Linear Convector Baseboard

LCM Series

PLACEMENT OF THE LINEAR CONVECTOR

BASEBOARD

Linear convector baseboards are high performance heaters designed

to operate at higher outlet temperatures than conventional baseboard

heaters. They can be directly mounted onto drywall, plaster, wood or

concrete walls. Due to the higher outlet temperature, the wall surface

can reach temperatures of 138º F (59º C) and some materials may

discolor or deform at these temperatures, e.g. vinyl or plastic.

NOTE: If the unit is being installed on a newly constructed wall,

ensure that all products that have been applied are fully cured

according to manufacturer’s instructions, before operating the unit.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LOCATING DRAPES

AND FURNITURE NEAR HEATER (FIGURE 1)

NOTE: Any objects or materials that are located within the distances

outlined below should not discolor, nor distort dimensionally (stretch

or shrink) upon extended exposure (up to 1000 hrs.) to temperatures

of 200º F (93º C).

For most satisfactory operation of the heaters and minimum e󰀨ect

on drapes, furniture and objects in close proximity, the following

recommendations should be observed:

1. Full Length Drapes: Hang drapes so there is at least 1.5” (3.8 cm)

between the top of the drapes and the ceiling, at least 1.5” (3.8 cm)

between the bottom of the drapes and the nished oor covering

(such as carpet, if used) AND at least 3” (7.6 cm) between the front

vertical surface of the heater and the nearest fold of the drapes

(opened drape). (Figure 1A)

2. Shorter Length Drapes: Hang drapes so there is at least 1.5”

(3.8 cm) between the top of the drapes and the ceiling, and at least

6” (15.3 cm), preferably more, between the bottom of the drapes

and the top horizontal surface of the heater. (Figure 1B)

3. Furniture: Place furniture no closer than 3” (7.62 cm) from the front

of the linear convector baseboard. (Figure 1D)

4. Overhanging Solid Objects (Except Plastic): Position Baseboard

so there is at least 10” (25.4 cm) between the top of the heater and

any solid object that obstructs or redirects the vertical air ow 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 14” (35.6 cm) above the unit.

(Figure 1C)

NOTE: Ensure that when 2 linear convector baseboards are

installed near the same corner they are both a minimum of 6”

(15.3 cm) from the corner.

Installation Instructions

Tools Required

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always

be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock and injury to

person, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using this linear convector

baseboard.

2. Heater and controls should be installed by a qualied contractor.

Wiring procedures and connections should be in accordance

with the National Electric Code (CEC & NEC) and local codes.

3. A linear convector baseboard has hot and arcing or sparking

parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint or

ammable liquids are used or stored.

4. This linear convector baseboard is hot when in use. To avoid

burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Keep combustible

materials such as: furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes

and curtains away from linear convector baseboard.

5. To prevent a possible re, do not block air intakes or exhaust

in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces like a bed where

openings may become blocked.

6. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or

exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or re, or

damage the linear convector baseboard.

7. Do not install these linear convector baseboards against

combustible, low density cellulose bre surfaces or vinyl

wallpaper.

8. Do not locate these linear convector baseboards below any

electrical convenience receptacles.

9. Check baseboard nameplate ratings to be sure linear convector

baseboard voltage is the same as the service supply. (The

nameplate is located below the right side of the heating element.)

FACTORY WIRING OF THE LINEAR CONVECTOR BASEBOARD All linear convector baseboards have provisions for connection to either end of the linear convector baseboard. The lead wires at either end are factory spliced with wire nuts as a closed circuit. The circuit may be opened at either wire nut connection to make connections to the power supply and/or to the desired controls. (See Wiring Diagrams) CONTROLS (not included) A thermostat control (wall mounted or built-in) is required to operate this unit.
