Setup and Installation
Mounting
The heater comes with a universal wall/ceiling bracket for simple installation. Ensure the mounting location is structurally sound and can support the heater's weight (approximately 100 pounds). Maintain adequate clearance from walls, ceilings, and flammable materials as specified in the detailed installation guide (not included in this summary).

Electrical Connection
This unit requires a 240V electrical supply and draws 52.1 Amps. Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all local and national electrical codes. The heater is hard-wired and does not use a standard plug.
Remote Temperature Sensor
The ECO2S+ Remote Temperature Sensor should be placed on a wall or shelf in the area where you desire the most accurate temperature reading. This allows the heater to work smarter by sensing the actual room temperature away from the unit itself, ensuring even heating and eliminating cold spots.
Optional 24V Thermostat
The heater includes a provision for adding an optional 24V thermostat for remote temperature control. This makes it compatible with smart thermostats like Nest or other 24V WiFi thermostats, offering enhanced control options.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your heater.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the heater with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure the unit is powered off and cool before cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Airflow: Ensure that the air intake and exhaust grilles are free from dust, debris, and obstructions. Blocked airflow can lead to overheating and reduced efficiency.
- Inspections: Annually inspect the electrical connections and mounting hardware for any signs of wear or loosening. If any issues are found, contact a qualified technician.

Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your heater, consult the following common problems and solutions:
- Heater not turning on: Check the circuit breaker for the heater's circuit. Ensure the unit is properly wired and receiving power. Verify the thermostat setting is above the ambient temperature.
- Heater not producing heat: Confirm the unit is in heating mode, not just fan-only mode. Check the remote temperature sensor placement and ensure it's communicating with the main unit.
- Fan not operating: Ensure the unit is powered on. If in heating mode, the fan should activate with the heating elements. If in fan-only mode, check the setting.
- Uneven heating: Reposition the remote temperature sensor to a location that better represents the average temperature of the space or a known cold spot. Ensure no obstructions are blocking airflow.
For persistent issues, contact customer support or a qualified electrician.
