Wire Connections

Match and connect the two wires marked “LINE1(L)” and “LINE2(N)” to the 

house power supply wires using the wire nuts provided. Gently tug on the wires 

to make sure they are secure, otherwise a wire could come loose and cause 

failure.  For added security, overwrap the connections with electrical tape.
Match and connect the two wires marked “LOAD1” and “LOAD2” to the power 

lead wires from the floor heating system. Secure these wire connections the 

same way.

          CAUTION:  Make sure the house power supply voltage matches the voltage 

rating of the floor heating system.  Do not apply 240 VAC to a 120 VAC rated 

system.  Connecting the wrong voltage may cause overheating and damage 

to the system, the control, floor coverings, etc.

Connect the house ground wire to the ground wire(s) from the floor heating 

system. If the electrical box is metal, a short length of wire must be secured to 

the electrical box from this ground connection.
Insert the ends of the floor sensor wire into the terminals marked “SENSOR” and 

snug the screws. It does not matter which wire goes into which terminal.

SunStat Relay (optional)

Read and follow the instructions provided with the SunStat Relay.
Pull 18 AWG to 24 AWG 2-conductor shielded wire through the wall from the 

SunStat Relay location to this control location. This wire may be up 100 feet (30 

m) in length (for 18 AWG shielded wire). Strip the wire ends 1/8” to 3/16” (3 mm 

to 4.5 mm) long. If the ends are stripped longer than this they may short-circuit.
Connect the wire ends into the “BUS” A and B terminals. Make sure the wire in 

“A” terminal is connected to an “A” terminal in the SunStat Relay.

Mounting the Control

Carefully press the wires back into the electrical box. Do not use the control to 

push them in, as this may cause connections to loosen and possible failure.
Loosen the screw and remove the front module from the power module. Secure 

the power module into the electrical box with the mounting screws provided.
Snap the front module onto the power module and tighten the screw. Press the 

Screw Cover in place to cover screw.

Customizing the Control

The door may be removed and painted to match a room color or special color.  

Use a plastic primer to prepare the surface of the door. Use only paints that are 

acceptable for this type surface and follow the paint manufacturer instructions.

         CAUTION:  Do not paint the door while it is attached to the control and do 

not paint any other part of the control.  Doing so will cause risk of fire and 

damage.
