Installation Instructions

To ensure that the unit operates safely and efficiently, it must be installed, operated and maintained according to these installation and operating instructions and all local codes and ordinances or, in their absence, with the latest edition of the National Electric Code. The proper installation of this unit is described in the following sections. Following the steps in the order presented should ensure proper installation.

WARNING

TO PREVENT PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO ELECTRICAL SHOCK, YOU MUST:

•MAKE SURE THE ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES ARE INSTALLED ONLY IN THE PRE-DRILLED MOUNTING HOLES.

•MAKE SURE THE ELECTRICAL WIRING IS NOT INSTALLED AND DOES NOT HANG BELOW THE PRE-DRILLED MOUNTING HOLES OR LIE IN THE UNIT BASE PAN.

SLEEVE STIFFENER AND REAR CLOSURE PANEL REMOVAL

Before the chassis can be installed in the wall sleeve, the sleeve stiffener and the rear closure panel must be removed.

1.Remove the zigzag folded cardboard sleeve stiffener.

2.Remove the rear closure panel by folding the four flaps.

3.Grasping the top and bottom flanges of the rear closure panel pull the entire panel out diagonally from one side.

DRAIN KIT INSTALLATION (Optional Accessory)

During normal reverse cycle heating operation, condensate water will drain out of the rear of the wall sleeve. If this water is objectionable, a drain kit should be installed. The drain kit has provisions for draining the water from either the right or left side of the sleeve externally or from the bottom of the sleeve inter- nally. The drain kit must be installed before the outdoor grille is installed. Refer to the Installation Instructions supplied with the drain kit for a complete description of the installation procedure.

EKTC, EKTH specifications

The Heat Controller EKTH and EKTC models are advanced heating solutions designed to provide energy-efficient climate control for residential and commercial spaces. These heat pumps combine sophisticated technology with user-friendly features to create a comfortable environment regardless of the outside temperature.

One of the standout features of both the EKTH and EKTC units is their inverter technology. This technology allows the compressor to operate at variable speeds, adjusting its output according to the current heating requirements. As a result, these systems provide consistent heating while consuming less energy compared to traditional fixed-speed units. The inverter technology not only enhances efficiency but also minimizes noise levels, making these heat controllers suitable for quiet environments.

Another significant characteristic of the EKTH and EKTC models is their all-weather performance. These heat pumps are engineered to perform effectively in a wide range of temperatures, ensuring reliable heating even in extremely cold conditions. With advanced defrost technology, these units can operate efficiently without freezing, maintaining optimal performance year-round.

User convenience is also a priority with the EKTH and EKTC systems. Both models feature intuitive digital controls that enable users to set their desired temperature comfortably. Additionally, many versions include Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing for remote access and control through a smartphone app. This feature is ideal for individuals seeking to monitor or adjust their heating systems while away from home.

Energy efficiency is a key aspect of the EKTH and EKTC heat controllers. They are designed with high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios (SEER) and Heating Seasonal Performance Factors (HSPF), which indicate their effectiveness in converting energy into heated air. Energy Star certification is often achieved by these models, making them attractive options for energy-conscious consumers looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

With a compact design, the EKTH and EKTC units can be easily integrated into various settings without taking up much space, allowing for flexible installation options. The sleek aesthetic also ensures that they blend seamlessly with interior decor.

In summary, the Heat Controller EKTH and EKTC models represent a cutting-edge solution to heating needs. They combine inverter technology, all-weather performance, user-friendly features, and high energy efficiency to provide reliable and comfortable heating solutions for any environment. Whether for a home or a commercial space, these heat pumps deliver quality and convenience in climate control.
