HOW TO USE:
- Mounting Preparation: Identify the desired surface for mounting the heater. Ensure the surface is clean, stable, and capable of safely dissipating heat.
- Secure Installation: Position the Caloritech SS1372 heater on the surface using its slotted mounting tabs. Fasten the heater securely with appropriate hardware (e.g., #10-32 screws) through the 5/8" L x 9/32" W slotted holes. Ensure the heater is firmly attached to prevent movement during operation.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the 240V power supply to the two offset bolt-type terminals. Ensure all electrical connections are tight and secure, following local electrical codes and safety guidelines. If the voltage to ground exceeds 300V, secondary insulators must be used.
- Integrate Control (Optional but Recommended): For precise temperature management, connect the heater to a suitable control system. This can be a Caloritech CPA or CPB control panel, a mechanical thermostat, or a bi-metal thermostat installed on the heater's surface. Ensure the control system is correctly wired and calibrated for the desired temperature range.
- Power On and Monitor: Once all connections are secure and the heater is properly mounted, apply power. Monitor the heater's initial operation to ensure it is heating as expected and that all components are functioning correctly.
- Regular Maintenance: Periodically inspect the heater for any signs of wear, loose connections, or obstructions. Ensure the mounting remains secure and the electrical connections are intact.
