Installation Instructions
1. Remove the heater front panel by lifting up and pulling out on the bottom edge of the front panel.
Set the front panel aside.
2. Remove the junction box cover at the left end of the heater by removing the screw (See Figure 1).
Keep screw for future use.
3. If you are installing the EBKA-1-24 thermostat kit as part of a new installation, proceed to Step 6.
4. Disconnect the power supply wires and remove the wiring strain relief device from the heater.
5. Remove heater from the wall by lifting the heater off the mounting brackets. It is best to replace the
thermostat while the heater is not mounted.
6. Remove the existing left end cap or EBKA-1-24 thermostat kit by removing the screw and clip located
on the back of the heater and sliding the end cap away from the heater. Keep screw and clip for future use.
7. Attach the new EBKA-1-24 thermostat kit with the indicator light on top by sliding it onto the heater,
making sure no wires are caught between the thermostat and heater. Secure in place using the screw
and clip previously removed in Step 6.
8. Route power supply wires through the
wiring knockout hole and secure to heater
using the strain relief connector. If this is a
new unit, refer to the EBHA owner’s guide
for instructions on how to install the heater.
9. Attach heater to the wall mounting
brackets, making sure the power supply
wires are not pinched between the wall
and the heater.
10. Connect one
red
wire from the thermostat
to one power supply wire. Connect
remaining
red
wire from thermostat to
remaining power supply wire.
11. Connect one
black
wire from the
thermostat and one
black
wire from the
indicator light to one
black
wire from the heater. Connect the remaining
black
wire from the thermostat
and
black
wire from the indicator light to the remaining
black
wire from the heater.
12. Connect ground to grounding screw provided in junction box.
Note
: All wires must be used.
13. Inspect all wire connections to be sure they are fastened securely. Push wiring back into the junction
box and re-attach the junction box cover using screw previously removed.
14. Reattach the heater front panel and turn the thermostat to the lowest position.
15. Restore power at the electrical panel board (circuit breaker or fuse box).
16. Rotate the thermostat control knob to a higher setting until the indicator light turns on.
IMPORTANT
: All wiring must comply with all local electrical codes.
