4. Insulate the connector by snapping an insulator in place over it.
5. Repeat for all of the heating panel sets.
PART 4 - INSPECTION / TESTING / COMPLETION
A visual and electrical check must be performed on the heating panels
prior to activation.
VISUAL INSPECTION
When visually checking the panels, look for any signs of damage, wear
or scratching that might have occurred during installation. If any por-
tions of a panel set appear damaged, replace the entire panel set.
ELECTRICAL TEST
A resistance check across the supply leads using an accurate ohm
meter must be made to detect any short or open circuits — record the
resistance readings. If only one type of panel has been used within an
area, use the resistance chart in the operating manual to determine
the acceptable readings. If more than one type of panel has been used
in the area, use the following formulae to determine the acceptable
resistance values:
120 Volt Panels 240 Volt Panels
15,840 63,360
high resistance limit =
installed watts installed watts
13,680 54,720
low resistance limit =
installed watts installed watts
To determine the total installed watts, multiply the number of individ-
ual heating panels by the wattage per panel for each type of panel.

If any connectors
must be replaced,
ensure that the heat-
ing panel has not
been damaged by
removing the original
connector. If it has,
then the entire panel
set must be replaced.

Any connectors which
are removed must be
replaced. A connector
may only be crimped
once.
