HOW TO USE:

1. Identify Mounting Location: Select a flat, stable surface where heat is required, ensuring adequate clearance around the heater and proper air circulation if heating air.
2. Mount the Heater: Secure the strip heater to the chosen surface using appropriate 10-32 screws through the slotted mounting holes. Ensure the heater is firmly attached to prevent movement during operation.
3. Connect Electrical Wiring: Connect the 120V power supply to the two offset bolt-type terminals on the heater. Ensure all electrical connections are made according to local electrical codes and safety guidelines. If voltage to ground exceeds 300V, secondary insulators must be used.
4. Implement Temperature Control (Optional): For precise temperature regulation, integrate a separate control device such as a Caloritech CPA or CPB control panel, a mechanical thermostat, or a bi-metal thermostat installed on the heater surface. The heater does not include an adjustable thermostat.
5. Power On: Once all connections are secure and safety checks are complete, apply power to the heater. Monitor initial operation to confirm proper function.
