Heating cable type not mentioned. Braid clip does not fit. Heating cable does not have aluminum wrap. Heating cable cannot be inserted into connector. Lid does not close. Heating cable cannot be inserted into end seal. Heating cable cannot be removed. SOLUTION The braid clips are attached to the cardboard packing insert under the lid. The braid clips must be used to ensure a ground connection. If clips are missing or lost, call nVent at (800) 545-6258. A mounting bracket is not included in the splice, tee and cross kits. One can be ordered using one of the catalog numbers listed under "Optional Accessories" on the front page of these instructions when you place your order. The bracket has two sets of attachment clips. Fold up the four outer clips for the splice kit. Fold up only the center clips for the tee and cross kits. nVent RAYCHEM RayClic connection kits are approved for use only with HWAT, XL-Trace Edge and IceStop heating cables. Do not use with other heating cables. Be sure the clip is installed on the metal braid, not on the outer jacket. Only HWAT heating cables have the aluminum wrap under the braid. Skip the aluminum wrap removal step for XL-Trace Edge and IceStop heating cables. Check for the following: · Apply cable lubricant to the heating cable primary (white) jacket. · Outer jacket strip length is 3 1/8 inches. · Braid clip is installed on top of the metal braid, not on the outer jacket. · Braid is pulled back over braid clip. · For HWAT, 1 inch of braid is removed. · Sealing nut is loose (but not removed). · Connection screws are loose. Be sure all screws are fully tightened before closing the lid. The outer jacket must be removed from the heating cable before the end seal is installed (see the "End Seal Installation" instructions on page 7). Make sure 1 inch of the outer jacket, braid, and aluminum wrap (HWAT only) are removed. The connection and end seal are designed to be installed only once; the heating cable cannot be removed once installed. Additional nVent RAYCHEM RayClic-E end seals can be ordered from nVent. 8 | nVent.com/RAYCHEM Heating Cable Circuit Testing The RayClic-T now includes test ports in the blank module. Voltage can measured at these points to confirm continuity or power to the installed heating cable circuit. For detail heating cable operation refer to the appropriate installation and operating manual. Instructions: 1. Open the RayClic cover. 2. Set multimeter to AC voltage function. 3. Insert multimeter test probes into the two test ports. WARNING: To avoid shock do not cross the test probes or touch them to the metal pressure plate when measuring voltage.
