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.
