King’s KBP PlatinumX BMS series unit heaters are the most full-featured unit heaters on the market, with in-built electronic thermostat for +/- 1°F accuracy and remote control for simple operation. Comes standard with a provision for adding an optional 24V thermostat for remote temperature control, making it compatible with Nest Thermostats or Building Management System Integration. Combined with summer fan-only and thermostat timer modes, the KBP PlatinumX adapts to your needs year-round.
Designed for rugged performance, the flow-through design efficiently moves air by pulling air from the back of the heater and discharges it out the front, easily heating a large space. The integral fan delay continues to dissipate heat from the elements during the cool down period, maximizing the heat exchange in the room. King’s exclusive dual Pic-A-Watt steel fin elements allow customers to select from a range of wattage options, tailoring the heater to an area’s specific heating requirements.
Upgrade by adding the optional ECO PRO Controller, which is a Remote Thermostat, featuring a 7-day programmable heating schedule that puts personalized comfort right at your fingertips. This advanced scheduling function allows users to set different heating profiles for each day of the week, aligning comfort with daily routines while optimizing energy efficiency.
The optional ECO PRO Controller is also compatible with optional wireless RF window/door and occupancy sensors, automatically setting back temperatures when windows are open or when the room is unoccupied.

Engineering Specs
Contractor shall supply and install KBP PlatinumX Series unit heaters manufactured by King Electrical Mfg. Company. Heaters shall be of the wattage and voltage as indicated on the plans.
Construction: All exterior and interior enclosure components are fabricated from 20-gauge electrogalvanized steel with a rust-inhibiting baked enamel finish. Components are assembled using solid mechanical rivets rather than spot welding, eliminating heat-affected zones and hidden weld defects. Riveted joints are fully visible and inspectable, providing consistent structural integrity under vibration and thermal cycling. Smooth rounded corners provide a clean, modern appearance.
Pic-A-Watt Heating Elements: Exclusive King multi-tap element allows field adjustment to several wattages at time of installation. Steel sheath elements of various resistance are copper brazed to steel plate fins producing a multi-wattage heating element.
PlatinumX Electronic Control: Thermostat Temperature Range: 40℉ to 95℉. Up, down temperature mode. Start/Stop. Fan Only and Timer (1-9 hours) Modes. Standard on all heaters.
Provision For 24V Remote Thermostat: Includes terminals to connect an optional 24V Thermostat or BMS system. Compatible with NEST / any 24V WIFI Stat / 5-Wire BMS Systems.
Auto Memory Feature: Returns Unit To Last Settings After Power Outage.
Adjustable Outlet Louver: Louvers direct air up or down as needed for the heating application. Rear Intake Screen: Heavy gauge steel screen protects against foreign objects making accidental contact with the rotating fan blade.
Rear Intake Screen: Heavy gauge steel screen protects against foreign objects making accidental contact with the rotating fan blade.
Unit Bearing Motor: Permanently lubricated, long life, unit bearing 4-Pole motor with 20 cc of oil. Enclosed rotor provides long-lasting, trouble-free operation. Thermally protected. 1500 RPM.
Aluminum Fan Blade: 5 blade fan mounted directly to the motor shaft for maximum efficiency.
CFM: 385
Universal Mounting Bracket: Combination ceiling/wall bracket is included with every heater.
Patented Smart Limit Protection (U.S. Patent #6,748,163 B2): Equipped with King’s patented thermal overload Smart Limit Protection®, which disconnects elements and motor in the event normal operating temperatures are exceeded. If thermal overload trips due to abnormal operating temperatures, thermal overload shall remain open until manually reset by turning the heater off for 15 minutes. Automatically reset of thermal overloads, which allow the element to continue to cycle under abnormal conditions, will not be accepted.
Fan Delay: The fan continues to operate after the thermostat shuts off in order to remove the residual heat left in the elements. Power must not be interrupted.
Standard Color: Onyx Gray
Easy Installation: A hinged quick access panel located on the bottom of the heater allows for quick wiring and easy maintenance for the life of the heater. Includes universal wall/ceiling bracket for simple installation.
Approvals: cULus (E41422)
