at least 6” (153mm) of cable inside the box. (See Fan Delay Notice.)
6. Connect the supply cable ground wire to green ground screw
provided.
NOTE: Lead holes for a #8 sheet metal screw have been provided in the
sides of the back box. fter the finished wall or ceiling has been put up,
drive a # 8(m4) sheet metal screw (recommended 1”) through the side of
the box not mounted to the joist. This will prevent the back box from
pulling out when installing the heater assembly. (See Figure 1)
INSTALLATION OF BACK BOX
IN EXISTING CONSTRUCTION
1. Carefully mark and cut a hole measuring 9-3/8" (235mm) wide by 11-
1/8" (283mm) long. One edge of the hole must be cut along the
edge of a joist.
2. Proceed to No. 1 through 6 (Installation of Back Box in New
Construction).
INSTALLATION OF HEATER IN T-BAR CEILING
USING CATALOG NUMBER HTBF
1. Determine the desired location for the heater.
2. Remove heater from carton, remove front cover, heater assembly
from back box.
3. Remove T-Bar frame, envelope containing mounting screws from car-
ton.
4. Mount the heater backbox to the HTBF kit frame using the four
screws provided. Refer to figure 1 .
5. Place the HTBF frame with heater backbox installed in ceiling framing
and secure in position. Secure the frame to the building structure as
necessary using appropriate wire to prevent the heater and frame
from falling.
6. Bring power supply cable to heater location. Remove the desired
knockout in backbox and install cable using an appropriate cable
clamp, leaving at least six inches (153mm) of wire in box for connec-
tions.
NOTE: Power supply cable must enter backbox in location behind the
disconnect switch assembly.
7. Complete the installation by following steps 1 through 5 of the
"Installation and Wiring of Heater / Fan ssembly" section.
FIELD CONVERSION FOR LOWER WATTAGE RATING
NOTE: Refer to specification chart for lower wattage ratings which are
available.
To convert heater to lower wattage rating, completely remove red jumper
wire from both heating elements (See Figure 2). Discard this jumper. Be
sure remaining wires are securely connected.
INSTALLATION AND WIRING
OF HEATER / FAN ASSEMBLY
1. Following wiring diagram (Figure 3) connect supply wiring and ther-
mostat wiring to heater lead wires in back box.
GENERAL
The heater is designed for recessed installation in 2” X 4” (50mm X
101mm) joist or larger ceiling section using the back box provided. The
heater may also be surface mounted by using the Surface Mounting
Frame. The heater is intended to be controlled by a single pole, wall
mounted thermostat (ordered separately). The heater may be wired with
standard building wire (60°C). (See Fan Delay Notice bove). Refer to
specification chart (see pg. 4) for correct supply voltage and wire size.
NOTE: The optimum mounting height for this heater is 8’ (2440mm) from
floor to bottom of back box. In any case do not install closer than 6’
(1830mm) from the floor, or closer than 12” (305mm) to adjacent walls.
INSTALLATION OF BACK BOX
IN NEW CONSTRUCTION
NOTE: If the finished ceiling surface is already up, follow instructions for
“INST LL TION OF B CK BOX IN EXISTING CONSTRUCTION”.
1. Determine which side of the back box is to be mounted against a
joist and bend the tabs at the rear corners out 90 degrees so that
the back box will be square with the joist after installation. (See
Figure 1).
2. Remove one of the knockouts on socket side of the back box and
install a cable or conduit connector.
3. Position back box against side of joist and secure using nails or screws
as shown in Figure 1.
NOTE: The back box must be installed with the front edge flush with the
finished surface.
4. Run power supply cable through the connector, leaving about 8”
(203mm)of wire inside the box.
5. Run thermostat cable from wall thermostat to heater location leaving

Risk of Fire – Do not install heater closer than 12 inches (305mm) from
any wall.
Risk of Falling – The heater backbox must be securely mounted to the
building structure and the building structure must be capable of sup-
porting the heater with all accessories. The heater weight with acces-
sories is at least 18 lbs.
WARNING

HEATER CHECKOUT AND OPERATION
1. fter heater is completely assembled, rotate wall thermostat knob
counterclockwise until control stops. This is the minimum heat setting.
2. Turn power supply to heater “ON” at main switch panel.
3. Heater should not operate. If it operates, disconnect power and re-
check wiring.
4. Rotate wall thermostat knob clockwise until it stops (maximum heat
setting) and wait at least 2 minutes. Fan control will delay fan coming
on until element is warm.
5. If heater and fan do not come on, disconnect power and check wiring.
6. llow heater to continue to operate until room temperature reaches
desired comfort level. Then rotate wall thermostat knob counterclock-
wise slowly until thermostat clicks off. Fan must continue to operate
for a minute or so until element cools. If fan turns off immediately
when thermostat is turned off, disconnect power and check wiring.
(See Fan Delay Notice).
7. It may be necessary to readjust thermostat a time or so until exact
comfort level is attained. Rotation in the clockwise direction will
increase the amount of time the heater will produce heat. Rotation in
the counterclockwise direction will reduce the amount of time the
heater is on.
NOTE: For best results, the heater should be left “ON” constantly during
the heating season as the thermostat, when properly set, will maintain the
desired temperature. In the full counter-clockwise position the heater will
remain off until the room temperature drops well below freezing.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Your heater is designed for years of trouble-free operation and requires
no special maintenance other than occasional cleaning. The motor is
permanently lubricated.
Once each year, the heater should be cleaned to remove dust and other
foreign material which has collected during the heating season, as
follows:
1. Turn power off at main switch.
2. Remove front cover by depressing plastic tabs with a flat bladed
screwdriver as shown in Figure 4. Release both tabs on one side then
rotate cover off of heater fan assembly.
3. Use vacuum cleaner with brush attachment to remove dust and dirt
that has accumulated in heater (especially around element and fan
blade). Do not use water or any cleaners to clean heater
components.
4. Replace grille.
5. Wipe grille clean with a damp cloth. DO NOT use waxes or any clean-
ers that leave a residue since these may discolor during heater oper-
ation.
6. Turn the main line switch on at the switch panel to restore power to
heater. The heater is now ready for another season of operation.
OPERATIONAL NOTICE
Your heater is equipped with an automatic reset over-temperature limit con-
trol that will automatically turn the heater off to prevent a fire if the heater
overheats.

INSTALLATION OF FRONT COVER (GRILLE)
1. Position the front cover so the four (4) holes on the side align with
the tabs on the plastic pieces of the heater/fan assembly.
2. Hook the front cover over the tabs on one side then rotate the front
cover into place making sure that all four tabs are snapped onto the
front cover.

NOTE: For 120 and 277 volt heaters connect the white neutral supply
lead to the heaters white pigtail lead, and connect the black supply lead
to the heaters black pigtail lead. For 208 and 240 volt heaters change the
color of the heaters white pigtail lead to black by wrapping with black elec-
trical tape. (Most electrical codes require the supply leads to be connec-
ed to black leads). Then connect the two black supply leads to the two
black receptacle leads. Connect the two red thermostat leads to thermo-
stat as shown in wiring diagram.
2. Slide supply wiring under retaining straps in back box to hold in place.
3. Insert wiring plug from heater/fan assembly into socket in back box.
4. Fit heater/fan assembly into back box and secure in place with (2)
