 DUO INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Mounting Assembly
1.a. Pipe Mount i. Inspect grommet for defects and debris. If covered in debris or powder, use a light cleaning agent and rag to remove it. Rinse and fully dry before continuing. Verify cable gland model matches heat trace gland model per Appendix A.  ii. Locate bus connection (HPT and FP only) and cable as shown.
iii. Cut the end of the cable at an angle to aid in piercing grommet. iv. Run the heat trace cable through the bottom of the expediter base (pipe mount). Take care while feeding the heat trace cables through the expediter guide rails to ensure no twisting occurs. v. Pierce the heat trace cable’s edge (cut) through the grommet to make sure it passes through one of the holes in the grommet.
Notes:

  1. The heat trace cables can also be routed through the pre-drilled holes on the sides of the Duo.
  2. Some of the images shown in this guide might make use of an older version of the pipe mount expediter. Please refer Pipe Mount expediter assembly portion in Receiving, Storing and Handling for the details on the latest expediter.

The installation steps remain the same.
vi. Repeat steps ii and iii for the second heat trace cable if you are configuring two circuits.THERMON PN50890 Dual Point Control and Monitoring
Solution - Heat trace Tip: For ease of wiring, recommend running heat trace cables through corner holes and RTDs through center hole from the base of the expediter as shown in figure above.. vii. Insert the RTD sensor leads (if using in the circuit) through the expediter bottom, all the way into the corresponding holes in the grommet. Max RTD cable diameter is 0.125″, min RTD cable diameter is 0.10″.
Note: The customer must order RTDs separately. RTDs are not included in Duo or mounting kits shipment.
CAUTION: Do not pull from the sensor end when routing through the expediter assembly. Pull sensor from the lead wire portion. viii. Pull cables through the grommet. Then push the grommet to make it rest firmly on the expediter.
