HOW TO USE:

1. Mounting: Securely clamp the strip heater along its entire length to a smooth, clean metal surface. Ensure the surface is flat to maximize contact for optimal heat transfer. The end without the terminals should remain slightly loose to allow for thermal expansion during operation.
2. Electrical Connection: Connect the 240V power supply to the two offset bolt-type terminals. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and conform to local electrical codes.
3. Temperature Control (Optional): For precise temperature management, integrate a separate control device. This can be a dedicated Caloritech CPA or CPB control panel, a mechanical thermostat, or a surface-mounted bi-metal thermostat.
4. Power On: Once securely mounted and wired, apply power to the heater. Monitor the initial operation to ensure proper function.
5. Safety Precautions: Always observe safety guidelines. If the voltage to ground exceeds 300V, secondary insulators must be utilized. Ensure adequate ventilation in the application area if necessary.
