The RLV3100 thermostat can be used to control an electric heating
system such as an electric baseboard heater, a radiant ceiling, a
radiant floor, a convector, etc.

The thermostat cannot be used with the following:

• a resistive load under 2 A

• a resistive load over 12.5 A

• systems driven by a contactor or a relay (inductive load)

• fan-forced heating systems

• central heating systems

o

• One (1) thermostat

• Two (2) 6-32 mounting screws

• Two (2) solderless connectors

p

TURN OFF POWER OF THE HEATING SYSTEM AT THE MAIN
POWER PANEL TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Loosen the screw
underneath the thermostat
and separate the front plate
from the base plate.

NOTE: The screw cannot be
completely removed.

Connect the thermostat wires to the power and to the load using
solderless connectors for copper wires. The thermostat wires are not
polarized; meaning either wire can be connected to the load or to the
power supply.
