100 Watt Heater Kits
RK15438-01 (12 VDC) and RK15438-02 (24 VDC)
For 500FG Turbine Filters
Instruction Part Number 11-2022 Rev A
Please read and understand all
instructions prior to installation.
The in-filter heater is a cold
weather starting aid with an
internal automatic thermostat that
turns the heater ON when the fuel
temperature drops below 50°F
(10°C) and turns OFF when the
fuel reaches 80°F (27°C). Heat
is supplied in the filter assembly
just below the replacement filter
to melt wax crystals and allow
fuel to pass through the filter for
quick, easy starting. The 100 watt
heater is operated by turning the
ignition switch ON for a minimum
of five minutes prior to starting the
engine.
Note: Racor electrical options
are for use with diesel
applications only.
As of August 2013, all 500FG
Turbine Series heaters are
equipped with a thermal
cut-off (TCO) fuse. This is a
running change.
Thermal cut-offs provide protection
against overheating conditions,
which could lead to fuel filter
component damage.
Additionally, a green heat insulator
pad has been secured to the
heater disc top surface to provide
additional protection and heat
transfer to the filter. Caution!
Do not attempt to remove the
insulator as it is riveted to the
heater disc. Note—some color
transfer to the bottom filter cap is
normal.
