B. INSTALLATION
1. The BX convection heater is symmetrically designed and
CSA approved so that the electrical connection box can
be located at either end. Before attaching the universal
mounting legs, be sure to identify the end to be electrically
connected.
2. The BX is CSA approved as an industrial baseboard heater
for floor or wall mounting. A minimum distance of 90 mm
(3 1/2") must be maintained between the heater and walls
or floors. The universal mounting brackets (supplied) are
designed to provide this clearance.
NOTE:
The BX heater weighs 45 lbs (21 kg). The wall supports
must be strong enough to carry this weight.
3. Attach the mounting brackets to the floor or wall. All
studs, bolts, nuts and other fasteners shall be secured
so that there is no possibility of loosening over prolonged
periods. These must be inspected at regular intervals and
retightened when necessary.
4. See Figure 1 – Floor Mount or Figure 2 – Wall Mount.,
page 3 for bracket mounting details.
4.1 Remove the two screws located on the front panel.
4.2 Remove the heater front panel.
4.3 Back off the screws on the universal mounting legs
enough to allow penetration of the screw heads
through the keyhole openings in the back of the
heater.
4.4 Slide the heater assembly to the side so that the
mounting screws engage the keyhole openings.
4.5 Tighten the mounting screws to secure the heater to
the mounting brackets.
4.6 The electrical connection box is exposed upon
removal of the heater front panel, allowing for
electrical connections to be made at this time. See
Section C. Electrical Connections, page 4 for
electrical suggestions.
4.7 Thermostat - If the heater selected is equipped
with a built-in thermostat, see Figure 3, page 3
for final mounting. The thermostat is connected
electrically, but the sensing bulb and capillary tube
must be secured into the final mounting position
as shown. The simple final assembly will ensure
good temperature control. Be certain not to “kink”
the capillary tube or crush the sensing bulb during
installation.
