Linear Convector
LC Series
WARNING:
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 linear convectors to a branch circuit used only for
permanently installed linear convectors and protected by overcurrent devices
rated or set at not more than 30 amperes.
CAUTION: The total connected load should not be more then 80% of the
rating of the overcurrent devices.
PLACEMENT OF THE LINEAR CONVECTOR
Linear convectors may only be surface mounted on plaster, wood or concrete walls
and oriented horizontally with the grille topside up. (See Figure 6)
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LOCATING DRAPES AND FURNITURE
NEAR LINEAR CONVECTORS (FIGURE 7)
CAUTION:
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:
Full Length Drapes:1. 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
least 3” (7.6 cm) between the front vertical surface of the heater and the near-
Shorter Length Drapes:2. 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 7B)
Furniture:3. Place furniture no closer than 3” (7.62 cm) from the front of the
Linear Convector. (Figure 7C)
Overhanging Solid Objects: 4. Position Linear Convector so there is at least
14” (35.6 cm) between the top of the heater and any solid object that obstructs
CAUTION:
higher air outlet temperatures than conventional baseboard heaters. Some vinyl
blinds and vinyl window trims may deform if installed within 20” above 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.
FACTORY WIRING OF THE LINEAR CONVECTOR
convector. The lead wires at either end are factory spliced with wire nuts as a
closed circuit. The circuit may be opened at either wire nut connection to make
connections to the power supply and/or to the desired controls. (See Wiring
Diagrams)
CONTROLS (not included)
Typical Dimplex controls:
Built-in thermostat kits: DTK-SP, DTK-DP, DTKT-SP or DTKT-DP
External line voltage thermostats: TSxx or TDxx
Built-in low voltage relay: BLLVCxx or BLLVD
INSTALLATION WITH NON METALLIC CABLE TYPE NMD
1.
Remove front cover as shown at the end to be connected. Remove wire nut and
separate the baseboard leads. (Figure 1 & 3)

covering, raise linear convector accordingly. (Figure 5)
With linear convector in position, run screws through pre-selected mounting holes. 4.
Screw should be backed off 1/2 turn from snug position to allow free expansion
and contraction of housing and to insure quiet operation. (Figure 6)
INSTALLATION WITH RIGID, E.M.T. CONDUIT OR BX CABLE
Remove screw holding the end cover and remove the cover. (Figure 1)1.

baseboard in position. (Figure 6)
CONNECTING MULTIPLE LINEAR CONVECTORS TOGETHER
The linear convectors can be connected end to end to form a continuous length
of linear convector section. When units are installed end to end, join the linear
convectors to ensure ground continuity between.
Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to
Read all instructions before using this linear convector.1.
2.
This linear convector is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin 3.
touch hot surfaces. If provided, use handles when moving this linear convec-
tor. Keep combustible materials such as: furniture, pillows, bedding, papers,
clothes and curtains away from linear convector.

10. : Keep electrical cords, furniture, draperies or any
other blocking material away from the linear convector.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This linear convector must be properly installed before it is used.1.
