self-regulating heating cables to make splice, tee, and end seal con-
nections. The kit contains materials for one splice and one end seal, or
one tee connection and one end seal. This kit does not provide a power
connection; use an H900 or H908 power connection kit for a complete
installation.

de-icing. The cable type is printed on the outer jacket of the cable.

WARNING:
This component is an electrical device that must be
installed correctly to ensure proper operation and to
prevent shock or fire. Read these important warnings
and carefully follow all the installation instructions.
• To minimize the danger of fire from sustained
electrical arcing if the heating cable is damaged
or improperly installed, and to comply with the
requirements of Tyco Thermal Controls, agency
certifications, and national electrical codes, ground-
fault equipment protection must be used. Arcing may
not be stopped by conventional circuit breakers.
• Bus wires will short if they contact each other. Keep
bus wires separated.
• Keep components and heating cable ends dry before
and during installation.
• The black heating cable core is conductive and can
short. It must be properly insulated and kept dry.
• Component approvals and performance are based on
the use of Tyco Thermal Controls-specified parts only.
Do not use substitute parts or vinyl electrical tape.
• Leave these instructions with end user for reference
and future use.
