HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and capable of safely withstanding the operating temperature of the heater. Verify that the power supply matches the heater’s 120V requirement.
2. Mounting: Position the strip heater on the desired surface. Secure it using appropriate #10-32 screws through the slotted mounting holes. Ensure the heater is firmly clamped to the surface for optimal heat transfer.
3. Electrical Connection: Connect the two offset bolt-type terminals of the heater to your 120V power supply. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and comply with local electrical codes. If the voltage to ground exceeds 300V, secondary insulators must be used.
4. Temperature Control (Optional): For precise temperature management, connect the heater to a compatible heating control panel (e.g., Caloritech CPA or CPB), a mechanical thermostat, or surface-mounted bi-metal thermostats.
5. Operation: Once properly installed and wired, apply power to the heater. Monitor the temperature and adjust as necessary using your chosen control method to achieve the desired heating effect.
