SAFETY INFORMATION AND WARNING SUMMARY
Electrical Shock / Fire Hazard
Even when the snow melting elements are
disconnected, as long as the circuit breaker is on and
power is running to the unit, voltage is still being
applied to the system’s yellow leads. Therefore,
never touch the ends of the yellow leads or let the
two leads touch each other. Do not let the two yellow
leads contact any component inside the unit.
Any installation involving electric heater wiring must
be grounded to earth to protect against shock and
fire hazard. Suitable ground fault detection and
interrupting systems must be in use at all times to
reduce shock and fire hazard and to protect
equipment.
Electric wiring to heating elements must be installed
in accordance with National Electrical Code (NEC)
requirements and all other local and applicable
electrical codes and any third party standards.
Follow the installation instructions contained herein
and those provided by the heater manufacturer.
Use a GFEP (Ground Fault Equipment Protection)
circuit breaker on each branch circuit connected to
the ice melting system. Clearly label each circuit
breaker with its function. This is vitally important
when there is more than a single point of disconnect.
Size the circuit breaker in accordance with the size of
the expected load. The maximum current load for
the LCD-8 is 3 amp resistive for 24 VAC.
Electrical Shock / Fire Hazard (CONT.)
Abnormal Odor or Smoke
In the event of smoke or a burning or abnormal odor,
immediately interrupt power to the unit by
unplugging the unit or by turning off the circuit
breaker protecting the unit.
Make all electrical connections in compliance with the National
Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and local electrical code. If you have
questions concerning the installation or application, contact
Customer Service.
This product is intended for use in residential or light
commercial applications.
Make certain that the heater shield is properly
grounded. Failure to do so may result in damage to
the equipment or fire.
Following installation and prior to beginning system
operation, refer to and perform the Post-Installation
Tests (page 12) described in this manual.
