Rain Collector Heater

For Vantage Pro Rain Collectors, secure the heater assembly to the Rain Col-
lector base using two #4 x 3/8 self-tapping screws, as shown below

7. Using wire strippers or a knife, strip 3/8” (10 mm) of insulation from the heater cable

wires.

8. If you have a Vantage Pro Rain Collector, use a medium size Phillips-head screwdriver

to knock out the hole for the heater’s power cable.

9. Pass the heater cable wires up through the cable hole you just drilled (non-Vantage

Pro Rain Collector) or knocked out (Vantage Pro Rain Collector).

10. If using the provided cable, twist the Red & White wires together to create a single

wire and twist the two Black wires together to create a single wire.

The bare wire may simply be cut off.
