5. For strain relief, attach the self-adhesive mounting pad to the wall of the shelter
and use a cable tie to secure the heater cable, as shown below.
Routing the Cables
Route the heater cable to the location at which you plan to plug in the wall
transformer/power unit. To prevent fraying or cutting of the cable where it is
exposed to weather, it is very important that you secure it so it doesn't whip
about in the wind. Use cable clips or weather resistant cable ties to secure the
cable outside the shelter. Place clips or ties approximately every 3 to 5 feet
(1 to 1.6 m). Do not use metal staples or a staple gun to secure cables. Metal sta-
ples—especially when installed with a staple gun—have a tendency to cut the
cables.
Note: If your cable run extends more than 50 feet (15 m), keep the heater cable and any signal
cable separated by at least a few inches, as discussed in "Choosing Cable for the Heater"
on page 4.
Attaching Cable to Power Unit
1. Remove the base of the power unit by removing the four screws in the base.
2. Loosen the screw heads on the terminal block.
You will eventually secure the heater cable wires underneath these screw
heads.
3. Using wire strippers or a knife, strip 3/8" (10 mm) of insulation from the heater
cable wires.
4. Feed the cable through the hole in the power unit.
5. If using the provided cable, twist the Red & White wires together to create a
single wire and twist the two Black wires together to create a single wire.
The bare wire may simply be cut off or connected to ground if you wish to
make use of the shield in the cable.
