3.0 Installation and commissioning.
3.1 General
Remove the BaseTherm from the packaging and inspect it for signs of damage. Check that you
have the correct type/ model.
3.2 Positioning the thermostat
You must take the following into account when determining a suitable position for mounting the
BaseTherm.
– The BaseTherm is equipped with an internal room temperature sensor and must therefore be
placed in the room that requires heating.
– We recommend mounting the BaseTherm at a height of ±1.5m from the floor.
– Do not position it directly in the air stream from the heater(s)
– Do not mount it on a cold external/internal wall
– Position it in a draught-free area
3.3 Wiring.
We advise always using shielded cable for the wiring.
The shielding should be earthed to the appliance.
Refer to chart [1] for the maximum length and diameter.
Choice of bus cable:
The bus cable must comply with specific type shown for the country in question and the values in

3.4 Mounting and installation.
The following points must be taken into account when connecting the BaseTherm to the air
heater(s):
– Check that the voltage supply has been switched off. If this is not the case, the voltage supply
must be switched off first before you proceed further. When switching off the voltage supply
of the appliance to which connection is to be made, you should also refer to the technical
documentation/operating instructions for the appliance in question.
