GENERAL
This product has been designed and
manufactured for the sole intended use of
controlling roof de-icing cables. The sole
intended use of a roof de-icing cable is
to help prevent ice dams from forming on
inclined roofs, in gutters and downspouts.
Improper installation, use, operation and/
or maintenance of electrical roof de-icing
cables can cause fire, electrical shock
and/or allow ice dams to form.
WARNING
1. If after carefully reading these instructions
you still have questions regarding
installation or operation of this product,
call the numbers listed below for
assistance.
2. It is recommended that the circuit
supplying the RS2 and heating cable
have ground fault protection; this is
mandatory by electrical code for some
applications in many regions. Consult
an electrical inspector to determine
the specific ground fault requirements
for your application prior to installation.
If you are unsure that your circuit has
ground fault protection, consult an
electrician. If a ground fault device trips
and cannot be reset, then a fault in the
RS2 or in the roof de-icing cable exists.
Do not attempt to bypass the ground
fault device. Bypassing the ground fault
device may result in the risk of fire or
electrical shock.
3. The main housing must be kept dry; it is
not water resistant and will fail if directly
exposed to the weather.
4. All roof de-icing cables must be installed
in compliance with the latest editions of:
the National Electric Code; Canadian
Electrical Code; State or Provincial Codes;
and Local Codes.
5. These instructions must be saved and
made available to owners or users of
this product and/or transferred to future
owners.
6. Any roof de-icing cable that is to be
connected to the RS2 must be installed
according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
7. Do not connect more than one roof
cable to the RS2. The maximum cable
size that can be connected to the RS2 is
1200 Watts. Risk of fire, electric shock or
the formation of ice dams can result from
a larger cable or from multiple cables
being connected.
