HOW TO USE:

1. Safety First: Before installation, ensure that the power supply is completely disconnected to prevent electrical shock. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
2. Mounting: Identify the desired mounting location. Align the heater’s slotted mounting holes with the surface and secure it using appropriate fasteners. Ensure the mounting allows for thermal expansion of the heater during operation.
3. Wiring: Connect the heater’s two bolt-type terminals to the 120V power supply according to local electrical codes. Use wire with an insulation jacket rated for high temperatures. Ensure all connections are tight and secure to minimize resistance. If the voltage to ground exceeds 277V, use secondary insulators (SA1014 and SA1024 bushings) on the terminals.
4. Temperature Control (Optional): If precise temperature control is required, integrate a Caloritech CPA or CPB control panel (sold separately) into the system. Follow the control panel’s instructions for wiring and calibration.
5. Protection: Ensure the heater is protected from moisture, contaminants, and corrosive substances, as it is not sealed against these elements.
6. Power On: Once all connections are secure and safety checks are complete, restore power to the system. Monitor the heater’s initial operation to ensure it functions as expected.
