4. Installazione

The Stelpro SIBT2W thermostat is designed for built-in installation within compatible electric baseboard heaters. Follow these general steps for installation. For detailed wiring diagrams and specific instructions, always refer to the manual included with your product and consult a qualified electrician.

1. Scollegare l'alimentazione: Before beginning any installation, turn off the power to the heating circuit at the main electrical panel. Verify that the power is off using a voltagetester.
2. Access Heater Wiring: Open the wiring compartment of your electric baseboard heater.
3. Identificare il cablaggio: Determina il volumetage of your heater. Typically, if the wires are black and white, your heater is likely 120V. If the wires are black and red (sometimes two black or two red), your heater is likely 240V or higher. For the safest results, consider consulting a qualified electrician if you're unsure.
4. Collega il termostato: Connect the heater's load wires to the LOAD terminals on the thermostat. Connect the power supply wires to the POWER terminals on the thermostat. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
5. Montare il termostato: Secure the thermostat module within the baseboard heater's designated compartment using the provided screws.

6. Manutenzione

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Stelpro SIBT2W thermostat and connected baseboard heater, regular maintenance is recommended.

• Pulizia: At least every 6 months, or as required, turn off power to the heater at the main disconnect panel. Wait for the element to cool. Gently clean the thermostat and the heater's grill with a soft, damp panno. Non usare detergenti abrasivi o solventi.
• Ispezione: Periodically inspect the thermostat and wiring for any signs of damage, wear, or loose connections. If any issues are found, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician.
• Non lubrificare: Do not lubricate the thermostat's mechanical components or the heater's motor.

7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you experience issues with your Stelpro SIBT2W thermostat, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Nessun calore: Ensure the thermostat dial is set to a temperature above the current room temperature. Check that the power to the heater is on at the main electrical panel. Verify all wiring connections are secure.
• Riscaldamento incoerente: Ensure the thermostat is not obstructed by furniture or curtains, which can affect temperature readings. The thermostat should be located in an area with good air circulation.
• High-Temperature Safety Shutoff: All Stelpro heaters come with a built-in high-temperature safety shutoff that stops electricity flow if the heater gets too hot. If this occurs, turn off power, allow the heater to cool, and then restore power. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.
