1 Install the Equipment Interface Module (EIM)

Determine the location

The equipment interface module (EIM) consists of a relay and an antenna. They can be
installed either in the wiring compartment of the baseboard heater or in a 4-11/16” square
junction box.

Install EIMs at a minimum distance of 2 feet (0.6 m) of each other. This minimum
distance still applies even if the EIMs are on opposite sides of a wall.

• Installing the EIM in a baseboard heater

You can install the EIM in the wiring
compartment of the baseboard heater if you
have any of the heaters listed in the following
table:

Manufacturer / brand Series

Cadet F
Global Commander CCB
King Electrical K, CB, KP, M
Marley 2500, BKOC, QMKC
Ouellet ODBA, ODI, ODIA, OFM, OPR
Stelpro CBB, N, SCA, SCAS
TPI 2900C, 2900S, 3700, 3900

The product has been tested for compatibility with the heaters listed above. If your heater is
not on the list, install the EIM on a 4-11/16" square junction box or replace your heater with
one listed.

• Installing the EIM in a 4-11/16" square
junction box

You can use a 4-11/16" square junction box in either
of the following conditions:

• You have a convector or fan-forced heater.

• You cannot install or do not wish to install the

EIM in the wiring compartment of the baseboard
heater.

The junction box can be installed anywhere in the house;
for example, near the main electrical panel.
