HOW TO USE:

1. Safety First: Before installation, ensure the power supply to the intended application is disconnected. Verify that the voltage and wattage of the SS1061 match your system’s requirements.
2. Mounting: Securely mount the strip heater to the desired surface using the slotted mounting holes. Use #10-32 screws to ensure a firm attachment. Ensure proper contact for efficient heat transfer if surface heating.
3. Electrical Connection: Connect the 120V AC power supply to the two offset bolt-type terminals. Follow all local electrical codes and best practices. If the voltage to ground exceeds 300V, secondary insulators must be used.
4. Temperature Control (Optional): For applications requiring specific temperature regulation, integrate a suitable control device. This can be a Caloritech CPA or CPB control panel, a mechanical thermostat, or a bi-metal thermostat installed on the heater surface.
5. Power On and Monitor: Once installed and wired correctly, restore power to the system. Monitor the heater’s initial operation to ensure it is functioning as expected and reaching the desired temperature.
