DESCRIPTION

These instructions describe field connecting of TraceTek 

TT7000-HUV Bulk Sensing Cable.
For technical support call nVent at (800) 545-6258.

TOOLS REQUIRED

•  nVent RAYCHEM TraceTek TT-ULTRA-TORCH (PN 390067-000) 

flameless heating tool (Ultratorch 200) or suitable heat gun 

with concentrator tip.

•  Greenlee stripper (1918) or equivalent for 26 AWG and 28 AWG wire
•  High impedance ohmmeter (Fluke 87 or equivalent; meter 

must be capable of measuring to at least 20 megohms)

•  Needle nose pliers
•  Razor blade or utility knife
•  Small pair of wire cutters
•  3/4 inch masking tape
•  Butane lighter
•  Permanent ink marker
•  nVent RAYCHEM TraceTek TT-CT-SCT crimp tool  

(PN 644333-000)

NOTES

•  The pin connector should always be installed on the cable end 

going to the alarm module.

•  Use with TT7000 sensing cable only. This kit is not compatible 

with other TraceTek sensing cables.

FIRE HAZARD. Heat guns and flameless heating 

tools can cause fire or explosion in hazardous 

areas. Be sure there are no flammable materials 

or vapors in the area before using these tools. 

Follow all site safety guidelines when working in 

hazardous areas.

Component approvals and performance are based 

on the use of specified parts only.

HEALTH HAZARD. Overheating heat-shrinkable 

tubing or SolderSleeves will produce fumes that 

may cause irritation. Use adequate ventilation and 

avoid charring or burning. Consult MSDS RAY3122 

and RAY5103 for further information.
