Installation instructions for cold lead connection and splice kit for use
with nVent RAYCHEM Polymer insulated (PI) series heating cables.
WARNING: Only use original crimps and crimp tool as specified in the
instructions. In addition to these instructions, the guidelines for installing
series heating systems must be followed.
ATTENTION: to avoid danger of electrical shock or fire, the product
must be installed in accordance with these instructions.
Ingress of moisture has to be avoided before and during installation.
RCD's are required for all heating circuits. Read instructions completely
before starting installation. This product does not require maintenance.
Damaged units shall be replaced. Do not use other parts or duct tape,
metal bandings, tie wire or vinyl electrical tape. Avoid eye contact with
the silicone compound.
Respect the safety data sheet.
Refer to "Installation, Maintenance and Operation Manual Polymer
Insulated (PI) Series Constant Wattage Heating Cable Systems"
De-energize circuits before installation or servicing. Keep ends of trace
Heaters and kits components dry before and during installation. Persons
involved in the installation and testing of electric trace heating systems
shall be suitably trained in all special techniques required. Installation
shall be carried out under the supervision of a qualified person.
WARNING: The purchaser should make the manufacturer aware of
any external effects or aggressive substances that the equipment may
be exposed to.
Special conditions for safe use:
1. The temperature class is to be determined in the EC-type test certificate
for the system.
2. T he splice unit has to be fixed installed. To avoid damage by pulling,
the heating and cold lead cables have to be fixed adjacent to the splice.
The operating instruction of the manufacturer has to be followed.
3. The maximum withstand temperature for the XPI- and XPI-S- cable is
+260˚C, for the XPI-F-cable +90˚C and for the CS-150-xx-PI Cold Applied
Connection & Splice Kits is +200˚C.
4. The maximum supply voltage for the XPI-cable is shown in the
component description.
5. The minimum installation temperature is –70˚C for the XPI- and XPI-S-
cable, –60˚C for the XPI-F-cable and –50˚C for the CS-150-xx-PI Cold
Applied Connection & Splice Kits.
6. The minimum cable spacing must not be less than 20 mm.
7. The minimum bend radius is 2.5x the cable diameter for cables less than
or equal to 6 mm in diameter or the minimum bend radius is 6x the cable
diameter for cables greater than 6 mm in diameter.
8. The XPI- or XPI-F-cable is for use in areas with low risk of mechanical
damage, therefore appropriate installation consideration shall be taken.
The XPI-S-cable is for use in areas with normal risk of mechanical
damage.
9. The CS-150-xx-PI Cold Applied Connection & Splice Kits shall be secured
when installed. To avoid tensile stress, heating or installation cables
shall be fixed in their position in the immediate vicinity of the connection
splice.
10. CS-150-xx-PI is for a one time installation only, and the component
cannot be modified once it is installed.
Rated insulation voltage
XPI-F 300/500 Vac (Uo / U)
XPI and XPI-S 450/750 Vac (Uo / U)
