Install Instructions

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE HEAT SHRINK FROM THE CABLE
AS DAMAGE TO THE CABLE MAY RESULT. If desired, the cord can
be cut at either end of the shrink sleeve. Complete associated plumbing
connections.
8. Check Cable
Plug the cable into a 120 VAC outlet to ensure that the cable was not
damaged during installation; the cable should feel warm within one minute
of being energized. Once the cable warmth is detected, unplug the cable
and proceed with installation.
9. Connect T-coupling
Connect the T-coupling to the pipe and complete all plumbing connections,
ensuring that the cable inside the pipe does not touch, cross, or overlap
itself at any point inside the water pipe.
10. Check Cable
It is recommended that the continuity of the cable be tested at this time
to ensure that the cable was not damaged during the completion of the
plumbing connections. Do not plug in the cable in anticipation of sensing
the warming of the piping, as this could take a signicant amount of time
and may not even be noticeable, depending on the weather conditions,
pipe insulation, etc.
Installing the Power Control Enclosure
1. Mount
Mount the power control enclosure in a suitable location as noted in
“Preparation for Installation of Heating Cable” above. Using nylon tie wraps
supplied with the heating cable, attach the thermostat sensor to the pipe.
If this section of pipe is insulated, it is important that the sensor be placed
directly on the pipe and then covered by the insulation.
2. Pressurize
The water supply system should then be returned to normal operation and
all pipes completely lled with water. The power control enclosure can then
be plugged into a properly grounded electrical receptacle.
3. Energize
Plug the heating cable into the receptacle on the power control enclosure
and turn the thermostat control knob to the maximum setting.
4. Adjust
If you are certain that the thermostat sensor was located at the coldest
point of the piping, then set the thermostat temperature control knob to the
minimum setpoint. Otherwise, it is advisable to increase the thermostat
setting somewhat above the minimum setpoint.
