Wrapping the pipe with the
ScaleBlaster Signal Cable
1.) Fully insert the pre-stripped end of the signal cable into one of the two signal terminal block holes,
then gently tug the wire to insure it is locked into place. (See Illustration B on page 5)
2.) Route the signal cable to the inlet pipe. Hold cable parallel and next to the pipe.
3.) Wrap one of the cable ties tightly so that the signal cable is secured to the pipe. (Figure A)
4.) Wrap the loose end of the signal cable securely around the pipe - in any one direction – the proper
number of turns as noted in Chart A.
5.) Make sure the wraps are flush against one another, wrapped tightly and not overlapping. Continue
until you reach the recommended number of wraps.
6.) Wrap a second cable tie at the end of the wrappings securing the signal cable tightly. (Figure B)
7.) Route the loose end of the signal cable back to the
power box. Trim excess cable to length.
8.) Carefully strip the outer plastic shield from the end of the
signal cable leaving1/4” to 3/8” of bare cable. Twist the
bare cable and insert the end in the other terminal block
hole on the power box then gently tug the wire to
insure it is locked into place. (see Illustration B
on page 5)
