are silicone filled and provide maximum
protection against moisture. They are a one time
use connector so, if reconnection is necessary
new wire nuts will need to be obtained. All
connections should be made inside the electrical
box.
Ground Connection: The green (ground) wire
from the supply line connects to the grounding
lug inside the electrical box. The wiring will be
easier if you hook up the ground wire first.
First Connection: A black and a white come
from the heating pad. The white wire connects to
the White (neutral) wire of the supply line.
Second Connection: The black wire from the
heating pad connects to either one of the two
black wires of the thermostat.
Third Connection: The other black wire from the
thermostat connects to the black (hot) wire of the
supply line.
Refer to the illustration below for details and
schematic of this wiring connection.
Do not turn on the power until after the water
connections have been made and tested to
assure that there are no leaks.
N0TE: The use of the riser pipe as the grounding
rod is not recommended. This is due to the
extensive use of plastic pipe on the farmsteads
and the unknown grounding properties of the
existing pipe on the site.
WARNING: Compliance with the national electric
code (CSA in Canada) and local electrical codes
must be made and maintained when installing
the drinker. Failure to comply and maintain the
drinker to code could result in loss of livestock,
severe personal injury, or even death.
