Heating Cable Installation
Prior to starting installation:
• Test the heating cable insulation resistance to confirm that the
heating cable has not been damaged during shipping (see
Electrical Testing, Pages 15-16). All cable has been factory tested
prior to shipment.
• Visually check the components for damage.
• Make sure that all material is included as indicated on the Packing
Slip.
• Make sure that you will be using a ground-fault equipment
protection device (GFEPDs) with a 30mA trip level to power the
circuit. Nuisance tripping can occur if you use 5mA trip level
ground fault interrupters (GFIs) even with undamaged heating
cable.
• Protect the heating cable ends from moisture and mechanical
damage if they will be left exposed before connection.
• Compare the heating cable received with the design voltage
required to ensure the heating cable is right for your installation.
The voltage is clearly marked on the heating cable.
• Compare the design circuit lengths with the heating cable lengths
received in order to minimize the need for splicing.
• Ensure that the heating cable required does not exceed the
maximum circuit length for the voltage and circuit breaker rating to
be used (see page 29).
WARNING: Take special care to protect the heating cable and outer jacket
from damage when routing through the PRO Base and Valley Base panels
and adjacent roofing and flashings. To optimize energy efficiency, heating
cable clearances within slots are very tight. Pre-bending the heating cable
by hand is recommended prior to installation and will enable an easier, safer
installation. Damaged heating cable must be replaced or properly repaired prior to
installing PRO Cover Panel.
