3. Installationsvejledning

The HEATIT JHSF heating cable is pre-assembled for easy installation. Follow these steps for proper setup:

Pre-Installation Functionality Test:

1. Uncoil the heating cable completely.
2. Plug the cable into a 120V AC ground-fault protected outlet. The indicator light on the plug should illuminate.
3. Place the thermostat (the small black sensor) into an ice bucket or wrap it tightly with a frozen ice pack for a few minutes.
4. After a few minutes, carefully touch the heating cable. You should feel a slight warmth, indicating it is functioning correctly.

Kabel installation:

1. Determine Proper Length: Refer to the cable selection tables (often found in the product packaging or online) to calculate the required cable length based on pipe diameter, material, and lowest expected temperature. Add 1ft (0.3m) of cable for each valve or support.
2. Fix Thermostat: Position the thermostat at the pipe's coolest point, ensuring direct contact with the pipe.
3. Fix Cable: Affix the heating cable onto the pipe. It can be installed in a linear arrangement, spiraled around the pipe, or overlapped. Use the provided glass cloth tape to secure the cable every 10 feet or as needed.
4. Apply Insulation: Encase the entire pipe, cable, and thermostat in HEATIT insulation tape (available separately) specifically designed for pipe applications. This improves efficiency and protection.
5. Plug and Play: Plug the cable into a 120V AC ground-fault protected outlet. The indicator light on the plug will turn on, confirming power.

4. Betjeningsvejledning

Once installed, the HEATIT JHSF heating cable operates automatically to provide reliable freeze protection.

Automatisk drift:

• The built-in thermostat monitors the ambient temperature around the pipe.
• When the temperature drops to 38°F (3°C) or below, the heating cable automatically activates.
• When the temperature rises to 50°F (10°C) or above, the heating cable automatically deactivates.
• The self-regulating core adjusts its heat output: generating more heat in colder conditions and less heat as temperatures rise, ensuring energy efficiency and preventing overheating.
• The indicator light on the plug confirms the cable is receiving power.

5. Vedligeholdelse

The HEATIT JHSF heating cable requires minimal maintenance. Regular checks ensure continued optimal performance.

• Visuel inspektion: Periodically inspect the cable and its connections for any signs of damage, wear, or loose tape.
• Isoleringstjek: Ensure that the pipe insulation remains intact and covers the entire heating cable and thermostat. Replace any damaged insulation.
• Funktionstest: Before the onset of cold weather each season, perform the pre-installation functionality test (Section 3.1) to confirm the cable is heating properly.
• Renhed: Keep the area around the cable and thermostat free from debris, dirt, or anything that could interfere with its operation.
