HOW TO USE:

1. Mounting: Securely attach the strip heater to the desired surface using the integrated slotted mounting holes. Ensure the surface is flat and can withstand the operating temperatures.
2. Wiring: Connect the heater to a 240V power source via the two offset bolt-type terminals. Use appropriate gauge wiring and ensure all connections are tight and secure. For voltages to ground exceeding 300V, employ secondary insulators.
3. Temperature Control (Optional): While the heater operates without an integrated thermostat, for precise temperature regulation, connect it to an external control device such as a mechanical thermostat, a bi-metal thermostat mounted on the heater surface, or a dedicated heating control panel (e.g., Caloritech™ CPA or CPB series).
4. Power On: Once all connections are confirmed and safety measures are in place, apply power to the heater circuit.
5. Monitoring: Monitor the heating process as needed, especially during initial operation, to ensure optimal performance and temperature achievement for your specific application.
