MAINTENANCE

INSPECTING THE CABLE

SEASONAL PRECAUTIONS

At the beginning of the heating season and monthly during operation, inspect the

heating cable and its connection to the electric power source. Remove any unit

that has been cut, damaged, immersed in water, shows any evidence of charring or

cracking or has deteriorated for any reason. Other conditions to look for are chewing

by animals, debris thrown from a lawnmower or any physical damage. This cable

does not contain any serviceable parts.

The heating cable may remain on the pipe all year round, but we recommend

always turning off or disconnecting the power at the end of the season when air

temperatures remain above 10°C (50°F). The temperature sensor turns the heating

cable on when exposed to temperatures below 3°C (37.4°F). It will shut the heating

cable off when the pipe has been heated to a temperature of approximately 10°C

(50°F).

If after reading the following instructions, you still have questions regarding the installation

or operation of this heating cable, contact °STELPRO customer service.
