The TraceNet ECM/FAK-1 Split Bulkhead Entry Kit is designed to
provide accurate control with ECM Electronic Control and make
a waterproof seal over the end of TubeTrace and terminate
Thermon electric heat trace in an approved Terminator juncon
box. Review Instrucons prior to installaon. Kit will make one
connecon.
2. Trim heat tracing to within 305 mm–381 mm
of the end of the insulaon. If self-regulang
heat trace proceed to step 3. For Zone-type
heat trace connue with idencaon of bus
connecon on step 2a.
1. Remove outer jacket and insulaon from tubing
bundle to expose the electric heat trace and
tubing. Ensure sucient heat trace is available
for electrical connection. See instructions
included with heat trace PETK kit (purchased
separately).
5. Wrap tubes and heat tracing with pass of heat
reecve tape (25% overlap). Then wrap with 3
passes of glass ber tape (50% overlap), or unl
ber tape is equal to original bundle insulaon
thickness.

Installaon Precauons
• Keep ends of bundles, heat tracing and kit components dry
before and during installaon.
• To minimize the potenal for arcing on electrical heat tracing
caused by product damage or improper installation, use
appropriate ground-fault circuit protecon.
• Installaon must comply with Thermon requirements and be
installed in accordance with any applicable naonal and local
codes.
• Component approvals and performance rangs are based on
the use of Thermon specied parts only. User supplied power
connecon ngs must be listed or cered for intended use.
• De-energize all power sources before opening enclosure.
• Individuals installing these products are responsible for
complying with all applicable safety and health guidelines.
Proper personal protecve equipment, or PPE, should be
ulized during installaon. Contact Thermon if you have any
addional quesons.

2a. Strip back bundle insulaon 38 mm to 76 mm
beyond bus connecon heat tracing. If bus
connecon indentaon is less than 305 mm–
381 mm from end of the heat tracing, proceed
stripping the bundle insulaon to the next
indentaon.

4. Insert the RTD(s) into the prepared hole(s) in
the thermal insulaon.
3. Prepare tubing bundle for RTD sensor(s) by
inserng a phillips screwdriver between the
process tube(s) and insulation at a point
opposite the heang cable. The sensor should
be placed 180° around the circumference from
the heang cable. Make sure that the enre
length of the sensor is in inmate contact with
the tube surface. Prevent kinking.
