IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A person who has not read and
understood all installation instructions
is not qualified to install this product.
• Never handle the heating tape
while it is in operation; always
disconnect the heating tape from

STEP 4
Adjust dial to desired setting between 50-425°F (10-218°C).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Read and understand this entire manual
before operating this electric heating tape.
STEP 1
Remove heater from box. Visually inspect heater. Do not use if torn or damaged.
STEP 2
Installing your heating tape:
The flexible heating tape can be installed on both a flat and/or curved surface.
For a flat surface, lay the heating tape onto the surface to be heated. For a
curved surface, wrap the heating tape onto the surface to be heated. Attach the
heating tape to the surface by using aluminum tape, fiberglass tape, or a
mechanical clamping device which will not cause damage to the heating tape.
• The length of one entire side of the heating tape must be in full contact
with the surface. Ensure the heating tape is not kinked, twisted, or any
portion of the tape hanging free from the surface (A).
• Thermostat sensor must be in full contact with object to be heated.
Sensor is located underneath temperature controller box (B).
• Do not overlap heating tape on itself (C).
STEP 3
For 120VAC: Plug power cord into appropriate outlet.
For 240VAC: Terminate power cord to appropriate electrical power supply. The
power cable consists of two color-coded conductors, black and white. The black
wire should be connected to Line 1. The white wire should be connected to Line
2. The power connections must be adequately rated to electrically support the
voltage and amperage of the heater. The identification label located on the power
cord displays voltage and amperage requirements.
