HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Ensure the power source is off and locked out. Verify that the voltage of the heater (120V) matches the available power supply.
2. Mounting: Position the Caloritech SS1101 strip heater on the desired surface. Use the factory-punched mounting tabs and appropriate fasteners (e.g., #10-32 screws) to securely clamp the heater in place. Ensure proper clearance from other components as per application requirements.
3. Wiring: Connect the two offset bolt-type terminals of the heater to your power supply wiring. Use appropriate high-temperature wiring and electrical connectors. All wiring should be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes and safety standards.
4. Temperature Control (Optional): If temperature control is desired, integrate a compatible control device such as a Caloritech CPA or CPB control panel, a mechanical thermostat, or bi-metal thermostats. Install these control components as per their specific instructions, ensuring they are correctly calibrated for your application.
5. Power Activation and Testing: Once mounting and wiring are complete and verified, restore power to the system. Monitor the heater’s initial operation to ensure it is heating correctly and that any temperature control devices are functioning as intended.
