Power Connection Installation for XL-Trace Edge -CR and -CT, and RaySol Heating Cables
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.
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.
