Element Wire Configuration (Multi-watt models RM151, RM162 and RM168 only)
STEP 1
Cadet's Multi-Watt RM heater offers a variety of heat output options. You must first determine the desired wattage and then configure
the heating element wire connections. The heater is shipped from the factory configured for maximum watts: 1600 Watts (240V) and
(208V) for RM162 and RM168, and 1500 Watts (120V) for RM151. If this is the wattage you desire, proceed to STEP 2.
On models RM151, RM162 and RM168, mark wiring diagram on the back of the heater with the wattage used for future reference.
IF YOUR DESIRED
