General Information

General Operation
Steffes ETS room heating units utilize off-peak electricity available during those times of the day or
night when the power company can supply you with electricity more economically. By using this offpeak electricity for heating, the power company may offer you a special incentive such as a reduced
electric rate, an off-peak heating rate, a time-of-use (TOU) rate, or monthly credits on your heating bill.
When off-peak hours are available, the room heating unit converts electricity to heat which is then
stored in its ceramic brick core. The ceramic brick core of the heater can store heat at varying levels
depending upon outdoor temperature, owner preference, utility peak conditions, and the requirements of
the space being heated. This stored heat becomes available for space heating needs as determined by
the room temperature sensor located in the heater. (An optional remote room temperature sensor is also
available. Order item #1302024.)
Heating is accomplished radiantly and by a thermostatically controlled blower. A small amount of heat
will be radiated by the heater's cabinet. However, most of the heating requirements in the area where
the heater is installed will be satisfied by the heater's blower. When the room thermostat senses a need
for heat, the heater's blower will circulate room air through the heater's ceramic brick core. This air is
heated and discharged back into the room to maintain a constant, comfortable room temperature.

Limit Switchesmonitor the temperature of the outside back panel and the
heater's brick core. If the normal operating temperature is
exceeded, this switch will interrupt power to the heating elements
and prevent heat from being stored in the brick core. The red
"SERVICE" light will illuminate to indicate this switch has shut
the power off to the heating elements. (This switch will automatically reset when the temperature returns to a normal range.)
Red "SERVICE" LightIlluminates when the core charging high limit switch has
interrupted power to the heating elements. The heater will not
store heat in the brick core when this light is illuminated.
Illumination of the light may indicate there is not enough
clearance between the heater and some object; or, possibly, there
is an operational difficulty within the heater. If the clearance
requirements have been maintained and the light illuminates
repeatedly, notify a service technician. (Since this light works in
conjunction with the core charging high limit switch, it will
automatically turn off when this switch resets.)

As with most heating systems, air borne particles in the room may be drawn into the heating system and oxidized. As
these air borne particles are expelled back into the room, they may accumulate on the heater or other surfaces. Over
time, these particles may appear as a black residue, commonly referred to as soot. High concentrations of air borne
particles from such things as aerosols, dust, candles, incense, pet hair, high humidity, smoke, or cooking can contribute to poor indoor air quality and accelerate this process.
To minimize the black residue buildup, clean the outer surface of the heater on a regular basis. Wash the cabinet only
when cool with any liquid cleaner. Do not use scouring powders or furniture polish. Steffes recommends using "Soft
Scrub with Bleach" brand cleanser or its equal.
Regularly vacuum around all sides of the heater. Check the back of the heater to make sure no objects have fallen
behind it. Check all sides of the heater to be sure the required clearances are not being violated. Objects should never
be placed on top of the heater. No additional routine maintenance is required.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Describing The Heater's Display Panel
All operational functions of the heater are stored in the heater's microprocessor. These operational functions are
factory preset; however, they can be adjusted by the user or installer. All operational functions are accessed
through the heater's control panel. Typically, the user will only need to use this panel to adjust the room temperature; and, possibly, to set the brick core temperature if manual charge control is used.
TEMPERATURE and MODE Digits
Typically, these digits continuously display current room temperature and
one of the following brick core operating modes (Refer to the Advanced
Heater Operation section of this manual for more information):
C = (charge period) Off-peak time in which the heater is allowed
to store heat in its brick core. (See Figure 2)
P = (peak period) On-peak time in which the heater is not
allowed to store heat in its brick core. (See Figure 3)
A = (anticipated peak period) Used only in certain utility pro-
grams. It is an alternative method of storing heat in the
heater's brick core. (See Figure 4)

ROOM SETTING
A green bar will illuminate next to ROOM SETTING on the MODE
digit when the room temperature set point is being adjusted. (See
Figure 5.) The set point can range from 45oF (7.2oC) through 85oF
(29.4oC).
SERVICE LIGHT
This is one of the many built-in safety devices on the heater. This
red light will illuminate whenever the core charging high limit switch
has interrupted power to the heating elements. This interruption may
be the result of not enough clearance between the heater and some
object; or, possibly, there is an operational difficulty within the
heater. If this light is illuminated, the heater will not store heat in
the brick core. It will automatically reset (turn off) when the core
charging high limit switch restores power to the elements. (Refer to
Table 1, Built-in Heater Safety Devices, for more information on the
light and the core charging high limit switch.)
If the light illuminates REPEATEDLY, notify a service
technician.
STORAGE SETTING
This is only applicable when using manual charge control. A green
bar will illuminate next to STORAGE SETTING (on the MODE
digit) which indicates the storage level set point can be adjusted.

HEATER START-UP
1
On start-up of the heater, you may experience some odors relating to the first time operation of the heating
components. There also may be an odor associated with dust accumulation in the system if the heater is shut
down for an extended period of time. Allowing the heater to charge to its highest heat storage level (full core
charge) will help expel these odors in a timely manner.
Since room air passes directly through the hot brick core of the heater, air borne particles and odors may be
drawn into the heating system and oxidized. During the oxidation process, odors can be amplified; thus, it is
recommended not to operate the heating system if odors such as that from paints, varnishes, or chemicals are
present in the air. Allow the area to be completely aired out before operating the heater.
ADJUSTING THE ROOM TEMPERATURE SET POINT
2
Room temperature set point is adjusted differently if using manual charge control versus automatic charge
control. Thus, when making adjustments to the room temperature set point or the brick core charge level, you
must determine whether your heating system is set for automatic or manual charge control.
Automatic charge control - The right indicator light on the control panel will be illuminated. With automatic
Operating the Heater
charge control, a sensor regulates the amount of heat stored in the heater's brick
core automatically in relation to outdoor temperature.
Manual charge control - The right indicator light will not be illuminated. With manual charge control, the
user regulates the amount of heat stored in the heater's brick core in relation to
outdoor temperature.
How to Adjust Room Temperature Set Point if Using Automatic Charge Control
Step 1Press the arrow button to increase the set point or the arrow button to decrease the set point.
The face plate will automatically return to displaying current room temperature a few seconds after
making an adjustment.
How to Adjust Room Temperature Set Point if Using Manual Charge Control
Step 1Press and hold the M button until a green bar appears on the MODE digit of the control panel face
plate to indicate room setting can be adjusted. The room temperature set point will appear on the
TEMPERATURE digits of the face plate.
Step 2Press the arrow button or the arrow button to adjust the room temperature set point. The face
plate will automatically return to displaying current room temperature after making an adjustment.
ADJUSTING THE BRICK CORE CHARGE LEVEL
3
The room heating unit's brick core charge level can be regulated either manually or automatically. The method of
control will be set at the time of installation. If the right indicator light is illuminated on the face plate, the
heater is set for automatic charge control. If it is not illuminated, the heater is set for manual charge control. The
room heating unit will come factory preset for automatic charge control.
Automatic Charge Control
If the room heating unit is set for automatic charge control, the brick core charge level will be regulated automatically in relation to outdoor temperature. An outdoor sensor is required for this method of charge control.
Page 10
Operating the Heater (cont'd)
The outdoor sensor will monitor outdoor temperature and provide the information to the heater. The heater will
respond by storing heat in the brick core accordingly. The outdoor temperature at which brick core charging in
the heater is to begin and the outdoor temperature the heater should be at full brick core charge may be adjusted
at the time of installation. The heater comes factory preset to start charging at 60oF (15.6oC) and to be at full
brick core charge at 20oF (-6.67oC).
Manual Charge Control
If manual charge control is being used, the owner must periodically adjust the brick core charge level setting
during the heating season in relation to outdoor temperature and the heating requirements of the area. To adjust
the brick core charge level, do the following:
Step 1Press and hold the M button until a green bar appears on the MODE digit of the control panel face
plate next to room setting. Release the button.
Step 2Press the M button again. The green bar on the MODE digit of the control panel face plate will
move to indicate storage setting can be adjusted. Core charge level set point is displayed on the
TEMPERATURE digits.
Step 3Press the or arrow buttons to adjust the core charge level set point. The core charge level can
be set to any data value from 00 through 10.
9
00 = no core charging will occur
05 = 50% core charge will be maintained
10 = maximum core charge will be maintained
The face plate will automatically return to displaying current room temperature a few seconds after
making an adjustement.
HOW TO TURN THE HEATER "OFF" AND "ON"
4
You may wish to turn the heater off during the summer months. Brick core charging and room temperature
sensing can be turned off without disconnecting power to the heater.
Using Automatic Charge Control
Step 1To turn the heater "OFF", use the arrow button to decrease the room temperature set point until
the control panel face plate displays "OFF".
Step 2To turn the heater back "ON", press the arrow button to adjust room temperature to the desired set
point.
Using Manual Charge Control
Step 1To turn the heater "OFF", hold the M button until room temperature set point appears on the TEM-
PERATURE digits of the face plate.
Step 2Use the arrow button to decrease the room temperature set point until the control panel face plate
displays "OFF".
Step 3To turn the heater back "ON", press and hold the M and the arrow buttons at the same time.
When room temperature set point displays on the face plate, let go of the M button. Use the
arrow button to adjust room temperature to the desired set point.

CAUTION
NOTE
PLACEMENT
1
Room heating units can normally be placed on standard flooring systems with any type of covering, i.e.
wood floor, carpet, linoleum; but, heater weight must be considered. If in doubt, consult a building contractor or an architect. (Refer to the Heater Specifications section in this manual for weight and physical dimensions of the room heating unit being installed.)
When installing on extremely thick carpet, it may be necessary to slightly elevate the heater to avoid carpet
contact with the air discharge grill. The carpet should not come within ¾ inch of the air discharge grill
openings.
Heaters can be placed on an outside or inside wall. Best operating efficiency will be achieved by placing it
along an inside wall, adjacent to an outside wall. Avoid installing the heater near sources of extreme heat or
cold so the built-in room temperature sensor can sample proper room air temperature. It is also best to not
place the heater near an open stairwell.
CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
2
Allow a minimum of 1½ inches of clearance from the sides and back of the heater and a minimum of 3
inches from the top of the heater. The factory supplied wall mounting bracket, located on the heating unit's
shipping pallet, will provide the correct wall-to-back-of-heater clearance. If the heater is a 120V plug-in
model with a security base, the base will provide the proper wall-to-back-of-heater clearance. The base is
packaged inside the shipping box on the back side of the heater.
Installing The Heater
If enclosing the room heating unit in a wooden cabinet or recessing the room heating unit into a wall, allow 2
inches clearance on sides and 4 inches on top. Do not enclose or otherwise obstruct access to the heater's
front panel and grill. Objects such as curtains, furniture, or bed covers must be kept a minimum of 4 inches
from all room heating unit surfaces and 15 inches from the grill.
If there is less than a 12 inch clearance on the right side of the room heating unit, we recommend installing a remote wall mounted room temperature sensor. (Order item #1302024.)
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
3
Line voltage connections for direct wired room heating units
Heaters that are designed for direct wired connections are equipped with flexible conduit installed in the
room heating unit’s back panel. This conduit is pre-wired for ease of field connections. The wiring in the
conduit may not be the same size as the field wiring conductors.
Direct wired heaters are capable of being connected to more than one branch circuit. One or two charging
circuits may be utilized depending on room heating unit size (See Table 2). Each room heating unit is
capable of being connected with a separate blower and element circuit or with one circuit for blower and
element operation. To determine the correct wire sizes for the room heating unit being installed, refer to the
Unit Identification Label on the lower left side panel. (See Figure 11. Table 1 and Table 2 will also provide
information on conductor sizing.)
Never install Class II (low voltage) wiring or any wiring in a line voltage area unless the wire
is rated for line voltage.
Page 12
Installing The Heater (cont'd)
Once the proper circuits are wired to the room heating unit, install a field connection junction box. This
junction box must be large enough to conform to all applicable electrical codes and regulations. The junction
box can be installed behind the heater or mounted in the floor below the heater. If a location below the floor
is chosen, the box must remain accessible for future service to the room heating unit. If a location behind
the heater is chosen, the box should remain as near the floor as practical.
A panel label is provided in the hardware package to identify the branch circuits feeding the room heating
unit.
11
IMPORTANT: This label must be applied in the electrical panel and circuits must be identified.
Line voltage connections for cord connected, plug-in room heating units
120V cord connected room heating units must only be
used with receptacles that are of the grounding
type and suitable for the load of the heater. See the
Unit Identification Label on the lower left side panel of
the heater to determine correct circuit size. (See Figure
7 for cord and receptacle requirements.)
The room heater's cord has a plug as shown in
Figure 7A. An adapter, as shown in Figure 7B, is
available for connecting three-blade grounding type
plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding
means extending from the adapator
must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a proprerly grounded outlet box as shown in Figure 7C. This
adaptor should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
Heating element (brick core charging) control wiring connections for all room heating units
The heating elements in the heater are capable of being controlled on-peak (not able to store heat in the brick
core) via low voltage wiring, line voltage wiring, with a wireless power line carrier signal, or with a time clock.
The power line carrier transmitter and time clock are optional control devices. If either of these methods of
control are desired, they must be specified at the time of order to be included with the heater shipment.
grounding
FIGURE 7
adapter
grounding

box
If using low voltage control, all connections to the room heating unit’s control circuit must be routed through the
low voltage raceway using the factory installed wiring. Class II (low voltage) wiring should never enter a line
voltage area of the heater, including its umbilical cord, unless it is rated for line voltage. (See Figures 13 and 14.)
If a power line carrier transmitter is being used for peak control of the room heating unit, low voltage connections
are not necessary. The transmitter can be mounted indoor or outdoor. It will transmit the peak control signal
through the entire power line system in the building. In addition to providing peak control information, it will
also transmit outdoor temperature information for automatic brick core charging. Installation instructions for this
method of control are provided with the Steffes power line carrier control system.
If using a time clock for peak control of the heater, the time clock is connected to the heater via low voltage
wiring. An installation instruction sheet is included with the time clock. Please refer to these instructions for
installation of this device inside the heater.
If line voltage control is utilized, an external switching device (such as a relay panel) is necessary to directly
control the heating element charging circuit. If relying on this method of control, the face plate on the heater will
continuously display a brick core operating mode of “C” (charge) regardless of whether it is an off-peak or on-
peak time. It is suggested that the installer change the heater so that current room temperature followed by an
“F” (Fahrenheit) or “C” (Celsius) is displayed. This is done by adjusting the data in Location 14 (L14) to d01,
or a peak control sequencer can be installed to correct the brick core operating mode display. (Order item
#1309006.)

ATTACHING THE WALL MOUNT BRACKET OR SECURITY BASE
Installing The Heater (cont'd)
For cross reference to number coded components, Refer to the Exploded View Diagram
(Figure 18) and the Heater Parts List.
The room heating unit is attached in one of two ways: wall support bracket (54) or security base (51 and 52).
Follow steps 1 and 2 regardless of the method of attachment.
Step 1Remove the screws at the lower edge of the painted front panel (18). A plastic grill guard is provided
to protect the grill from being scratched while removing the screws.
Step 2Pull the lower edge of the front panel forward and unhook it from the top panel (19). Carefully set
the front panel aside.
If installing a unit with a wall bracket, do step 3. If the room heating unit being installed is
equipped with a security base, proceed to step 4.

be used to securely attach the wall bracket.
Step 4(Do this step only if installing a heater with a security base.) 120V plug-in cord models may come
equipped with a security base (51 and 52) rather than a wall support bracket (54). This base must
be attached to the bottom panel of the room heating unit. It is packaged inside the shipping box on
the back side of the heater. The hardware needed to mount the base to the heater is in a package
located in the lower right side of the heater (near the blower).
To install the base, gently lay the room heating unit on its back. You may find it helpful to elevate
the bottom of the room heating unit a few inches to make the installation of the base easier.
Align the holes in the security base with the pre-drilled holes in the bottom of the room heating unit.
Using the six #14 x 1¼ inch sheet metal screws provided in the hardware package, attach the security
base to the painted bottom panel (9) of the room heating unit.
After the base is attached, return the unit to its upright position and place into room location in
preparation for brick loading.

Step 3Remove the screws on the right side of the galvanized front panel (14).
Rotate this panel to the left and remove.
Step 4If installing a Model 2004, 2005, or 2006, remove and discard the
cardboard spacer(s) that secured the heating elements (12) during
shipment.
Step 5Begin the brick loading with row one by installing the first brick (13)
face-up in the far left side (as you face the heater) of the room heater's
storage cavity. (See Figure 9 for a side view of brick stacking.) Be sure
the grooved side of the brick is up, and that it fits tight against the right
aluminized steel air channel (47).
Install bricks carefully to avoid damage to the bottom insulation
panel (49) and to the back insulation panel (23) inside the brick
cavity.
Step 6Continue the brick loading process installing the remaining brick in row
one from right to left. Load remaining rows, one row at a time, beginning with left brick, then loading from the right to left. All bricks in rows one through seven must be
loaded with the grooved side up.
Avoid loading bricks in a fashion that would cause an uneven horizontal line across the brick
core. Bricks should line up side-to-side.

Step 7Install the eighth (top) row of bricks with the grooved side of the bricks facing down. (See Figure 9.)
A 3" x 11" metal brick installation tool is enclosed in the Owner's Manual packet to assist with
loading the top row of brick. Be careful if using this tool as the edges are sharp. To use, be sure to
bend one end down to avoid contact with the sharp edge. Lay the metal tool over the far right brick in
row 7 with the bent end out. Slide a brick over the metal piece and into position. Pull the metal piece
out. Continue this procedure until the entire top row of bricks are installed.
IMPORTANT: The top bricks (row 8) must face downward.
Step 8Once all bricks are loaded, replace the galvanized front panel (14).
SETTING THE METHOD OF BRICK CORE CHARGE CONTROL
6
With automatic charge control, outdoor temperature information can be supplied to the room heating unit in one
of two ways: Steffes power line carrier system or direct wired outdoor sensor.
The room heating unit is shipped from the factory set for automatic charge control for use with the Steffes power
line carrier control system. The heater comes preset to start charging at an outdoor temperature of 60oF (15.6oC)
and to be at a full core charge level at 20oF (-6.7oC). (The installing electrical contractor or power company
personnel will have more information on how to adjust these temperatures to more accurately reflect the climate
in your area, if necessary.)

NOTE
NOTE
Power Line Carrier and Automatic Charge Control
The Steffes power line carrier (PLC) control system has the capability of sending outdoor temperature information, WIRELESS, to an unlimited number of 2000 series heater for automatic charge control. No direct wiring to
the heater is required with a PLC control system. The outdoor temperature information is transmitted through the
entire power line system in the home or building. The heater's built-in receiver will pick up the signals being
transmitted on the power line and respond accordingly. PLC control is available with the use of the Steffes PLC
Transmitter or the Steffes Comfort Control Relay Panel (CCRP). Only one PLC system is needed in an installation. If using the PLC Transmitter and installing it outdoors, an outdoor sensor may be utilized but is not required. If installing the PLC Transmitter indoors or if using the CCRP's built-in PLC system, one external
outdoor temperature sensor is required for automatic charge control. An installation procedure manual will
accompany the PLC Transmitter and CCRP. Please refer to these instructions for installation of either device.
Direct Wired Outdoor Sensor and Automatic Charge Control
An outdoor sensor can be direct wired into each room heating unit using low voltage wire. One outdoor sensor is
required for each room heating unit that is installed. An installation instruction sheet is included with the outdoor
sensor. Please refer to these instructions for installation of this device. (Order item #1302026.)
Installing The Heater (cont'd)
If using a PLC signal for transmitting outdoor temperature information, Dip Switch #6 inside the
heater on its microprocessor board must be in the "OFF" position. (Refer to the Typical Control Wiring Diagrams section for more information on the heater's dip switches.)
If using a direct wired outdoor sensor for transmitting outdoor temperature information, Dip
Switch #6 inside the heater on its microprocessor board must be in the "ON" position. (Refer to
the Typical Control Wiring Diagrams section in this manual for more information on the heater's
dip switches.)
Manual Charge Control
No additional devices are required for brick core charging if the charge level is to be set manually by the user.
Since the heater comes factory preset for automatic charge control, Location 19 (L19) must be adjusted to
manual control. Location 7 (L07) should also be adjusted so that both room and brick core temperature can be
adjusted after the M button is pressed for a few seconds. (The installing electrical contractor or power company
personnel will have more information on how to make these adjustments.)
REMOTE ROOM SENSOR (OPTIONAL)
7
All 2000 series room heating units come factory equipped with a built-in room temperature sensor. This sensor is
installed in the electrical compartment on the right side panel of the heater, near the floor. In installations where
it is desired to monitor temperature at another point in the room, a remote room temperature sensor may be used.
If a remote sensor is installed, the built-in sensor is disconnected. The remote sensor will provide the room
temperature information to the heater. With either option, current room temperature is dislayed on the heater's
face plate. An installation instruction sheet is included with the remote room sensor. Please refer to these
instructions for installation of this device. (Order item #1302024.)

OPERATION FUNCTIONS
The heater is shipped from the factory preset with standard operating functions. The owner should not have to
make adjustments; however, if it is necessary to do so, the Advanced Heater Operation section of this manual
explains those functions that are owner accessible and how to change them. The heater also contains functions
related to power company control that are explained in a Supplemental Installer's Guide. This guide is only
available to power company officials and factory certified installers.

NOTE
NOTE
INSTALLER'S FINAL CHECKOUT PROCEDURE
9
For cross reference to number coded components, refer to the Exploded View Diagram (Figure 18) and
Heater Parts List in the Owner’s Manual.
____ 1.De-energize the electrical circuit(s) feeding the heater. Place the control circuit board (2) in the service
position by sliding it off its mounting screws and hooking it on these same screws using the eyelets provided
on the front of the mounting plate (1). Inspect all field installed electrical connections to ensure they are tight
and that all wires are routed correctly. Keep in mind that ETS devices run for long periods of time at high
electrical loads. Poor or marginal electrical connections will cause the connection to overheat and fail.
Class II (low voltage) wiring or any wiring not rated for line voltage should never be installed
in a line voltage area.
____ 2. Check the damper system to ensure the damper operates freely and that there is no debris in this area which
could inhibit its operation. To do so, manually press the damper lever extending from the damper assembly
(34). Be careful not to bend the damper actuator (40). If the damper is not free, remove the blower and
clean any debris from that area.
____ 3. Check the settings of the dip switches on the back of the control circuit board (2). In applications where the
heater is being controlled by the power line carrier transmitter, typically all dip switches will be set in the
“OFF” position. If using a hard wired outdoor temperature sensor for automatic charge control, set dip
switch 6 on the back of the circuit board (2) to the “ON” position. With manual charge control, dip switch 6
must be set to the “OFF” position. (The Supplemental Installer’s Guide provides more information on the
dip switches.)
15
If manual charge control is being utilized, the data in Location 19 (L19) must be set to d02. It
is the factory recommendation to also set the data in Location 7 (L07) to d02 so that both
room and brick core temperatures can be adjusted after the M button is pressed for a few
seconds. It may be necessary to unlock these locations to make the change. This is done by
changing the data in Location 39 (L39) to d20. Remember to reset the lock when adjustments
are complete.
____ 4. Energize the heater and check blower (37) operation. If the blower is operating, adjust the room temperature
set point below the actual room temperature. To make certain the blower will start in low speed, set the room
temperature one degree above actual room temperature. To check to ensure the heater’s blower will operate
in high speed, adjust the room temperature set point to at least five degrees above actual room temperature.
____ 5.Set the heater to the charge mode and adjust the room temperature so the blower is operating. With a clamp-
on amp meter, check for proper amperage draw on the charging circuit(s). On Models 2002 and 2003, this is
done at B1 terminal block position. On Models 2004, 2005, and 2006, this is done by totalling the readings
from the B1 and R1 terminal block positions (30). Refer to the Unit Identification Label on the lower left
side panel of the heater for information on voltage and input wattage of the heater being installed. Use the
Charging Circuit Amperage Draw table on the next page for reference to the correct amperage for the
specific heater being installed.
Page 17
16
NOTE
____ 6.Make certain all fuses and/or circuit breakers are labeled in the distribution panel. Use the Steffes orange
panel label provided in the wall mounting bracket hardware package (53).

____ 7. Check all other system controls for proper operation.
FIGURE 10
____ 8.De-energize the heater. Return the control circuit board (2) to its
original position. Install the painted front panel (18). To assist
in aligning the front panel with the top panel (19) and to make it
easier to install the front panel screws, lifting slots have been
provided in the galvanized base tray (57), one at each end. Place
the tip of a screwdriver in one of these slots and lift upward. (See
Figure 10.) Install the screw. Do the same on the other end. Be
sure to use the plastic grill guard when installing the screws to
protect the grill (10) from being scratched. The grill guard
should be removed after the installation. Energize the system.
____9.Present owner with the manual and warranty information. The
owner's registration card must be completed and returned to
Steffes Corporation to ensure warranty coverage. The owner
should retain the top portion of the card for their records. The
installer should retain the Supplemental Guide.
____ 10. Take the time needed to instruct the owner on how to operate the system. Many service calls with new ETS
systems are a result of owner confusion on equipment operation. The time spent in training will greatly
reduce the chance of a call back.

HEATER DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
5
The brick core charging of the 2000 series room heating unit is capable of being controlled by low voltage
wiring, by line voltage wiring, by a time clock or by a power line carrier signal (wireless control) with the use of
the Steffes power line carrier (PLC) control system.
Depending on which method of heating element control is being used, the unit configuration dip switches will
need to be set accordingly. (See Figure 13 for location of these dip switches in the heater.) The function of each
dip switch is as follows:
Dip Switch #1 = Invert Peak Signal (Should be "ON" if using a time clock for control purposes.)
Dip Switch #2 = NOT USED (Should always remain in "OFF" position.)
Dip Switch #3 = Invert Occupied/Not Occupied Signal (Room Temperature Set back)
Dip Switch #4 = Invert Anticipated (Pre-Peak) Signal
Dip Switch #5 = Enable Auxiliary Heat Call Feature
Dip Switch #6 = Automatic Charge Control Configuration (Should be "ON" if a direct wired outdoor sensor is being
used for automatic brick core charge regulation.)
Dip Switch #7 = Security (Editing Control) Mode
Dip Switch #8 = Used for factory purposes ONLY. (Must always remain in "OFF" position.)
If the dip switch button is set in the up position, the dip switch is in the "ON" (activated) position.
If the dip switch button is set in the down position, the dip switch is in the "OFF" (deactivated)
position. (See Figure 13 for location of the dip switches in the heater.)

value in this location is set to d45, then 45oF will be the lowest room temperature to which the thermostat can be adjusted. When adjusting the room temperature set point below this setting, the heater will
be shut off. "OFF" will be displayed on the face plate. L09 is factory preset at d45 (45oF which
equates to 7.2oC).
Data Value Range:d01 to d80 (degrees Fahrenheit)
(Celsius equivalency: -17.2 to 26.7)
This location allows for calibrating of the current room temperature value which is displayed. By
entering a negative number into this location, the actual room temperature value displayed will be
decreased by that number. By entering a positive number, the room temperature value displayed will
be increased by that number. For example: The room heating unit could sense it is 68oF in the room;
however, with a data value of d04 entered into this location, the face plate will display 72oF. Calibration of the room temperature may vary from heater to heater and will be set at the factory.
Data Value Range: -20 to d20 (degrees Fahrenheit)
If you are entering a negative data value into a location, the face plate will display a
"-" (minus sign) rather than a "d" while in the edit mode.
BRICK CORE OPERATING MODES: "C", "P", AND "A"
4
Typically, the face plate of the control panel will continuously display current room temperature. It will also
display a "C" for charge, "P" for peak, or "A" for anticipated peak to indicate the current brick core operating
mode (See Figure 21). The face plate can be set so these brick core charging modes are not displayed; but,
rather, an "F" for Fahrenheit or "C" for Celsius is displayed after the room temperature (See Figure 22.)
These options can be preset to owner preference during the installation procedure when the
heater operational functions are being set. The installing electrical contractor or power company
personnel will have more information on how to change these functions in the heater.

NOTE
1.Charge Mode (Off-Peak): See Figure 23
• MODE digit displays a "C".
• TEMPERATURE digits display current room
temperature.
• During this mode, if the temperature of the brick
core is insufficient (based on the manual charge
setting or the automatic charge control outdoor
temperature information), the heating elements will
be on. Heat will be stored in the bricks to maintain
the appropriate charge level. Once the appropriate
brick core charge level is reached, the heating
elements will automatically turn off.
• The blower turns on when the room thermostat
calls for heat and extracts heat from the brick core
to maintain a constant, comfortable room temperature.
• If the room thermostat calls for heat during a time
when there is no heat stored in the brick core, the
blower and heating elements will come on and
begin releasing heat to the area until the heat call
has been satisfied.
2.Peak Mode (On-Peak): See Figure 24
• MODE digit displays a "P".
• TEMPERATURE digits display actual room tem-
perature.
• During this mode, the heater is not allowed to store
heat in the bricks. The heating elements will remain
off for the duration of the on-peak period. (Exception: If the utility company permits the use of the
freeze protection and/or comfort override options,
some element operation may occur. See below.)
• The blower turns on when the room thermostat calls
for heat and extracts heat from the brick core to
maintain a constant, comfortable room temperature.

Comfort Override (power company permitting)
This feature is used to achieve room comfort in the
area where the heater is located if the stored heat in
the brick core has been depleted. If the power
company permits the use of this feature, it will allow
the heating elements to come on during a peak mode.
This occurs only if the room temperature falls a
preset number of degrees below the room temperature
set point and the stored heat in the brick core has been
depleted.
Freeze protection and peak override options may not be available in your area. Please consult
your power company if you are unsure of whether these options are available to you.
Freeze Protection (power company permitting)
This feature is used to maintain a temperature above
freezing in the area where the heater is located. If
the power company permits the use of this feature, it
will allow the heating elements to come on during a
peak mode. This occurs only if room temperature
falls below the freeze protection temperature set
point as programmed in the heater.

3.Anticipated Peak (Pre-Peak) Mode: See Figure 25
Advanced Heater Operation (cont'd)
This mode is used only in specialiazed installations.
You may not have this option enabled on your
heating unit.
FIGURE 25
This mode of operation is used in situations where the
power company sends a signal to the equipment prior
to the possibility of a control (on-peak) period. Once
the signal is received, the room heating unit will charge
to a level needed to satisfy the heating requirements of
the area during the control period.
• MODE digit displays an "A".
• TEMPERATURE digits display actual room
temperature.
• During this mode, the heater is allowed to store heat
in the brick core. If the brick core charge level is
insufficient (based on the manual charge setting or
the automatic charge control outdoor temperature
information), the heating elements will be on. Heat
will be stored in the bricks to maintain the appropriate charge level. Once the appropriate brick core
charge level is reached, the heating elements will
automatically turn off.
• The heater can be set so that the blower comes on as the room thermostat calls for heat, or it can be
set so that it cannot come on at all during an anticipated peak period. The heater can also be set so
that there is limited blower operation during this time. Under some situations, limiting the amount
of blower operation, or not allowing it to come on at all, may be necessary to ensure that the room
heating unit will have an adequate amount of heat stored in the bricks for an upcoming peak control
period.
