KING ELECTRICAL LPW2445C (01) PDF MANUAL

It is extremely important to verify that the electrical power supply is the same voltage as the heater you are installing. 208 / 240 / 277 and 120 Volt heaters are not interchangeable. Powering a 208 / 240 / 277 Volt unit with 120 Volt supply wires will reduce the heater’s output by approximately 75%. Powering a 120 Volt unit with 208 / 240 / 277 Volt supply wires will destroy the heater and voids all warranties.

Power must be brought to the heater first, then to the wall thermostat. This is necessary to provide power for the fan to cool down the element after the thermostat has opened. Use a single pole line voltage wall thermostat or switch only to control this heater.

Open the circuit breaker supplying the heater before attempting installation, maintenance, or repairs. Lock or tag the circuit breaker panel door. Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock, burns, or possible death.

The initial steps for preparing the heater for installation are:

1. Remove heater contents from carton.

2. Remove grille by loosening the four mounting screws along the sides of the front panel.

3. Detach interior assembly from the ceiling case by removing the four screws along each side of the interior panel. Lift and tilt assembly away from the top of the ceiling case. Free the bottom edge from the metal lip inside the ceiling case. Place the interior assembly in a safe location until the ceiling case is mounted.

Mount the heater enclosure can on ceiling joists a minimum of 6″ from the side wall, using the holes provided in the sides of the case. The face of the case should be flush with the finished ceiling surface. Installation of the interior and grille to the ceiling case will cover an approximate 1/2″ periphery along the outer area of the opening.

Mount the heater wall installation case on wall studs a minimum of 6″ from the side wall or open edge of a door and a minimum of 4″ from the floor (10″ recommended), using the holes provided in the sides of the case. The face of the case should be flush with the finished wall. Installation of the interior and grille to the ceiling case covers an approximate 5/8″ periphery along the outer area of the opening.

After the ceiling case is secured, interior assembly leads may be attached to supply wires and the interior secured to the ceiling case. The LPW heater is equipped with two steel elements having a capacity of 2250 Watts each, for a combined capacity of 4500 Watts. The heater is factory-wired at 4500 Watts.

To adjust the heater for lower wattages, unplug (disconnect) an insulated push on terminal and wrap it with electrical tape to prevent the possibility of electrical contact with other parts. Remove the appropriate colored wire according to the illustration and wattage diagram.

The final steps for completing the heater installation are:

1. Reinstall interior assembly on the ceiling case using screws provided.

2. Mount grille to the interior with screws provided.

3. Installation is now complete and the heater is ready for use.

The light may illuminate periodically in normal operation for 10 to 45 seconds; this flashing is not a hazard. If the light stays on steadily for 1 to 5 minutes, an over-temperature condition probably exists and the heater should be examined.

Once yearly the heater should be checked for lint or dust accumulation but no further maintenance is required. The motor is permanently lubricated and sealed.
