INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
-
Locate bus connection (HPT and FP only) and cable as shown.
Cut end of cable at angle to aid in piercing grommet.
Leave additional cable for expansion loop. -
Insert cable into expediter. If mounted on bottom of pipe, punch out weep hole.
Note: For HPT and FP cable, exchange grommet in Terminator with GRW-G provided in PETK-3. -
Slide expediter toward pipe and route cable through support base entry.
-
Insert banding guide into expediter and snap into place.
-
Mount expediter to pipe using pipe band. Do not band over cable.
-
Cut off end of cable.
-
Terminate cable with appropriate SCTK termination kit.
Refer to SCTK installation instructions.
Push excess cable back through expediter.
Remove braid pigtail.
Tape cable expansion loop to pipe.
-
When using wire crimp: Connect heating cable to light module wires using small crimps.
Discard large crimp.
See steps 8–11.
When using terminal block: See steps 12–14. See wiring schematic for connection details.
Wiring Schematic for LED Light.
-
Snap on crimp insulators.
-
Slide silicone caps over crimp insulators.
Install Light Module to Expediter.
-
Arrange crimped leads to fit inside light module base.
Slide the light module cover over light module.
-
When using SCTK-TB Connection Kit, first trim exposed bus wires of the LED pigtail to 8 mm (.32″), then connect to the terminal block.
-
Use the terminal block mounting screw to mount terminal block to the LED light module.
Bend each pigtail lead around the sides of the terminal block.
-
Connect the bus wires of the trace heater to the terminal block.
-
Engage threads.
Rotate light module cover clockwise and tighten cap securely.
Make sure latch mechanism is in the locked position.
-
To remove cap, de-energize circuit, lift latch mechanism, and unscrew cap.
