Determine the location
The equipment interface module (EIM) consists of a relay and an antenna. They can be
installed either in the wiring compartment of the baseboard heater or in a 4-11/16” square
junction box.
• Installing the EIM in a baseboard heater
You can install the EIM in the wiring
compartment of the baseboard heater if you
have any of the heaters listed in the following
table:
• Installing the EIM in a 4-11/16” square junction box
You can use a 4-11/16” square junction box in either of
the following conditions:
• You have a convector or fan-forced heater.
• You cannot install or do not wish to install the EIM in
the wiring compartment of the baseboard heater.

Install the Equipment Interface Module (EIM)
2.
Install EIMs at a minimum distance of 2 feet (0.6 m) of each other. This minimum
distance still applies even if the EIMs are on opposite sides of a wall.

Installation in a baseboard heater
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
Can cause electrical shock or equipment damage. Disconnect AC power before
beginning installation.
Wiring must comply with local electrical codes. Use special CO/ALR solderless connectors if
supply wires are made of aluminum.
Disconnect the heater wires from the supply wires. If the heater has a built-in thermostat, remove it.
1) Remove the knockout on the side of the heater.
2) Remove the locknut from the antenna and peel off
the adhesive backing. Feed the antenna cable
through the knockout and install the antenna
vertically as shown. Put the locknut and tighten.
3) Clean the back panel inside the wiring
compartment where the relay will be installed. Peel
the adhesive backing off the relay and stick the
relay on the back panel.
4) Connect the heater wires and the supply wires to
the relay.
See page 6 if you are connecting more than one
heater.
5) Insert the antenna plug into the relay receptacle
until you hear a click.
6) Put the heater cover back. (If a built-in thermostat
was removed, install one of the supplied plugs to
cover the hole on the existing cover.) Apply power
to the heater. Do not install the antenna cover yet.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
Can cause electrical shock. Install heater cover
plate before applying power.

Adaptive Intelligent Recovery (horaire anticipé)
Available only if you use the thermostat in programmable mode.
When Adaptive Intelligent Recovery is on, the thermostat “learns” how long your heater
takes to reach the set temperature. The thermostat will then determine when to activate
heating so the desired temperature is attained at the desired time. The thermostat re-
assesses the heating start time daily based on the previous day’s performance. When
Adaptive Intelligent Recovery is off, heating starts at the set time.
To turn off Adaptive Intelligent Recovery, proceed as follows:

Follow the guidelines below when mounting the thermostat:
• Do NOT install the thermostat in an area where it can be exposed to water or rain.
• Avoid locations where there are air drafts (top of staircase, air outlet), dead air spots (behind a
door), direct sunlight or concealed chimney or stove pipes.
• For a new installation, choose a location about 1.5 m (5 ft.) above the floor.
• Install the thermostat on an inside wall facing the heater.
• Keep the thermostat's top and bottom air vents (openings) clean and unobstructed at all times.
Two mounting plates are provided for mounting the thermostat on the wall or on a junction box.
Use Method A for a slimmer thermostat look. Choose Method B if you prefer not to make an
opening in the wall. Method C must be used for installation on a junction box.
