5. セットアップとインストール

Follow these steps for proper installation of your heating cable.

5.1. 準備

1. Ensure the pipe is clean and dry before installation.
2. Uncoil the heating cable completely to prevent it from touching or overlapping itself.
3. Temporarily plug in the cable to confirm it heats up. You should feel a slight warmth.
4. Unplug the cable before proceeding with installation.

5.2. Attaching the Cable to the Pipe

1. Position the heating cable along the underside of the pipe.
2. Use the provided aluminum foil fiberglass tape to secure the cable to the pipe at regular intervals (approximately every 12 inches). Ensure the thermostat, splice, and end seal are firmly against the pipe.
3. 重要： The heating cable must be installed in a straight line along the pipe. Do not spiral, cross, or overlap the cable, as this can lead to overheating and damage.

5.3. Applying Insulation

1. After securing the heating cable, apply appropriate pipe insulation (e.g., foam tubing or fiberglass insulation) over the pipe and the heating cable. This helps to retain heat and improve energy efficiency.
2. Ensure the insulation covers the entire length of the heated pipe section, including the thermostat and end seal.

6. 操作手順

The HEATIT HISD-F heating cable features an automatic thermostat for convenient and energy-efficient operation.

1. Once installed and insulated, plug the heating cable into a standard 120V AC grounded outlet.
2. The built-in thermostat will automatically activate the heating element when the ambient temperature drops below 37°F (3°C).
3. The heating element will automatically shut off when the ambient temperature rises above 50°F (10°C).
4. This automatic control ensures your pipes are protected from freezing only when necessary, optimizing energy consumption.

7. メンテナンス

Regular inspection and simple maintenance can extend the life of your heating cable.

• 季節のチェック: Before the cold season begins, inspect the entire length of the heating cable and its insulation for any signs of damage, wear, or exposure.
• Insulation Integrity: Ensure the pipe insulation remains intact and securely covers the heating cable. Repair or replace any damaged insulation.
• 電源コードとプラグ: Check the power cord and plug for cuts, fraying, or damage. Do not use if damaged.
• 清潔さ: Keep the area around the heated pipe free from debris or obstructions that could interfere with heat dissipation or damage the cable.

8。 トラブルシューティング

If your HEATIT heating cable is not functioning as expected, consider the following:

• 熱なし：
  • Verify the cable is securely plugged into a functional 120V AC grounded outlet.
  • コンセントのブレーカーを確認してください。
  • Ensure the ambient temperature is below 37°F (3°C) for the thermostat to activate.
  • ケーブルに目に見える損傷がないか検査します。
• 過熱：
  • Ensure the cable is not crossed or overlapped at any point.
  • Confirm the pipe is always filled with water.
