Operating your thermostat
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Warranty
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.
Carefully remove front cover from heater by lifting cover up from the bottom, and then outwards. Set aside. Remove wiring
compartment cover, held by one screw. (Figure 1). This thermostat kit occupies 2.4 cubic inches (39 cubic centimeters).
1. Once installation is complete and power has been restored, turn the thermostat fully on by turning the knob clockwise to
the highest position.
2. When the room reaches your comfort level, slowly turn the thermostat knob counterclockwise until the heater turns off
and a click sound is heard. The heater will automatically cycle around this preset temperature.
3. To reduce the room temperature, turn the knob counterclockwise. To increase the room temperature, turn the knob
clockwise.
After following steps above for a new or previously installed model, then:
Attach heater to the wall, making sure the power supply wires are not pinched between the wall and the heater.
240 Volt:
If your SoftHEAT baseboard is 240 volts or 208 volts, connect the two red wires from the thermostat to the two
power supply wires (see Figure 2). Then connect the two black wires from the thermostat to the two black wires from the
heater.
120 Volt:
If your SoftHEAT baseboard is 120 volts, connect the two black wires from the thermostat together. Then con-
nect the white wire from the baseboard to the neutral power supply wire (Figure 3). Then connect the black wire from the
baseboard to one of the red wires of the thermostat. Finally connect the remaining red thermostat wire to the remaining
power supply wire.
Inspect all wire connections to be sure they are fastened securely. Push wiring back into the wiring compartment and
attach the wiring compartment cover.
Attach the heater front cover. Restore power at the electrical panel board (circuit breaker or fuse box).
If installing on a new EBHN
heater:
1. Remove the end cap by remov-
ing 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.
2. Attach the new EBKN ther-
mostat kit 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.
3. Make wire connections below,
then refer to the EBHN owner’s
guide for instructions on how to
finish installing your heater.
If installing on an older model EBHA heater or a previously installed heater:
A new wiring compartment cover is required for the thermostat to fit properly on
an EBHA model heater. Use the wiring compartment cover provided and discard
your old cover.
1. Disconnect the power supply wires and remove the strain relief connector from
the heater. Unscrew grounding lead from ground screw.
2. Remove the heater from the wall. It is easier to replace the thermostat while
the heater is not mounted.
3. Remove the existing end cap or 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.
4. Attach the new EBKN thermostat kit 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.
5. Route power supply wires through the wiring knockout hole and secure to
heater using the strain relief connector. Reconnect grounding lead to green
ground screw.
For more effective and safer operation and to prolong the life of the
heater, read the Owner’s Guide and follow the maintenance instructions.
Failure to properly maintain the heater will void any warranty and may
cause the heater to function improperly. Warranties are non transferable
and apply to original consumer only. Warranty terms are set out below.
