WARNING:
This component is an electrical device that must be installed correctly to ensure proper operation and to prevent shock or fire. Read these important warnings and carefully follow all the installation instructions.
- To minimize the danger of fire from sustained electrical arcing if the heating cable is damaged or improperly installed, and to comply with the requirements of nVent agency certifications, and national electrical codes, ground fault equipment protection must be used. Arcing may not be stopped by conventional circuit breakers.
- Bus wires will short if they contact each other.
Keep bus wires separated. - Keep components and heating cable ends dry before and during installation.
- The black heating cable core is conductive and can short. It must be properly insulated and kept dry.
- Component approvals and performance are based on the use of nVent–specified parts only. Do not use substitute parts or vinyl electrical tape.
- Leave these instructions with end user for reference and future use.
CAUTION:
Health Hazard: Overheating heat-shrinkable tubes will produce fumes that may cause irritation.
Use adequate ventilation and avoid charring or burning. Consult MSDS RAY3122 for further information.
