DESCRIPTION
The Raychem JBS-100-ECP-A is an electric heat-tracing power
connection / electronic controller combination housed in a NEMA 4X
rated enclosure. It is designed for use only with Raychem BTV-CR,
XL-Trace, BTV-CT, QTVR-CT, XTV-CT, VPL-CT, KTV-CT, and Pyrotenax
MI heating cables in nonhazardous locations.
These kits may be installed at temperatures as low as −40°F (−40°C).
For easier installation store above freezing until just before installation.
The controller can be programmed to maintain temperatures of 425°F
(220°C). It operates at voltages from 100 to 277 Vac and can switch
current up to 30 Amps.
For technical support call Pentair Industrial Heat Tracing Solutions at
(800)545-6258.
