redirects the vertical air flow out of the top of the unit. (Figure
1C)
5. Overhanging Plastic Objects: All Plastic items that cannot
withstand extended exposure to temperatures 60º C or higher
should be kept a minimum of 20" (50.8 cm) above the unit.
(Figure 1C))
!
NOTE: Ensure that when 2 Smart Baseboards are installed
near the same corner they are both a minimum of 6" from
the corner.
Installation
All Smart Baseboards must be connected from the right side
of the heater.
! NOTE: The left hand end of the enclosure can be used as
a junction box and the space under the heater can be used as
a wireway.
CAUTION: Disconnect power supply before installation to
prevent electric shock.
1. Unpack and place Smart Baseboard on floor face up, use
packaging to protect floor if required. Remove front covers.
! NOTE: Remove the center cover, by releasing the top
first.
! NOTE: Heater fins can be easily bent. For optimal
performance ensure that they remain vertical.
2. Orient unit in desired location and mark pilot holes - top and
bottom at both ends and at least one set in middle.
3. Wire unit as per diagrams (below) and National and Local
Electrical Codes.
CAUTION: Connect heaters to a branch circuit used only
for permanently installed heater and protected by over
current devices rated or set at no more than 30 amperes.
The total connected load should not be more than 80% of
the rating of the over current devices. It may cause a fire
hazard if not installed and maintained in accordance with
these instructions.
4. Position LPC, pushing cable back into wall (or conduit), run
screws through pre-selected mounting holes and spacers
(if applicable), using appropriate wall anchors, if necessary.
! NOTE: Screw should be backed off 1/2 turn from snug
position to allow free expansion and contraction of housing
and to ensure quiet operation.
5. Replace covers on unit.
! NOTE: Install the center cover first, by installing the top
first, then the bottom.

Usage of Multiple Smart Baseboards
Multiple Smart Baseboards can be wired in parallel on a single
circuit. To use/control multiple Smart Baseboards from a single
source, a CONNEX
one CONNEX
control all of the heaters from one location. Each component
must be within 15m (45ft) of any other component in the
system for the entire system to operate.
Operation
1. This smart baseboard must be properly installed before it
is used.
2. Prior to energizing, remove all construction dirt (plaster,
sawdust, etc.) from interior and exterior of smart baseboard.
Dimplex smart baseboards are designed and tested for safe
and trouble-free operation. All Dimplex smart baseboards are
protected against overheating by a built-in thermal cutout. Free
airflow throughout the smart baseboard is very important for
the most efficient operation of the smart baseboard. Restricted
airflow may cause the thermal overload protector to cycle the
smart baseboard "ON and OFF". A cycling smart baseboard
will not supply sufficient heat to the room.
CAUTION: Avoid direct contact of paper, fabric, or furniture
with smart baseboard, to prevent a possible fire.
When power is first supplied to the LPC the Setpoint
Temperature will flash in the temperature display area. At
any time either the + or - button can be pressed to have the
temperature setpoint displayed again.
A. Setting/Temperature Display
The LPC is designed to control the temperature of a room
anywhere from 32-86°F (0-30°C). Pressing the + or - will
increase or decrease the desired temperature for the room to
be heated by 0.5° (in either °C or °F).
After 5 seconds the Setpoint Temperature will switch to display
the intake temperature of the room.
!
NOTE: Pressing the + and - at the same time will toggle
between °C and °F.
Blue control wire and black element return wire are connected.
Connect L2/Neutral to these during installation.
L2 / Neutral
controller can be used. By synchronizing
®
controller to multiple LPC's, the controller can
®
Black wire from control.
Connect L1 to this during installation.
Yellow control wire and black element wire are connected.
Do not change during installation.
