System Tests
The following tests must be done after installing
the RayClic connection kits, but before the thermal
insulation is applied to the pipe:
1. Visual inspection
2. Insulation resistance test
After the thermal insulation has been installed on
the pipe, the following tests must be performed:
1. Visual inspection
2. Insulation resistance test
3. Circuit length verification (capacitance test)
4. Power test
5. Temperature test
All test procedures are described in this manual.
It is the installer’s responsibility to perform these
tests or have an electrician perform them. Record
the results in the Installation and Inspection Record
in Section 11.
1. Visual inspection test
• Check inside all power, splice and tee kits for
proper installation, overheating, corrosion, mois-
ture, or loose connections.
• Check the electrical connections to ensure that
ground and bus wires are insulated over their full
length.
• Check for damaged, missing or wet thermal
insulation.
• Check that end seals, splices, and tees are prop-
erly labeled on insulation cladding.
• Check HWAT-ECO or ACS-30 controller for proper
setpoint and operation. Refer to the HWAT-ECO
Installation and Operation Manual or ACS-30
Programming Guide for details.
2. Insulation Resistance test
Frequency
Insulation resistance testing is required during the
installation process, and as part of regularly sched-
uled maintenance, as follows:
