• Replace the skid plate and secure in place using the supplied
stainless steel screws.
•
Wire Skid Plates Together. (If more than one plate is used.)
Using the supplied tap connectors, wire the skid plates together.
Using the following figure as a guide, route conduit into the
junction box on each plate and splice the three legs of electrical
power together using the supplied waterproof connectors.
Tap wires between each plate using the connectors within the
attached junction box.
•
Secure Conduit in Place.
Use a recognized method for securing the conduit.
•
Attach Cover Plate.
Apply a continous bead of exterior grade silicone sealant along
the inside edge of the cover plate, then screw the plate to the
junction box using the included screws.
•
Check Resistance.
Using an accurate ohm meter, test each
skid plate to ensure that it is within the limits shown on the
specification sheet. This test confirms that the plates were not
damaged during installation.
•
Complete Electrical Connections.
• Connect Skid Plates to the Control System.
Following the manufacturer’s instructions for the control, con-
nect the skid plates to the control.
• Supply Power to the Control.
• Test the System Operation.
Turn on the system and ensure that it is drawing the correct
amount of current. The current draw for your system is listed
on the order sheet that comes with the system.
Operation
NOTE:
Do not operate the system when the air temperature is above
50°F (10°C). Operation above this temperature may overheat the ele-
ments and present a shock hazard.
•
When using the CalorIQue snow sensor, the skid plates will
heat up automatically when needed. No user intervention
should be required. See the control’s operations manual for
additional information.
•
When using an on/off switch as the sole control, turn on the
system when snow or icy conditions are expected.
