Example I
If you connect three
20" x 60" walkway mats
(2.5-amps each) with five
10" x 30" stair mats (0.7A
each) you only have 11-
amps, so you’re ok.
If you connect eighteen 10" x 30"
stair mats you will have a total
of 12.6-amps, so you’re also ok.
Example II
• If the mats you are connecting will exceed 14-amps then disconnect
some of the mats and put them on a different Power Unit. Remember,
no more than 14-amps per Power Unit. Additional Power Units are
available at
www.HeatTrak.com
, model number HR-P.
• Most outdoor outlets are rated to handle up to 15-amps. Some newer outlets can
handle up to 20-amps. If you have connected up to 14-amps of heating mats, even if
you only used one Power Unit, you cannot plug anything else into that outdoor outlet,
unless you know that the amp rating on your outdoor outlet is greater than 15-amps.
• Similarly, if there are other items plugged into that outdoor outlet (Christmas lights, etc.)
,
you may not be able to connect the full number of mats to your Power Unit. If you have
any questions, please consult with a certified electrician.
•
Connecting the Mats: to connect mats together, find the
female connector of mat #1, and connect it to the male
connector of mat #2. Align the 2 connectors, and firmly
push the connectors together so they are flush with each
other. If the male and female ends feel like they do not
connect together, flip the male end of the cord 180 degrees
and try again.
• Once the male and female cords are securely connected,
slide the locking sleeve over the seam to ensure a
water-tight seal.

IMPORTANT:
Now that you have read the above section, it is important
for you to know the rating of your outdoor outlet.
