CLIP 6V4356 - Caterpillar

The internal wiring of the heater is completed in the factory. The conduit and the wiring for the main power supply must be supplied by the customer.The main power supply operates the heating element and the pump motor. The transformer in the control box reduces the main supply voltage to 120 V for use by the heater's control circuit. The transformer and the heater's control circuit are protected from electrical overload with fuses that are already installed in the control box. The 120 V system is activated by a 24 V control relay in the control box. The 24 V supply is obtained from the engine's terminal box or the engine's control system.If the heater was not installed at the factory, the following items must be provided by the customer:
Mounting of the heater
Conduit for the 24 V supply
Wiring for the 24 V supply
Plumbing for the heaterMounting
Mount the heating system as low as possible in a horizontal position. This allows the heating tank to completely fill. If the heating tank cannot completely fill, the service life of the heating element will be reduced. The outlet for the fluid must be in the uppermost position.

Hole (1) in the control box is for the 19 mm (3/4 inch) main power supply's conduit.If the heater was not installed at the factory, route the appropriate conduit from the engine's terminal box to the control box's hole (2) for the 24 V power supply's 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) conduit.Use the liquid tight conduit. Use proper support and alignment in order to avoid strain on the conduit.Main Power Supply
These heating systems must be operated at the correct voltage. Improper voltage results
