How do I connect the STEGO Semiconductor Loop Heater to a thermostat for temperature control?

To connect a STEGO Semiconductor Loop Heater to a thermostat, follow these general installation guidelines based on standard STEGO semiconductor heater practices:

• Series Connection: The thermostat must be connected in series with the heater. The thermostat acts as a switch that opens or closes the circuit based on the ambient temperature.
• Wiring: Connect the live (L) wire from your power source to the input terminal of the thermostat. Connect the output terminal of the thermostat to one of the heater's supply leads. Connect the other heater lead to the neutral (N) wire.
• Safety: Ensure the thermostat's switching capacity (amperage) is rated for the heater's starting current, which can be higher than the nominal current in PTC heaters.
• Grounding: If the heater or enclosure is metallic, ensure proper grounding according to local electrical codes.

Note: Since specific model details were not provided, please verify the terminal markings on your specific STEGO thermostat (e.g., KTO 011 or KTS 011) and heater before proceeding. Always turn off the power supply before installation.
