Baseboard/Thermostat Wiring
Thermostat in left junction box: (Figure A)
1. Locate and cut closed end splice of wires containing limit lead wire
and return wire (wire behind deflector). Strip 1/2" of insulation from
these two cut lead wires.
a. Join the lead wire from the limit with the lead wire from
thermostat terminal J5L2 with a connector.
b. Join the return wire (wire behind deflector) with the lead
wire from thermostat terminal J1T1 with a connector.
2. Connect the grounding lead of the power supply to the supplied
grounding pigtail (copper wire attached to case in junction box) with a
connector.
3. Connect each of the remaining two power supply leads to each lead
from the thermostat rocker switch with a wire connector.
a. Be sure the panel does not interfere with the mounting of
the thermostat plate. Move panel if needed. (Using a rubber-
coated tool, or hammer handle; carefully pry upwards.)
4. Carefully push wiring back into junction box, hook upper edge of face-
plate under lip of case. Lower bottom edge of faceplate to junction
box surface and secure thermostat with mounting screw.
5. Rocker switch should be placed in the “0” (OFF) position. To finish see
the “Completion of Installation” section below.
Thermostat in right junction box: (Figure B)
1. Cut closed end splice from connection of element lead wire and
return wire (wire behind deflector). Strip 1/2" of insulation from these
two cut lead wires.
a. Join the lead wire from the element with the lead wire
from thermostat terminal J5L2 with a connector.
b. Join the return wire (wire behind deflector) with the lead
wire from thermostat terminal J1T1 with a connector.
2. Connect the grounding lead of the power supply to the supplied
grounding pigtail (copper wire attached to case in junction box) with
a connector.
3. Connect each of the remaining two power supply leads to each lead
from the thermostat rocker switch with a wire connector.
a. Be sure the panel does not interfere with the mounting of
the thermostat plate. Move panel if needed. (Using a rub-
ber-coated tool, or hammer handle; carefully pry
upwards.)
4. Carefully push wiring back into junction box, hook upper edge of
faceplate under lip of case. Lower bottom edge of faceplate to junc-
tion box surface and secure thermostat with mounting screw.
5. Rocker switch should be placed in the “0” (OFF) position. To finish see
the “Completion of Installation” section below.

Completion of Installation
At this point, the baseboard should be securely mounted, and the SBFT2
thermostat wired and secured to the baseboard junction box. The other
junction box should have the baseboard end plate/cover secured in place.
Verify that the thermostat rocker switch is in the “O” (OFF) position before
reestablishing the electrical power at the panel for power flow to the base-
board heater.
Refer to the programming guide for the operation of the SBFT2 thermostat.
