WARNING:

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 Tyco Thermal Controls, 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 Tyco Thermal Controls-specified parts only. 

Do not use substitute parts or vinyl electrical tape.
