LPC Series
imPOrTanT inSTrUCTiOnS
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to person, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this heater.
2. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas
where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.
3. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot
surfaces. If provided, use handles when moving this heater. Keep combusti-
ble materials such as: furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains
away from heater.
4. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
Do not use on soft surfaces like a bed where openings may become blocked.
5. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust open-
ing as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.
6. Do not install these heaters against combustible, low density cellulose fibre
surfaces.
7. Do not locate these heaters below any electrical convenience receptacles.
8. Check nameplate ratings to be sure the heater voltage is the same as the
service supply. (The nameplate is located below the right side of the heating
element.)
9. HIgH TEmPERATuRES : Keep electrical cords, furniture, draperies or any
other blocking material away from the heater. See Installation Section for
specific distances.

note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
FCC CaUTiOn: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this
equipment.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

installation instructions
Warning: Heater and controls should be installed by a qualified contractor.
Warning: Wiring procedures and connections should be in accordance
with the National Electric Code (CEC & NEC) and local codes.
CaUTiOn: Disconnect power supply before installation to prevent electric
shock.
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.
CaUTiOn: The total connected load should not be more than 80% of the
rating of the over current devices.
Placement of the linear ProPortional convector
Linear Proportional Convectors may only be surface mounted on plaster, wood or
concrete walls and oriented horizontally with the grille topside up. (See Figure 4)

heater (fiGUre 1)
caUtion: For objects located at specified distance (see below) from the
heater, the material should not discolor, nor distort dimensionally (stretch or shrink)
upon extended exposure (1000 hrs.) to a temperature of 200º F (93º C).
For most satisfactory operation of the heaters and minimum effect 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" (3.8cm) between the bottom
of the drapes and the finished floor covering (such as carpet, if used) AND at
least 3" (7.6 cm) between the front vertical surface of the heater and the near-
est fold of the drapes (opened drape). (Figure 1A)
2. Shorter length Drapes: Hang drapes so there is at least 1.5" (3.8 cm) be-
tween the top of the drapes and the ceiling, and at least 6" (15.2 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. (Figure 1C)
4. overhanging Solid objects:
14" (35.6 cm) between the top of the heater and any solid object that obstructs
or redirects the vertical air flow out of the top of the unit. (Figure 1D)
caUtion: This high efficiency linear convector is designed to operate at
higher air outlet temperatures than conventional baseboard heaters. Some vinyl
blinds and vinyl window trims may deform if installed within 20" of this unit.
!
nOTE: Ensure that when 2 Linear Proportional Convectors are installed near
the same corner they are both a minimum of 6" from the corner.
