CABLE INSTALLATION
Install cable on pipe in the preferred/recommended
orientation(s), in either straight or spiral method ac-
cording to pipe heat requirements. Secure cable every
24" using 3/4" w. fiberglass tape, NST-2 (or equiva-
lent).

CABLE TERMINATION
1. Terminate end of cable per end seal
directions, Page 4.
2. Mark pipe where stand-off will be
mounted and cut cable 10" beyond
mark.
3. Push heater cables through the bot-
tom opening of stand-off, allowing 6"
(152mm) tail to protrude from threaded
end.
4. Place stand-off on the pipe at 4 o’clock
or 8 o’clock position and fasten with
pipe clamps.
5. Slide the sealing grommet, beveled
end first, over the heater cable and
position inside stand-off throat.
6. Apply silicon around the heater cable
sufficient to fill all voids in sealing
grommet.
7. Slide the box adapter over heater cable
and tighten securely to stand-off.
8. Prepare heater cable for power
termination according to Cable
Stripping Procedure, Page 3.
9. Connect power in accordance
with Power Connection Procedure,

CABLE CONTROL
The Easy Heat SR Cables for pipe tracing applications
can be controlled in several different ways. The sim-
plest control method is to connect power to the cable
at all times; the self regulating characteristic of the
cable will ensure that cable power is reduced if heat
is not required on the pipe. Alternately, a thermostat
can be used to control the cable and maintain the pipe
at an appropriate temperature. Contact Easy Heat for
additional information.

CABLE STRIPPING PROCEDURE
For cables without overjacket (braid only), proceed
directly to step 4.
1. Lightly cut around
heater overjacket 5"
(127mm) from the end.
Bend cable to break
overjacket.
2. Lightly cut overjacket
up the center between
first cut mark and the cable
end. Bend cable to break the
overjacket.
3. Remove overjacket from
the heater cable.
4. Move braid back toward the
overjacket, creating a bulge.
(For cables without overjacket, ap-
ply a ring of electrical tape 5" from end
of cable, then
move braid
back toward
tape, creating a
bulge.)
8. With braid prepared as shown, lightly cut
around heater jacket 4" (102mm) from the end.
Bend cable to break outer jacket.
9. Lightly cut the
outer jacket up the
center between the
first cut mark and the
cable end. Bend cable
to break outer jacket.
10. Remove the jacket from
the heater cable.
11. Shave the core material from

The TSRL Pilot Light Kits are
designed as end-of-circuit indicating
light assemblies utilizing low temper-
ature neon lamps. Kits are available
for 120V, 208V, 240V and 277V op-
