Install Instructions

Heating cable control options and power connection.
For 120 Volt cables, the heating cable can be simply
plugged into a ground fault protected electrical recep-
tacle, or the Easy Heat HCP1 Cable Sentry, when icing
conditions are present on the roof. The (optional) Easy
Heat RS-2 Roof Sentry (120 Volt) control can be used to
automatically ensure cables are energized only when
icing conditions are present on the roof, minimizing
energy consumption and extending cable life.
For 240 Volt cables, the cable is designed to be directly
connected into an appropriate electrical connection box.
Since it will be necessary to remove power from the cable
from time to time, such as in summer, always connect
the cable to an appropriate double-pole electrical switch.
If the heating cable is the only load on the circuit, the
branch circuit breaker may be used to disconnect power
from the cable (switch is not necessary). Several auto-
matic controls are available from Easy Heat.
aAlways connect a pilot light into the circuit of 240V
cables to indicate when the cables are energized.
Testing the system. Once the installation is complete,
apply power to the heating cable; the surface of the
cable will feel warm after about 15 minutes.
Operation. If no automatic controls are installed,
energize the cable only when icing conditions are
present on the roof, and de-energize when icing con-
ditions are no longer present. For 120 Volt models only,
the power cord plug contains a pilot light indicating
that power is being applied to the cable. Ensure power
is removed from the cable/control in summer.
a Maintenance. Check cable annually for any
damage, such as nicks or cuts possibly caused by
animals or other activity on the roof. Check any ground
fault protection devices for proper operation. Remove
all debris (leaves, twigs, pine needles, etc.) from roof,
gutters and downspouts prior to energizing the roof
cable. Do not attempt to energize the roof cable if any
of these problems are discovered.
