The RLV430 thermostat can be used to control an electric heating
system such as a baseboard heater, a radiant floor, a radiant ceiling,
a convector or a fan-forced heater.

The thermostat cannot be used with the following:

•

a resistive load under 2 A

•

a resistive load over 14.6 A

•

systems driven by a contactor or a relay (inductive load)

•

central heating systems

•

One (1) thermostat

•

Two (2) 6-32 mounting screws

•

Two (2) solderless connectors

All cables and connections must comply with local electrical
codes.

This thermostat has tinned copper wires for line and load con-
nections. Special CO/ALR solderless connectors must be used if
these wires will be connected to aluminium conductors.

Install the thermostat onto an electrical box.

Install the thermostat about 5 feet high, on an inside wall facing
the heater.

Avoid locations where there are air drafts (such as the top of a
staircase or an air outlet), dead air spots (such as behind a
door), or direct sunlight. 

Do not install the thermostat on a wall that conceals chimney or
stove pipes.

The thermostat wires are not polarized; either wire can be con-
nected to the load or to the power supply.

Connect the thermostat wires to the power and to the load using
solderless connectors for copper wires.
