Receiving and Storage
n Ensure that the protective caps placed over the ends of
the bundle are firmly in place to protect from moisture.
CAUTION: Fire hazard in hazardous locations. The
insulation resisitance test can produce sparks. Be sure there are
no flammable vapors in the area before performing this test.
Insulation Resistance Criteria
n A clean, dry, properly installed circuit should measure
thousands of megohms, regardless of the heating cable
length or measuring voltage. The following criteria are
provided to assist in determining the acceptability of an
installation where optimum conditions may not apply.
n All insulation resistance values should be greater than 1
gigaohm (1000 megohms).

Electrical Insulation Resistance (Megger™) Test
CAUTION: High voltage testing of electrical insulation
poses potential shock hazard and should only be performed by
qualified personnel.
Frequency
n Electrical insulation resistance testing is recommended
before installing the bundle, prior to initial start-up after
bundle installation and as part of regularly scheduled
maintenance.
Procedure
n Insulation resistance testing (using a megohmmeter) should
be conducted at 500 and 1,000 Vdc.
n First measure the resistance between the heating cable bus
wires and the braid.
1. De-energize the circuit.
2. Disconnect the thermostat or controller if installed.
3. Disconnect bus wires from terminal block if installed.
4. Set test voltage at 0 Vdc.
5. Connect the negative (-) lead to the heating cable metallic braid.
6. Connect the positive (+) lead to both heating cable bus wires
simultaneously.
7. Turn on the megohmmeter and set the voltage to 500 Vdc; apply the
voltage for 1 minute. The meter needle should stop moving. Rapid
deflection indicates a short. Record the insulation resistance value in the
Inspection Record.
8. Repeat Steps 4-7 at 1000 Vd.
9. Turn off the megohmmeter.
10. If the megohmmeter does not self-discharge, discharge phase connection
to ground with a suitable grounding rod. Disconnect the megohmmeter.
11. Reconnect the thermostat if installed.

YOU MUST LOCATE THE FIRST AND LAST NODES
TO CORRECTLY INSTALL THIS PRODUCT.
Zone Length
n Zone nodes must also be located when installing
splice and tee connections.
n Do not exceed the maximum circuit length of the
heat trace. Refer to the heat trace cut sheet.
n Only connect bundles of the same model.
n Insulate the Splice/Tee area to the same physical
size. Completely weather seal the area, paying
particular attention to the exit points of the tracer.
Apply RTV sealant around this area to prevent
moisture ingress. See page 9 for sealing product
options.
Node
When installed, the first node must be a minimum of 6"
(150mm) away from the junction box entry gland or the
end termination fitting. The heater cable from the cut
end to the first node will be unheated.
Splice

First Node From
Node Location
Planning Installation and Determining Length
n Route along existing structures such as beams and
columns to provide support.
n Avoid areas where the ambient temperature may exceed
110°F (45°C).
n Maintain 1/2" (12mm) minimum air gap between bundles.
n Measure square into corners. (The length required
to make a 90 degree bend is about 13" (330mm).
Measuring square into the corner will give you 16"
(410mm). The extra 3" (80mm) is part of your safety
factor to ensure you have enough length.)
n Allow 12" - 18" (300mm to 450mm) of straight tubing
bundle before connecting to fittings.
n Allow enough heater cable to reach the junction box
and make connections inside considering the minimum
length requirements of applicable national and local
electrical codes.
n If the bundle contains a JNx, JVx, T18, TN18 or TY18
heater see special instructions on the following page
about locating first and last nodes.
n If the bundle is supplied with factory finished ends or
factory installed temperature sensor, the "Power End",
"Probe End" and "Temperature Sensor" location will be
marked and must be installed as indicated.
Uncoiling and Straightening
Method 1 - Roll it out on the floor or other flat surface. This will
leave a slight bow that can be taken out by hand.
Method 2 - Use a second smaller spool to straighten the
product as it is taken off of the larger shipping spool.

Minimum Bend Radius
n Minimum bend radius for all products with / " (16mm)
and smaller diameter tubes is 8" (200mm).
n Minimum bend radius for all products with 3/4" (19mm)
and larger diameter tubes or 2 1/2" (65mm) and larger
bundle diameter is 12" (300mm).
5 8
n To bend on the other (larger) dimension:
Method 1 - Make two back to back bends on small
dimension and twist the bundle in the direction
you want it to go.
Vertical Runs
n Two methods are used, one pulls the probe or process
end of the bundle into place and the other lifts the product
spool to the highest point and lowers the instrument or
analyzer end.
Lowering Bundle from Top Down
If the bundle has factory finished ends or factory
installed temperature sensors the probe and power
ends will be labeled on the bundle.
Bending
n The jacket will wrinkle when the bundle is bent. This is a
normal condition and does not affect the performance or
life of the bundle.
n Applying silicone spray on the bundle jacket will help
the bundle slide in the mandrel, especially in cold
temperatures.
n Bend on the small dimension. The bundle will tend to
twist and then bend on this dimension naturally.

n Insert the bulb in the bundle in direct contact with
the process tube or tubes. Cut three pieces of the
2" (50mm) wide fiberglass insulating tape about 1"
(25mm) less than the length of the slit. For each
piece, fold the tape along the cut length making a
double layer tape of 1" (25mm) wide. Work each of
the three tapes into the slit covering the capillary bulb
and under the jacket material.
n Use the fiberglass tape supplied with the jacket patch
kit to wrap the bundle over the slit every 11/2" (40mm).
Secure the capillary to the bundle with the tape for
a distance of at least 2" (50mm) from the end of the
slit. Apply a liberal bead of sealant, similar to TPKSK,
along each side of the capillary.
n Use the black rubber patch supplied with the jacket
patch kit and wrap the bundle to seal the slit.
Cut the black rubber patch so that it extends 2"
(50mm) past the slit in both directions. Remove the
protective backing and wrap it around the patch area,
overlapping it, and press into place. Wire the switch
to the power supply and the tracer per local and
applicable codes.
Thermocouple leads may be supplied with a common
overjacket.

Field Installed Temperature Sensors
n Route the capillary or lead wires along the bundle away from
heat sources other than the tracer in the bundle.
Ensure that the location you select for the temperature
sensor is in a heated section of the bundle. Check that the
electric tracer is properly connected and terminated and that
it is safe to temporarily energize the heater cable.
Energize the heater. Using your hand feel along the area
of the bundle where you will install the temperature sensor
to see if it gets warmer. You should be able to feel the
bundle warm up. Disconnect the tracer and proceed with the
installation.
n Locate the tracer in the bundle. The tracer can usually be felt
through the bundle and insulation. Make a slit lengthwise
along the bundle, opposite the tracer, where the sensor will
be placed. The slit should be about 2" (50mm) longer than
the length of the sensor and it must go through the insulation
and mylar.
