STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION

NOTE: Please read all instructions before installing.

1. Rough in framing opening following the recommended dimensions located in Section A: Framing Dimensions.

2. Allow 8” (20.3 cm) of service cable for connecting power supply wire to junction box on replace when installing before nishing wall. Allow up to 4’ (121.9 cm) of service cable for connecting power supply wire to junction box on replace when installing after nishing wall. Remove the outer jacket and strip the individual conductors ½” (1.3 cm) from the end.

3. Loosen the screw securing the junction box cover and remove the cover.

4. Remove knockouts, if necessary, or use the provided cable clamp.

5. Place unit in position in the framed opening, level with shims if necessary and attach unit to frame using mounting anges provided (Figure 3).

6. Unit is factory wired for 208/240V power supply. If 120V operation is required, slide the switch and recongure the wiring (Section C). Wires L1, L2, N & G are attached to the rear of the junction box cable clamp for easy access.

NOTE: If wiring unit to operate with NO heat a dedicated circuit may not

be required.

7. Wire a dedicated, properly fused circuit with a 15amp rating for the appropriate voltage (120V, 208/240V). See Section C for factory setting wiring.

8. Make wall switch and or wall mounted thermostat connections as outlined in Section D.

9. Place all connectors inside the unit and secure the junction box cover to unit. Ensure that the cable clamp grips only the jacket of service cable, thermostat and if applicable wall switch lines.

FRAMING DIMENSIONS

Figure 1

Rough-In Framing Dimensions

This replace is a zero clearance design. No combustibles can be placed on the top surface of the replace. Combustibles may be installed to the edge of the unit. Four mounting anges on the sides of the unit are provided to facilitate installation. Insulation and vapor barrier should be placed a minimum of 2” (5.1 cm) from the unit.

CAUTION: Ensure installation does not allow replace to be in direct con-

tact with building vapor barrier or insulation and meets all local building code.

NOTE: The trim should be in-

stalled before securing the rebox in the opening.

There are two mounting anges located on each side of the replace insert.

From the inside of the unit, bend tabs

outward and mount to the inside of

the framing using suitable hardware.

SECTION B: GENERAL ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

RECOMMENDED POWER SUPPLY WIRE SPECIFICATIONS

• For 120V installations use two conductor, non-metallic sheath cable with ground wire (3 wires total) for the incoming power supply on replace inserts. Use the appropriate wire to meet local and national electrical codes for rated power consumption.

• For 208V / 240V installations use three conductor, non-metallic sheath cable with ground wire (4 wires total) for the incoming power supply on replace inserts. Use the appropriate wire to meet local and national electrical codes for rated power consumption.

Two conductor, non-metallic sheath cable with ground wire (3 wires total) is recommended for installation of a wall mounted thermostat and/or wall switch for use on replace inserts. Use appropriate wire to meet local and national electrical codes for rated power consumption. All wire gauges should match the recommended wire sizes shown below.

Voltage Wire Gauge Fuse Rating

120 Volts 12 Gauge 15 Amp

208 Volts 12 Gauge 15 Amp

240 Volts 12 Gauge 15 Amp

VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH LOCATION

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the incoming power supply voltage matches the

setting of the voltage selector switch.

NOTE: The voltage selector switch is located inside the exhaust panel on

the top right hand corner.

CAUTION: When changing the voltage selector switch from 240V to 120V

ensure that the power supply is turned off.

NOTE: Carefully insert a at headed screwdriver inside the exhaust panel

to change the switch from 240V (230 position) to 120V (115 position).

When wiring the unit for 208V / 240V the voltage selector switch should be in the 230V position.

When wiring the unit for 120V the voltage selector switch should be in the 115V position.
