HOW TO USE:

1. Safety First: Before beginning installation, ensure that the power supply to the intended installation area is completely disconnected and locked out. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
2. Mounting: Position the strip heater in the desired location, ensuring proper clearance from surrounding materials. Use appropriate fasteners through the slotted mounting holes to securely attach the heater to the surface.
3. Electrical Connection: Connect the two offset bolt-type terminals of the heater to your 240V power source. Ensure all electrical connections are tight and meet local electrical codes. For applications where voltage to ground exceeds 300V, secondary insulators must be used.
4. Temperature Control (Optional): If precise temperature control is required, integrate a compatible external control panel, such as a Caloritech CPA or CPB unit (sold separately), into your electrical circuit. Follow the control panel’s instructions for wiring and programming.
5. Power On and Test: Once installation is complete and all connections are verified, safely restore power to the circuit. Monitor the heater’s initial operation to ensure it is heating as expected.
