Installation Instructions - Cadet CST252 Owner's Manual

READ ALL
INSTRUCTIONS
AND SAFETY
INFORMATION
IMPORTANT!
It is extremely
important you verify
that the electrical
supply wires are
the same voltage as
the heater (i.e. 120
volt heater to 120
volt power supply
and 240 volt heater
to 240 volt power
supply). If replacing
an existing heater,
check the labels of
the old heater and
replace using the
same voltage.
Hooking a 240 volt
heater to a 120 volt
power supply will
drastically reduce
the heater's output.
Hooking a 120 volt
heater to a 240 volt
power supply will
destroy the heater.
Connecting your
heater to an
incompatible
power supply will
void the warranty.

Installation Instructions

PLACEMENT: Read IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS for important safety requirements. Install The Com-Pak
Plus (Model CS) vertically (recommended) or horizontally. Model CS may be installed in the ceiling (for
models up to 1500W maximum. See ceiling mount instructions). The Com-Pak Twin Plus (Model CST) must
be installed with the arrows in the wall can pointing upwards.
THERMOSTAT: A wall thermostat is required for models without a built-in thermostat. A Cadet Elec tronic
Thermostat is recommended for ultimate control and comfort.
How do I install for
new construction walls?
Mount The Wall Can
STEP 1
The CS Series REQUIRES A MINIMUM distance of
6 inches from adjacent surfaces and 4
the floor (See Figure 4) and the CST Series REQUIRES
A MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent
surfaces and 4 1 / inches from the floor (See Figure 5).

However, Cadet RECOMMENDS 12 inches from all
adjacent surfaces and 12 inches above the floor for
longer and cleaner performance. Heaters must be
spaced at least 3 feet apart.
Review the wall can label for correct direction
(as noted by the UP arrows) before mounting the
wall can in the opening. In the VERTICAL mounting
position the elements of the heater assembly will be
at the top, in the HORIZONTAL mounting position the
elements of the heater assembly will be to the left.
Model CS: Keeping front of wall can flush with
finished surface (See Figure 1), secure the wall
can to the stud with 2 or more screws (not included)
through holes provided in wall can. As an option, the
rubber shim provided may be attached to side of wall
can to square the wall can to the stud (See Figure 2).
Model CST: Keeping front of wall can flush with
finished surface (See Figure 1), secure the wall can
to studs on both sides with at least 4 screws (not
included) through holes provided in the wall can.

Route Supply Wires
STEP 2
Route supply wire from circuit breaker to thermo stat
to wall can. For models with built-in thermostat, route
supply wire from circuit breaker to wall can. Remove a
knockout and attach the supply wire with a strain relief
connector leaving a minimum of 6 inches wire lead
for later use. Con nect supply ground wire to grounding
screw in wall can (See Figure 3). Proceed to PART TWO.
