Problem Solution
Braidclipsaremissing. The braid clips are attached to the cardboard packing insert under the lid. The braid clips must be used to
ensure a ground connection. If clips are missing or lost, call Tyco Thermal Controls at [phone].
Mounting bracket is missing. A pipe mounting bracket is supplied with the Power Connection, Powered Splice and Powered Tee kits. A
wall mounting bracket or additional pipe mounting bracked may be ordered using one of the catalog num-
bers listed under “Optional Accessories” on the front page of these instructions when you place your order.
Connector does not snap onto bracket. The bracket has two sets of attachment clips. Fold up the four outer clips for the Power Connection
kit. Fold up only the center clips for the Powered Splice and Powered Tee kits.
Heating cable type not mentioned. RayClic connection kits are approved for use only with Raychem HWAT, XL-Trace, and IceStop heat-
ing cables. Do not use with other heating cables.

Heating Cable Circuit Testing
The RayClic Power Connection Kits (RayClic-PC, RayClic-PS and RayClic-PT) now include test ports in the blank module. Voltage can measured at
these points to confirm continuity or power to the installed heating cable circuit. For detail heating cable operation refer to the appropriate installation
and operating manual.
Instructions:
1. Open the RayClic Cover.
2. Set multimeter to AC voltage function.
3. Insert multimeter test probes into the two test ports.
