WARNING:
CAUTION:
This component is an electrical device that must be
installed correctly to ensure proper operation and to
prevent shock or fire. Read these important warnings and
carefully follow all of 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 the requirements of nVent
agency certifications, and national electrical codes,
ground-fault equipment protection must be used. Arcing
may not be stopped by conventional circuit breakers.
•Component approvals and performance are based
on the use of nVent-specified parts only. Do not use
substitute parts or vinyl electrical tape.
•The black heating cable core and fibers are 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 scoring the jacket or core.
•Keep components and heating cable ends dry before
and during installation.
•Use only fire-resistant insulation materials, such as
fiberglass wrap and flame-retardant foam.
HEALTH HAZARD: Prolonged or repeated contact with
the sealant in the core sealer may cause skin irritation.
Wash hands thoroughly. Overheating or burning the
sealant will produce fumes that may cause polymer fume
fever. Avoid contamination of cigarettes or tobacco.
Consult MSDS VEN 0058 for further information.

This kit uses spring clamp style terminals.
Terminals use a steel spring to clamp the wire to provide improved
vibration resistance, reduced maintenance and faster installation.
To connect wires, firmly insert a slotted screwdriver into the square hole
(1

) to open the spring. When fully inserted, the screwdriver will lock
into place, allowing you to remove your hand and insert the wire into the
round hole (

held securely against the bus bar for low contact resistance over time
without the need to periodically retighten screws.
•Push screwdriver FIRMLY into

•Insert wire into round hole.
•Use green terminal for braid and

•Remove screwdriver.
•Repeat for all connections.

Catalog number JBS-SPA P/N E90515-000
Este componente é um dispositivo elétrico que deve
ser instalado corretamente para assegurar operação
adequada e prevenir choque elétrico ou incêndio. Leia
estes avisos importantes e siga cuidadosamente todas as
instruções de instalação.
•Para minimizar o perigo de incêndio causado por
arco elétrico, caso o cabo aquecedor seja danificado
ou instalado incorretamente, e para cumprir com os
requisitos da nVent, das certificações de agências
regulamentadoras e dos códigos elétricos nacionais,
deverão ser usados equipamentos de proteção de
contra corrente de fuga à terra. Arcos voltaicos não
podem ser interrompidos por meio de disjuntores
convencionais.
•As aprovações e o desempenho de componentes são
baseados no uso exclusivo de peças especificadas
pela nVent. Não use peças de reposição alternativas
ou fita isolante de vinil.
•O núcleo e as fibras do cabo aquecedor preto são
condutivos e podem entrar em curto. Devem ser
isolados adequadamente e ser mantidos secos.
•Fios condutores danificados podem superaquecer
ou entrar em curto. Não quebre os fios condutores
ao cortar a capa ou o núcleo.
•Mantenha os componentes e as extremidades do
cabo aquecedor secos antes e durante a instalação.
•Use somente materiais de isolamento resistentes ao
fogo, como fitas de fibra de vidro ou espuma anti-chama.
RISCO PARA A SAÚDE: O contato prolongado ou repetido
com o vedante no isolamento do núcleo pode causar
irritação da pele. Lave bem as mãos. O superaquecimento
ou a queima do vedante produzirá gases que poderão
causar febre. Evite contaminação por cigarros ou tabaco.
Consulte a FISPQ (MSDS) VEN 0058 para obter mais
informações.
