WARNING:
These components are electrical devices. They must be installed correctly to
ensure proper operation and to prevent shock or fire. Carefully follow all of
the installation instructions and read these important warnings.
• To minimize the danger of fire from sustained e lectrical arcing if the
heating cable is damaged or improperly installed, and to comply with the
requirements of Pentair Thermal Management and national electrical codes,
ground-fault equipment protection must be used on each heating cable
branch circuit. Arcing may not be stopped by conventional circuit protection.
• Component approvals and performance are based on the use of specified
parts only. Do not substitute parts or use vinyl electrical tape.
• The black heating-cable core is conductive and can short. It must be
properly insulated and kept dry.

-ws
• Keep components and heating cable ends dry before and during
installation.
• Damaged bus wires can overheat or short. Do not break braid or bus wire
strands when scoring the jacket or core.
• Bus wires will short if they contact each other. Keep bus wires separated.
• Heat-damaged components can short. Use a heat gun or a torch with a
soft, yellow, low-heat flame, not a blue focused flame. Keep the flame
moving to avoid overheating, blistering, or charring the heat-shrinkable
tubes. Avoid heating other components. Replace any damaged parts.
• Use only fire-resistant insulation materials such as fiberglass wrap.
• Leave these installation instructions with the user for future reference.
