Important Safeguards and Warnings
Warning: Fire and Shock Hazard
EN
nVent RAYCHEM HWAT Systems must be installed correctly to ensure
FR
proper operation and to prevent shock and fire. Read these important
warn ings 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
nVent requirements, agency certifica tions, and national electrical codes,
ground-fault equipment protec tion has been built into the HWAT-ECO-GF
controller and must be used on each heating cable branch circuit. Arcing
may not be stopped by conventional circuit breakers. Approvals and
performance are based on the use of nVent parts only. Do not substitute
parts or use vinyl electrical tape. Bus wires will short if they contact each
other. Keep bus wires separated.
Connection kits and heating cable ends must be kept dry before and
during installation. The black heating cable core is conductive and can
short. They must be properly insulated and kept dry.
Damaged bus wires can overheat or short. Do not break bus wire strands
when preparing the cable for connection. Damaged heating cable can
cause electrical arcing or fire. Do not use metal attachments such as
pipe straps or tie wire. Use only nVent approved tapes and cable ties to
secure the cable to the pipe.
Do not attempt to repair or energize damaged cable. Remove damaged
cable at once and replace with a new length using the nVent RAYCHEM
RayClic-S splice kit. Replace damaged connection kits. Use only fire-
resistant insulation which is compatible with the application and the
maximum exposure temperature of the system to be traced.
