3. Slide band heater up then tighten screw (AA).
NOTE: Band heater should be oriented to hold sensor in
place when tightened. It should not bend the sensor.
4. Route band heater wires through grommet (63) in
the top of the electrical enclosure (1).
5. Connect wires to terminals as marked. Wires should
be marked as shown in the following table. Tighten
terminal block screws.
6. Install electrical enclosure access door (10). See
