Product Overview

The K702E-2 and K701 E-B SimplStat series thermostats are designed to provide the highest level of accurate temperature control for residential line voltage electric heating in 208/240 VAC I (120/208/240 VAC K701 E-B model only). Almost all electric heaters installed as original equipment in a residential application will be 208 or 240 Volts. It is very rare that a home, apartment, or condominium would be wired with all 120 Volt heaters. Check your voltage to make sure you have the right thermostat for your heater voltage. A 2-pole, or double wide circuit breaker, at the panel, would indicate you should use the 240 Volt model. A single pole, or single wide breaker, would indicate a 120 Volt circuit. There are some exceptions to this rule, so checking with a voltmeter is the only way to know for sure.

Be safe and smart, electricity can cause severe injury or death
