HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Ensure the power source is disconnected before beginning any installation or wiring. Verify that the mounting surface is clean, dry, and capable of withstanding the operating temperature of the heater.
2. Mounting: Position the Caloritech SS1391 strip heater on the desired surface. Use appropriate fasteners through the slotted mounting holes (5/8″ L x 9/32″ W) to securely attach the heater. Ensure firm contact between the heater’s base and the surface for optimal heat transfer.
3. Wiring: Connect the 120V power supply to the two offset bolt-type terminals located at one end of the heater. Use high-temperature rated wires suitable for the expected operating temperature of the application. If the voltage to ground exceeds 300V, secondary insulators must be used.
4. Control Integration (Optional): For precise temperature management, connect the strip heater to a compatible temperature control device such as a Caloritech™ CPA or CPB control panel, a mechanical thermostat, or a bi-metal thermostat installed directly on the heater surface.
5. Power Activation: Once all connections are secure and verified, restore power to the circuit. Monitor the heater’s initial operation to ensure proper function and heat output.
