RF Power/Load Center.
Install RL-LX in accordance with instructions provided, and plug onto circuit board at the EHTR relay socket.
The relay is capable of controlling an electric heater (rated up to 3KVA), or the magnetic contactor of a larger electric
heater.
Inside the heater , connect two 14 AWG wires in series with the heater thermostat circuitry. Place the heater toggle
switch in the “ON” position, and set the thermostat to the desired temperature.
Run the two wires to the high-voltage compartment of the LX-100 RF Power/Load Center, and connect to LINE1 and
LOAD1 terminals of the electric heater relay.
