1. All electrical work and materials must comply
with the National Electric Code (NEC), the Occu-
pational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and all
state and local codes.
2. Use copper conductors only.
3. Turn off power to heater circuit at main discon-
nect panel.
4. Connect grounding lead to grounding screw
provided.
STEP 2
Install the Cadet Electric Baseboard
heater according to the installation
instructions supplied with the product.
The SBFT2 thermostat must be located
in the same wiring compartment as the
supplied electrical power. Both wiring
compartments are equipped with a
grounding screw.
STEP 1
Turn the electrical power off at the
circuit breaker or fuse box.
STEP 3
Remove the wiring compartment
cover at the end of the baseboard
that has the supplied electrical
power
.
STEP 4
Connect the supply grounding
wire to the green grounding
screw provided.
STEP 5
Follow the appropriate instructions
in Part 2 for left or right wiring
compartment.
A.
Locate and cut closed end
splice containing limit wire
(bottom) and return wire behind
deflector (top). Strip 1/2" of
insulation from these two cut
wires.
DO NOT DISCONNECT
THE OTHER CLOSED END
SPLICE!
B.
Join the wire from the limit
(bottom)
with the wire from
thermostat terminal J5L2 with a
wire connector.
D.
Connect each of the
remaining two power supply
leads to each lead from the
thermostat rocker switch
with a wire connector.
Proceed to Part 3.
C.
Join the return wire behind
deflector (top) with the wire from
thermostat terminal J1T1 with a
wire connector.
STEP 2
Remove screw attaching
the existing BTF assembly
to the baseboard case
and carefully pull it back
to expose the wiring and
connections. (Test with
meter or circuit tester to
verify that no electrical
power is present before
proceeding.)
STEP 3
If the power supply has
been brought into the
baseboard at the wiring
compartment with the
BTF, undo the wire
connectors and remove
the old thermostat.
Proceed to Part 2
for left or right wiring
compartment.
STEP 4
If the power supply has not been brought into the
baseboard at the wiring compartment with the BTF, undo
the wire connectors and remove the old thermostat.
The new SBFT2 must be located in the same wiring
compartment as the supplied electrical power. Strip 1/2”
of insulation from the two wire leads created when the
thermostat was removed. Join the two wires back together
using a wire connector. Remove the wiring compartment
cover from the other end and install it to the wiring
compartment where the thermostat was removed.
Proceed to Part 2 for left or right wiring compartment.
