User manual CALORIQUE EMBEDDED MELTING SYSTEM

[. . . ] · Do not incorporate any other outdoor electrical equipment in any branch circuit which feeds this heating system. · This system must be connected to an electrical branch circuit incorporating a ground fault circuit interruper (GFCI) rated for equipment protection. · Heating mats must never be run through or accross expansion joints. [. . . ] Both labels must remain in place as they supply necessary information about the elements. If the leads are cut to length, the trimmed-off label must be reattached within two inches (5. 0 cm) of the end of the cable. This card must be filled out and returned to Calorique to ensure proper registration of the warrantee. Provides specifications for all heating elements included with the system.

Layout the system based on the following: Residential Sidewalks and walkways · In most cases, one heating mat is all that is needed to melt snow and ice from the width of a standard residential sidewalk or walkway. Surface Material (optional) Figure 2. · More than one length of heating mat may be required to heat the entire length of the sidewalk or walkway. In this case, you will need to wire the mats according to Figure 1. Concrete Insulation Residential Driveways · A typical residential driveway is effectively kept ice free by installing one length of heating mat underneath only the area where automobile tires travel. · For complete coverage of driveway surfaces, use multiple heating mats arranged next to each other. · More than one length of heating mat may be required to heat the entire length of the driveway. In this case, you will need to wire the mats according to Figure 1. Heating Mat Heating Mats Conduit Junction Box Industrial / Commerical Driveways, Roadways and Walkways · For complete coverage of surfaces, use multiple heating mats arranged next to each other. · More than one length of heating mat may be required to heat the entire length of the sidewalk or walkway. In this case, you will need to wire the mats according to Figure 1. Heating Mats Installation 1. Using an accurate ohm meter, test each element to ensure that it is within the limits shown on the specification sheet. Remember to grade down an extra amount equal to the thickness of the insulating material used. · Push the supplied stakes through the grommets on the heating elements, into the sand or insulation base below. · Do not crease, fold or otherwise alter the shape or length of the heating units. [. . . ] This check ensures that no damage has occurred to the elements during the installation process. Make electrical connections between the heating mats and the branch circuit wiring per the layout you prepared, making sure to take into account all applicable electrical regulations. Operation The Calorique Embedded Snow & Ice Melting System is easy to operate. Simply turn on the system during winter months and the control will automatically activate the mats when it detects moisture and the temperature drops below 38°F (3°C). [. . . ]
