate steadily for 1/2 hour. This should remove oily residue from manufacturing. (Some smoking may occur).
Maintenance & Cleaning Basic maintenance is listed below and should be performed annually. When necessary, any required servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel. Your heater will give you years of service and comfort with only minimum care. To assure efficient operation follow the simple instructions below.
WARNING: Turn the electrical power OFF at the electrical panel board (circuit breaker or fuse box) and lock or tag this panel board door to prevent someone from turning on power while you are working on this heater, Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock, burns, or possible death.
- Before removing grill, turn the electrical power OFF and elements to cool. Circuit breakers are often not marked correctly and turning the wrong breaker off could mean electricity is flowing to the heater, even if the heater does not appear to be working. If you are un- comfortable working with electrical appliances, unable to follow these guidelines, or do not have the necessary equipment, consult a qualified electrician. Once you verify the power is off completely and element is cool, proceed to the next step.
- Remove screws and take off grill. Wash grille with hot soapy water and dry immediately
- Using a hair dryer or vacuum on blow cycle, blow debris back through the element. Do not touch element. Vacuum or use a soft brush and remove lose debris without touching the elements. The fan motor does not require lubrication.
- Re-attach grill and secure with screws.
- Turn thermostat to desired setting
WARNING All other servicing should be performed by authorized service personnel.
TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM | PROBLEM | SOLUTION |
---|---|---|
Breaker Trips |
- Short Circuit
- Overloaded Circuit
- Improper Voltage
|
