This cable is installed in sensitive areas where the consequence of an undetected flood could be contact the cable Services sales of fice for further Trace Heating GUIDELINES9 GENERAL INFORMATIONThis installation information is for Raychem Self-Regulating Heater Systems on thermallyinsulated pipes only. For information regarding other applications contact cable with any electrical equipment or wiring installation operating at line voltages, heatingcable and component damage or incorrect installation that allows the penetration ofmoisture or contamination can lead to electrical tracking, arcing and potential fire not connect a heater s conductors together or this will result in a short unconnected Heating cable end must be sealed with a Raychem approved end cable SelectionCheck the design specification to make sure the proper heater is installed on eachpipe.

10 Refer to cable Services for help in selecting the proper Heating cable for eachthermal, chemical, electrical and mechanical cable Heating cable Storage Store the Heating cable in a clean, dry place. Temperature range: -40OC to +60OC. Protect the Heating cable from mechanical Pre-Installation ChecksCheck materials received: Review the Heating cable design and compare the list of materials to the catalogue numbers of Heating cables and electrical components received to confirm that proper materials are on site. The heater type is printed on its jacket. Temperature exposure must not exceed that specified in Raychem product these limits will impair product performance. Check that expectedexposure is within these limits. Ensure that the Heating cable voltage rating is suitable for the service voltage available. Inspect Heating cable and components for in-transit damage.
