nvent RAYCHEM FTC-P Bedienungsanleitung
XL-Trace RaySol
IceStop
DESCRIPTION
The nVent RAYCHEM FTC-P Power Connection and End Seal Kit is
for use with XL-Trace, RaySol and IceStop heating cables. Materials
for one power connection and one end seal are included in this kit.
These installation instructions should be used in conjunction with
the XL-Trace, RaySol and IceStop System Installation and Operation
Manuals. For technical support contact your nVent representative
or call nVent at 800-545-6258.
TOOLS REQUIRED
• Screw driver • Pen
• Needle-nose pliers • Diagonal cutters
• Utility knife • Heat gun or propane torch
ADDITIONAL MATERIALS REQUIRED
(NOT PROVIDED IN THIS KIT)
• UL Listed or CSA Certified junction box suitable for the location,
with a clearance hole or threaded hub for 1⁄2-inch NPT. For
RaySol applications, the power connection and end seal may be
terminated in the same box.
This component is an electrical device that must be
installed correctly to ensure proper operation and to
prevent shock or fire. Read these important warnings
and carefully follow all the installation instructions.
• To minimize the danger of fire from sustained
electrical arcing if the heating cable is damaged
or improperly installed, and to comply with the
requirements of nVent, agency certifications,
and national electrical codes, ground-fault
equipment protection must be used. Arcing may
not be stopped by conventional circuit breakers.
• Bus wires will short if they contact each other.
Keep bus wires separated.
• Keep components and heating cable ends dry
before and during installation.
• The black heating cable core is conductive
and can short. It must be properly insulated
and kept dry.
• Component approvals and performance are
based on the use of nVent– specified parts
only. Do not use substitute parts or vinyl
electrical tape.
• Leave these instructions with end user for
reference and future use.
HEALTH HAZARD: Overheating heat-
shrinkable tubes will produce fumes that may
cause irritation. Use adequate ventilation and
avoid charring or burning. Consult MSDS RAY3122
for further information.
