Thermon PETK-10 - Manual (Page 2)

Connection kit CKTES (Connection Kit Thermon Series Cable) is designed to connect a cold lead cable to a series
constant watt heating cable or to repair the Thermon Europe Series (TESH) constant watt heating cables.
The CKTES consists of a non-metallic enclosure which does not need to be earthed. Crimp connectors are used to
connect the braid and the conductor. They are separated by a non-metallic spacer. To make the CKTES watertight a
silicone sealant is used to fill the non-metallic body. This body is sealed off on both sides with a grommet and a non-
metallic screw cap.
After installation, the CKTES Termination and in-line splice kit shall be subjected to an insulation resistance test
according to EN 60079-30-2, clause 8.3.4, using a test voltage of 500 - 2500 Vdc in accordance with local regulations,
applied between the live conductors and the metallic braid of the power or heating cables. The measured insulation
resistance must be higher than 20 MΩ. For other cold lead cables, contact Thermon.
Before installing or replacing the product read these instructions completely.
•
Thermon is unable to guarantee the performance of the joint when used in combination with non-Thermon
•
products.
Installation must comply with local requirements for electric heat tracing systems.
•
Water and dust ingress must be avoided before, during and after installation, to prevent electrical shock, short
•
circuit or arcing.
Due to the risk of electric shock, short circuit, arcing and fire caused by product damage or improper usage, •
installation or maintenance, Thermon heat tracing systems must always be installed in combination with an
overcurrent protection device and RCD (Residual Current Device).
Always take into account the markings on the CKTES concerning the temperature classification and explosion •
group.
Modifications to the CKTES are not allowed. •
Before installation or replacement of the CKTES, ensure that the power supply to the system is switched off.
•
For crimping lugs, use standard ratchet action crimping tool. Use crimp connectors matching the conductor
•
diameter. Use crimping tools associated with the crimp connectors.
Avoid skin and eye contact with RTV sealant.
•
When stored above 5°C, shelf life will be reduced.
•
For Hazardous Areas:
Installation must comply with Thermon requirements and be installed in accordance with the regulation as per
•
standard EN/IEC 60079-14 for hazardous areas (where applicable), and/or any other applicable national and local
codes.
This device is not suitable for zone 0. This device can be used in the following ATEX and IECEX zones: zone 1,
•
zone 2, zone 21 and zone 22.
For power termination, use only ATEX/IECeX approved glands, terminals and junction boxes. •
Installation or replacement of the CKTES in hazardous areas may only be undertaken by qualified personnel with •
adequate training for the area involved.
