Connect Power Wires

1. Match and connect the

two wires marked “LINE1” and

“LINE2” to the power supply

wires using the wire nuts

provided.

2. Gently tug on the wires to

make sure they are secure,

otherwise a wire could loosen

and cause failure.

3. Overwrap the wire nuts with

electrical tape to better secure

them to the wires.

4. Match and connect the two

wires marked “LOAD1” and

“LOAD2” to the floor warming

system lead wires and secure

these wires the same way.

5. Connect the house ground wire to the green lead wire(s) of your floor

warming system.

CAUTION:

Before continuing, make sure your power supply voltage matches

the voltage rating of your floor warming system.

Connecting 240V to a 120V floor warming system will cause overheating

and damage to the system and may damage the control, other wiring, floor

coverings, etc.

29053V1 Owner’s Manual

Your new Infloor

Relay is designed to control the voltage to either a

120VAC or 240VAC resistive floor warming system. It must be driven by a

Infloor thermostat to operate.

Please follow this manual for complete installation and operation instructions.

If you have any questions or comments, try calling Technical Support at

1-800-608-0562.

Make sure you are qualified and are familiar with house wiring. This is a

line voltage device that could cause serious injury or damage if improperly

installed.

Part# 29053

1. Preparation

1. Unpack your Relay and make sure everything is in good condition:

Relay

Small screwdriver

Mounting screws

Wire nuts for wiring connections

If any parts are missing or damaged, contact the store where you purchased

this relay. Do not install a damaged part.

2. Gather the following tools and supplies:

•Phillips screwdriver, hole saw

•Wire strippers, “fish tape”, other electrical tools

•Electrical box for relay:

a. If you are connecting to power leads from only 1 or 2 floor warming

systems, you may use a single-gang, 3

1

2

inch deep box.

b. If you are connecting to power leads from 2 or 3 floor warming systems,

use a 4x4x2

1

8

inch or deeper box (not a 2-gang box) when your wall studs

are still exposed. Install a single-gang “mud-ring” cover on the box before

installing drywall materials.

c. For more than 3 floor warming systems or other layouts, you may need

to install a junction box. See the installation instructions for your floor

warming system for more information.

ALWAYS

: Wire all circuits as Class 1, Electric Light and Power Circuits.

ALWAYS

: Wire all circuits with insulation rated 600V minimum.

ALWAYS

: Mount this control only to a grounded metallic box or a

nonmetallic box.

ALWAYS

: Use power supply wires suitable for at least 90°C.

CAUTION

: High voltage – disconnect power supply before servicing.

2. Installation

Remove the Thermostat Face

1. Remove the Front Module from the

Power Module by opening the door and

loosening the screw.

2. Pull outward near the bottom on the

Front Module and lift off.

Prepare the Wiring

1. Find a location for your Relay. It is

suitable for indoor use only, on insulated or

uninsulated walls. Normally it works best at about 4

1

2

feet to 5 feet above the

floor on an inside wall. However, you may place it in any area where airflow is

not restricted, such as a large utility closet. Avoid placing it inside a cabinet

or closet that can confine heat. Avoid placing it near other heat sources such

as hot-water piping, heat duct, wall-mount lighting, and direct sunlight to help

prevent adversely affecting the control.

2. Turn off the power to the floor warming system at the main circuit panel

before doing any electrical work.

3. A qualified electrician should run a dedicated circuit from the main circuit

panel to the control location.

4. If a dedicated circuit is not possible, you may tap from another circuit in the

room. Make sure there is enough load capacity (amps) to handle the addition

of your floor warming system, and that it is NOT wired in series with any other

device, including other GFCIs.

Connect Signal Wires From Thermostat

1. Pull 2-conductor wire, size 18- to 24-gage, through the wall from the

Infloor thermostat into this electrical box.

2. Connect the wire ends into the “RELIN” terminals(2 and 5) and tighten the

screws (observe polarity). See diagram below.

Connect Signal Wires to Other Infloor

Relays

You may drive up to 10 Infloor

Relays with one master Infloor

thermostat.

1. Connect 2-conductor wire, size 18- to 24-gage, into the “RELOUT”

terminals(3 and 4) of the first Relay.

2. Pull this wire through the wall to the next Relay and connect to its “RELIN”

terminals(2 and 5).

3. Repeat this process for additional Infloor

Relays.

5. The circuit breaker in the main circuit panel should be 15 amps maximum

for a floor warming system totaling 12 amps or less. For larger systems up to

15 amps, use a 20 amp maximum circuit breaker. Never exceed 15 amps on

this thermostat..

6. Pull the power supply wiring into this box, leaving about 6 inches of wire.

7. Pull the power lead wires from your floor warming system up the wall, into

this box.

8. Mount the electrical box.
