240 VOLT MODELS with Disconnect Breaker and Remote User Switch
It is ALWAYS recommended to order your unit with or without the thermostat for your particular application. If your unit has
been ordered incorrectly please contact the factory and we can exchange it for the proper unit. Adding a built-in thermostat
after installation is complicated and could result in creating wiring errors and shorting out the unit.
Instructions for wall mount heater with built-in thermostat
It is extremely important to verify the electrical power supply is the same voltage as the heater you are installing. 208, 240,
277 and 120 Volt heaters are not interchangeable. Powering a 208, 240 or 277 Volt unit with 120 Volt supply wires will
reduce the heater's output by approximately 75%. Powering a 120 Volt unit with 208, 240 or 277 Volt supply wires will destroy
the heater and voids all warranties.
NOTICE: For heaters without built-in thermostats, using remote or wall-mounted thermostats: the power must be brought to
the heater first (not to the wall-mounted or remote thermostat). This is necessary to provide power for the fan to cool down the
element after the thermostat has opened. Use only a single pole line voltage wall thermostat or switch to control this heater.
CAUTION: Open the circuit breaker supplying the heater before attempting installation, maintenance, or repairs. Lock
or tag circuit breaker panel door. Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock, burns, or possible death.
1. Remove heater contents from carton and check for shipping damage.
2. Remove grille by loosening the four mounting screws along the sides
of the front panel.
3. Detach interior assembly from the wall can by removing the four
screws along each side of the interior panel. Lift and tilt assembly
away from the top of the wall can. Free the bottom edge from the
metal lip inside the wall can. Place the interior assembly in a safe
location until the wall can is mounted.
4. Remove one knockout from the wall can and thread supply wires
through the hole. Use an approved cable connector to prevent wires
from chafing. Connect groundwire to green pigtail.
5. Mount heater wall can on wall studs a minimum of 6" from side wall
and 4" from floor, using the holes provided in the sides of the box.
The face of the box should be flush with the finished wall. Installation
of the interior and grille to the wallbox cover an approximate 5/8"
periphery along the outer area of the opening.
6. After wall can is secured interior assembly leads may be attached
to supply wires and interior secured to wall can. NOTE: The LPW
wall heater is equipped with two steel elements having a capacity of
2250 Watts each, for a combined capacity of 4500 Watts. The heater is factory wired at 4500 Watts. To adjust the heater for lower wattages remove the appropri
ate colored wire according to the illustration and wattage diagram provided on the
back side of this sheet. Be sure to insulate and secure the unused lead.
7. Reinstall interior assembly on wallbox using screws provided.
8. Mount grille to interior with screws provided.
9. Installation is now complete and the heater ready for use.
