WARNING:
CAUTION:
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 of 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.
• Component approvals and performance are based
on the use of nVent-specified parts only. Do not use
substitute parts or vinyl electrical tape.
• The black heating cable core and fibers are conductive
and can short. They must be properly insulated and
kept dry.
• Damaged bus wires can overheat or short. Do not break
bus wire strands when scoring the jacket or core.
• Keep components and heating cable ends dry before
and during installation.
• Use only fire-resistant insulation materials, such as
fiberglass wrap and flame-retardant foam.
HEALTH HAZARD
: Prolonged or repeated contact with
the sealant in the core sealer may cause skin irritation.
Wash hands thoroughly. Overheating or burning the
sealant will produce fumes that may cause polymer fume
fever. Avoid contamination of cigarettes or tobacco.
Consult MSDS VEN 0058 for further information.
