The cable produces between 10 to 20Watts per sqft (100W to 200W/SQM) of heating, depending on the spacing of the cable(see Sizing Guide at the back of the manual). The product is CSA approved.ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONSBefore installing the heating cable, a suitable 120V/240V electrical supply must belocated. The heating system requires a GFCI [ground fault circuit interrupter], either inthe breaker box OR in the thermostat. The wiring must be capable of the load requiredby the thermostat. All electrical installations must be carried out by a qualified electricianin accordance with local building and electrical codes, the NEC (especially article 424,part V of the NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70 in the US) or the CEC Part I (in Canada).The installation of more than one cable will require ALL the cold tails to be connectedto the thermostat in parallel and NOT series. Installations involving more than 2 heatingcables may require a junction box. The cold tail consists of three (3) wires: live; neutraland ground. These should all be connected within the thermostat. Caution should betaken to ensure that the combination of heaters does not exceed the maximum 15amps supplied by the thermostat - see Heater Sizing & Wiring Spacing Guide on theback cover for amperage calculations.The heating cable must not be cut or shortened or subjected to strain.The cold tail can be shortened if required.NOTE: it is required that power to this product is supplied by a thermostat and GFCI.ALL electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified electrician.ALL electrical regulations must be observed, including national and local codes.3
