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 screw.
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. Keep all wires away
from the Smart-Base circuit board. These wires may interfere with
the clock and thermostat's performance. Hook upper edge of
faceplate 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 "O" (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 baseboard heater.
Refer to the General Programming Operation Guide for the operation of the
SBFT2 thermostat.
See the "General Programming Operation" guide for complete operating instructions. The heater and thermostat must be properly installed before
they are used.
