HEATER WIRING
INSTALLATION
Caution! Please read carefully
before beginning installation.
1. Never power up the heater if
there is no fuel in the Racor
filter,
severe damage
may
result to the heater and filter
assembly.
2. During equipment or vehicle
servicing, always ensure
power to the Racor heater is
turned off. We recommend
the installation of a customer-
supplied power control switch
(see electrical schematic).
3. Check contaminant collection
bowl daily for accumulated
water. Water is heavier than
diesel fuel and will fall to the
bottom of the bowl. Drain
water before the level reaches
the bottom of the turbine
centrifuge. Do not allow water
to rise to the level of the
heater.
4. Ensure wiring installation
diagram is closely followed
and the proper safety fuse
is used. If a fuse should fail,
determine the cause and
correct it before installing a
new fuse and using the heater
again.
5. Exterior wiring connections
should be soldered, crimped
and sealed for protection
against shorting.
6. Route wires in protected
locations, away from hot
or moving surfaces and
places that could expose
them to chemical contact or
environmental debris.
7. Inspect all wiring and
connections for unsafe
conditions annually or every
12,000 miles, whichever
occurs first.
8. Study the wiring illustration of
your system before starting.
Due to the power consumption
of the heater (12 vdc = 8.3
amps, 24 vdc = 4.2 amps)
an external relay is required.
Racor offers relay kits for this
application; refer to the Heater
Relay Kit Selection Guide,
below. Racor Relay kits include
instructions on how to attach
them to the Racor heater.
