CONVECTAIR recommends that this heater be installed in accordance with
national and local codes.
To prevent short circuits and electrical shocks turn the power off at the main
panel before attempting the installation or any repairs.
If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an
approved service depot or a technician with similar qualifications.
Be aware : Wiring color coding.
When connecting the heater’s connection box to the house wiring, main-
tain the same color code for all heaters.
L1 = Power, Line 1 – red (in the US : white)
= Ground ( ) - copper wire
L2 = Power, Line 2 – black
PW = PILOT WIRE
See Fig. K and L
The Pilot Wire (PW) must never be connected to the ground.
CAUTION :
This heater must be connected to a 240 Volt or 208 Volt (60 cycles) circuit. Dis-
connect the power supply before making wiring connections to prevent electrical
shock and equipment damage. If you are using a Programmer system, make sure
to cut the power off ALL electrical heating circuits in the home (for more informa-
tion, see the CONVECTAIR model 7392 installation notice).
