HotPod™ Installation
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
• FOLLOW ALL STATE AND LOCAL CODES.
• E
ACH HOTPOD™ MUST BE SUPPLIED WITH A DEDICATED 15-AMP
120-VOLT AC CIRCUIT. USE 14 GA. COPPER WIRE MINIMUM.
• F
OR INDOOR USE ONLY WITH 6" ROUND DUCTWORK.
• M
INIMUM SPACE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL - 1" (2.5 CM).
CHOOSE LOCATION (FIGURE 1)
1. Install HotPod™ in horizontal position ONLY.
2. Select a 14" (35.6 cm) section of duct that is a MINIMUM of 4
feet (122 cm) from outlet register.
• Select section so that you can insert male crimped end into
inlet side of the HotPod™.
• Discharge end must point toward outlet register (
arrows
show air flow direction).
• Position wiring enclosure to allow permanent access to the
wiring compartment.
INSTALL HOTPOD™
1. Remove 14" (35.6 cm) section of duct.
FOR RIGID METAL DUCT
• Crimp ends of the duct as needed to provide male ends
for insertion into the HotPod™.
• Fasten with a minimum of 3 sheet metal screws at both
ends and within 1.5" (3.8 cm) of the end of the housing.
FOR FLEXIBLE DUCT
• Attach flexible duct directly to HotPod™ housing using
approved connection methods.
2. Support HotPod
™ on both ends with duct hangers or
perforated straps. Vibration reduction is recommended.
WARNING
REMOVE POWER FROM 120 VAC CIRCUIT SELECTED.
D
O NOT ENERGIZE CIRCUIT UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS ARE MADE AND
H
OTPOD™ WIRING ENCLOSURE IS CLOSED AFTER INSTALLATION.
FOR 1440-WATT OUTPUT (5,000 B.T.U.) FIGURE 2
IMPORTANT: To avoid short cycling, please try it at 720 watts
first. (Figure 3)
1. Remove wiring cover. Following all local codes, connect 120
VAC, 15 amp dedicated circuit. Provide strain relief for all
wiring.
A. Black/hot wire to “L1 in” terminal.
B. White/neutral wire to “NEUTL.” terminal. Be sure Brown
and White HotPod™ wires are on “HEATER NEUTL.”
C. Green or ground wire to green housing ground screw.
2. Connect thermostat wire to circuit board.
D. Red/hot wire to “R” terminal.
E. White/heating wire to “W” terminal.
F. Yellow or green, cooling/fan wire to “Y/G” terminal.
G. Blue/common wire to “C” terminal when
applicable.
A. Cut out 14" (35.6 cm)
B. MINIMUM 4 ft (122 cm)
from outlet register
C. Wiring cover
D. Fasten w/ 3
sheet metal
screws both ends
E. Insert male crimped end
F. IMPORTANT: 1" (2.5 cm)
from combustible material
G. Crimp the cut end
H. Add vibration-damped
supports at both ends

3. Attach 120 VAC and thermostat wires as shown in Figure 2.
In addition move the Brown HotPod™ wire:
A. Loosen “HEATER NEUTL” terminal; remove Brown wire;
re-tighten terminal.
B. Fasten Brown wire to “SPARE” terminal.
TEST
1. Apply power to the 120 VAC circuit.
2. Turn room thermostat to maximum heat. Check for
HotPod™ Fan and Heater operation.
• If there is no heat output at the outlet register, remove the
120 VAC power immediately. Re-check all connections in
the HotPod electrical enclosure.
• Have a qualified electrician use volt-ohmmeter to check
voltage supply from 120 VAC circuit.
Note: You may notice a slight odor the first time you use HotPod™.
This is normal as the heat oxidizes coatings used to protect metal
surfaces. Odor will dissipate after several uses.
INSTALL WIRING
Install a 24-VAC heating and cooling thermostat.
• Place thermostat in the designated room on wall opposite
from outlet register.
• Follow thermostat manufacturer’s instructions.
Use 4-strand thermostat wire, 20ga. minimum.
