HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Ensure the power supply is off and secured before beginning installation. Confirm the operating voltage matches the heater’s 240V requirement.
2. Mounting: Position the strip heater on the desired surface. Securely fasten the heater along its entire length using the slotted mounting holes. The terminal end should be firmly secured, allowing the opposite end some flexibility for thermal expansion.
3. Wiring: Connect the 240V power supply wires to the offset bolt-type terminals. Ensure all electrical connections are tight and follow local electrical codes. If the voltage to ground exceeds 300V, secondary insulators must be used.
4. Temperature Control (Optional): If precise temperature control is needed, install an external temperature controller. This can be a Caloritech CPA or CPB control panel, or a mechanical/bi-metal thermostat mounted to the heater’s surface.
5. Power On: Once fully installed and all connections are verified, restore power to the system to begin operation.
6. Monitoring: Monitor the heater’s performance and the temperature of the heated object or area to ensure it functions as intended.
