HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and capable of withstanding the operating temperatures. Confirm that the power supply matches the heater’s voltage (240V).
2. Mounting: Align the strip heater with the desired mounting location. Secure the heater firmly using appropriate fasteners through the slotted mounting holes. Ensure proper clearance as needed for the application.
3. Electrical Connection: Connect the 240V power supply to the two offset bolt-type terminals at one end of the heater. All electrical connections should be performed by a qualified electrician and comply with local electrical codes. For applications where voltage to ground exceeds 300V, secondary insulators must be used.
4. Temperature Control (Optional): If precise temperature control is required, install a separate temperature control device such as a bi-metal thermostat on the heater’s surface or integrate with a Caloritech CPA or CPB control panel (purchased separately).
5. Operation: Once secured and wired, energize the power supply to activate the heater. Monitor the initial operation to ensure proper function and desired heat output.
6. Maintenance: Periodically inspect the heater for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Ensure the mounting remains secure and the area around the heater is clear of obstructions.
