n Description
The RLV430 thermostat can be used to control an electric heating system such as a baseboard heater, a radiant floor, a radiant ceiling, a convector or a fan-forced heater.
The thermostat cannot be used with the following:
•a resistive load under 2 A
•a resistive load over 14.6 A
•systems driven by a contactor or a relay (inductive load)
•central heating systems
SUPPLIED PARTS
•One (1) thermostat
•Two (2) 6-32 mounting screws
•Two (2) solderless connectors
o Installation
TURN OFF POWER TO THE HEATING SYSTEM AT THE MAIN POWER PANEL TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
All cables and connections must comply with local electrical codes.
This thermostat has tinned copper wires for line and load connections. Special CO/ALR solderless connectors must be used if these wires will be connected to aluminium conductors.
Install the thermostat onto an electrical box.
Install the thermostat about 5 feet high, on an inside wall facing the heater.
Avoid locations where there are air drafts (such as the top of a staircase or an air outlet), dead air spots (such as behind a door), or direct sunlight.
Do not install the thermostat on a wall that conceals chimney or stove pipes.
The thermostat wires are not polarized; either wire can be connected to the load or to the power supply.
1) Connect the thermostat
Connect the thermostat wires to the power and to the load using solderless connectors for copper wires.

3) Complete the installation
NOTE: If there is a protective film or sticker on the thermostat’s screen, peel it off.
Apply power to the heating system. Verify the installation by checking that the heater can be turned On and Off by raising and lowering the setpoint using the Up and Down buttons.
