descrIptIOn
The Raychem JBS-100-ECP-A is an electric heat-tracing power
connection / electronic controller combination housed in a NEMA 4X
rated enclosure. It is designed for use only with Raychem BTV-CR,
XL-Trace, BTV-CT, QTVR-CT, XTV-CT, VPL-CT, KTV-CT, and Pyrotenax
MI heating cables in nonhazardous locations.
These kits may be installed at temperatures as low as −40°F (−40°C).
For easier installation store above freezing until just before installation.
The controller can be programmed to maintain temperatures of 425°F
(220°C). It operates at voltages from 100 to 277 Vac and can switch
current up to 30 Amps.
For technical support call Pentair Industrial Heat Tracing Solutions at
(800) 545-6258.
tOOls requIred
• Wire cutters
• Pliers or adjustable wrench
• Utility knife
• Large slotted screwdriver
• Needle nose pliers
• Small slotted screwdriver
• Wire stripper (for VPL-CT)
addItIOnal MaterIals requIred
• Pipe strap
• GT-66 or GS-54 fiberglass tape
• MI cable grounding kit (for MI cable installations)
Catalog No: MI-GROUND-KIT
• AT-180 aluminum tape
• Small pipe adapter (for 1 in (25 mm) and smaller pipes)
Catalog No: JBS-SPA
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 of 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 Pentair Industrial Heat Tracing
Solutions, agency certifications, and the National Electrical
Code, ground-fault equipment protection must be used. Arcing
may not be stopped by conventional circuit breakers.
• Component approvals and performance are based on the use of
Pentair Industrial Heat Tracing Solutions-specified parts only.
Do not use substitute parts or vinyl electrical tape.
• The black heating cable core and fibers are conductive and can
short. They must be properly insulated and kept dry.
• Damaged bus wires can overheat or short. Do not break bus wire
strands when scoring the jacket or core.
• Keep components and heating cable ends dry before and during
installation.
• Use only fire resistant insulation materials, such as fiberglass
wrap or flame-retardant foam.
HealtH Hazard: Prolonged or repeated contact with the
sealant in the core sealer may cause skin irritation. Wash hands
thoroughly. Overheating or burning the sealant will produce
fumes that may cause polymer fume fever. Avoid contamination
of cigarettes or tobacco. Consult MSDS VEN 0058 for further
information.
