1 Overview

Danfoss Connecto NA is a family of connection kits for self-regulating heating cables (trace heaters). The Connecto NA connection kits are simple and safe to use, yet faster to install and more cost effective than conventional systems. They can be used with Danfoss PX/RX heating cables in fixed equipment heating systems for multiple applications (e.g. heating of pipes, roof and gutter de-icing etc.).

Installation Instruction

Danfoss Connecto NA connection kits

For roof and gutter applications use only the UV-resistant Danfoss RX-C ‘black’ heating cable (certified by the –WS mark on the device).

Any defective component in a set must be replaced before installation.

Keep all components and the heating cables dry before and during installation.

To avoid short circuits, do not connect the heating cable bus wires together.

When used for roof and gutter de-icing, the Connecto NA connection kit must be installed in a dry place outside the gutter.

For end seal installation silicone adhesive is used. Follow the safety instructions given on the packaging.

Keep these instructions for future reference. If applicable, leave them with the end user.

De-energize before installation or servicing.

Use only original Danfoss accessories.
