Periodic Inspections
Each month
• Test the 9800 FlexFit plug as described in Step 6B.
Periodically
Each time you plug in the system, and at least once a year,
do the following:
• Check the entire Frostex system for signs of damage.
Inspect any exposed portion of the heating cable for
evidence of cuts, nicks, abrasions, gnawing by animals,
and any other physical damage.
If there is damage, immediately replace the damaged
heating cable system and thermal insulation. Do not
attempt to repair any part of the heating cable system.
• After a thorough inspection, start up the system and test the
9800 FlexFit plug and system as described in Steps 6 and 7.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The red button pops out immediately when
the plug is plugged in, or the button will not reset.
What to do: A strand of braid may have entered the heating cable
guide during Step 3B.
• Unplug the 9800 FlexFit Plug.
• Remove the cover (the reverse of Step 3D).
• Unscrew the two screws of the heating cable guide (the
reverse of Step 3C).
• Using a flat blade screwdriver, gently pry the heating cable
guide up until the heating cable can be removed.
• Reinstall the screws completely into the heating cable guide
before re-attaching.
• Repeat installation steps 3A–3D, ensuring no braid strands
enter the heating cable guide during Step 3B.
• Repeat Step 6, “Start up the system.”
Note: If the 9800 FlexFit Plug red test button continues to pop
out, your system is damaged and must be replaced.
Problem: The signal light does not light up.
What to do: Check to be sure the outlet has power. If you are
not certain how to do this, call a professional service person.
If the outlet has no power,
correct the problem, then follow Step 6,
“Start up the system.”
If the outlet has power but the signal light still does not light up after
you conduct the test described in Step 6B, “Test the plug,” the
internal nonreplaceable fuse is blown. This means the Frostex
system is damaged and must be replaced.
Problem: The 9800 FlexFit plug does not trip
(red button does not pop out).
What to do: Check to be sure the outlet has power. If you are
not certain how to do this, call a professional service person.
If the outlet has no power,
correct the problem, then follow the
instructions in Steps 6 and 7.
If the outlet has power but the 9800 FlexFit plug still fails to trip,
the Frostex system is damaged and must be replaced.
Problem: The heating cable fails to warm up or water
is not warm after testing the system.
What to do: The heating cable may not be fully inserted into the
heating cable guide, or the guide may not be screwed down com-
pletely.
• Unplug the 9800 FlexFit Plug.
• Remove the cover (the reverse of Step 3D).
• Unscrew the two screws of the heating cable guide (the
reverse
of Step 3C).
• Using a flat blade screwdriver, gently pry the heating cable
guide up until the heating cable can be removed.
• Reinstall the screws completely into the heating cable guide
before re-attaching.
• Repeat installation steps 3A–3D, ensuring no braid strands
enter the heating cable guide during Step 3B.
