LPW2045C 208 Volt and LPW2445C 240 Volt MODELS

Power must be brought to the heater first - then to wall thermostat

Instructions for ceiling mount unit with remote wall thermostat

It is extremely important to verify that 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 / 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 / 277 Volt supply wires will destroy the heater and voids all warranties.
NOTICE: 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 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.

2. Remove grille by loosening the four mounting screws along the sides of the front panel.

3. Detach interior assembly from the ceiling case by removing the four screws along each side of the interior panel. Lift and tilt assembly away from the
top of the ceiling case. Free the bottom edge from the metal lip inside the ceiling case. Place the interior assembly in a safe location until the ceiling
case is mounted.

4. Mount heater enclosure can on ceiling joists a minimum of 6" from side wall, using the holes provided in the sides of the case. The face of the case
should be flush with the finished ceiling surface. Installation of the interior and grille to the ceiling case will cover an approximate 1/2" periphery along
the outer area of the opening.

5. Mount heater wall installation case on wall studs a minimum of 6" from side wall or open edge of a door and a minimum of 4" from floor (10" recom­ mended), using the holes provided in the sides of the case. The face of the case should be flush with the finished wall. Installation of the interior and
grille to the ceiling case covers an approximate 5/8" periphery along the outer area of the opening.

6. After ceiling case is secured, interior assembly leads may be attached to
supply wires and interior secured to ceiling case. NOTE: The LPW 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 appropriate
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 ceiling case using screws provided.

8. Mount grille to interior with screws provided.

9. Installation is now complete and the heater ready for use.

10. Use a single pole line voltage wall thermostat or switch only to control this heater.
