Installation Guide

3
Before installing and operating this product, the user and the installer must read, understand and follow these instructions to avoid bodily harm
or property damages, serious injuries and potentially fatal electric shocks. Keep them handy for future reference. If these instructions are not
followed, the warranty will be considered null and void and the manufacturer will assume no further liability for this product.
When a part of the product specications must be changed to improve operability or other functions, priority is given to the product specica-
tions themselves. Therefore, the actual product and packaging, as well as the name and product illustrations, may differ from the manual.
Make sure the tension and wattage indicated on the product packaging match the project specications of your customized cable layout plan
drawn up in the Planning and Design section and the product specications outlined in the following section.
Be sure to follow these instructions. Failure to do so could cause a re hazard and damage the system.
This product must be installed by a qualied person according to the instructions in this installation guide. All electric connections
must be made by a qualied electrician, according to the electrical (Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 or National Electrical Code) and
building codes effective in your region.
This heating cable is designed for indoor oor heating applications in which the heating section of the cable, including the cable
splice, is embedded in a mortar-type layer or thin-set under a oor covering.
Cut off power supply at circuit breaker or fuse before installing or repairing the product.
Minimum temperature for cable installation is 5°C.
The product must be exposed to room temperature for a minimum period of 30 minutes prior to installation.
Do not power the heating cable while it is on the spool. Otherwise, it will overheat and become damaged, which may cause a re.
Never cut or modify heating cables or their connections. This would change the cable resistance and may lead to overheating and
damage to the cable.
This cable must be grounded and connected to a class A (5 mA) ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in Canada and the United
States for all rooms.
The heating cable must not extend beyond the room or space from which it originates.
The heating section of the cable must not pass through or be installed in a wall. The same applies to the cable splice.
Always keep a minimum of three spaces between cable runs. Failure to do so may result in a re or damage to the oor covering.
The product must not be submitted to longitudinal stress on the cable splice or on the heating cable itself.
The minimum radius of cable curvature is 13 mm (1/2 inch).
Avoid folding the heating cable on itself, this could damage its sheath and the internal wires.
Never modify the unit. You will be held responsible for any damage resulting from this modication, and the warranty and the CSA
certication will be void.
Do not walk on the cable splices, and do not fold them.
Do not power the heating cables before they are covered with concrete, asphalt or mortar (even to test them).
Wait until the cement or mortar is completely dry before powering the heating cables (respect the curing period)
Never connect the cable to a circuit with higher voltage than its rated voltage. (Never install a cable designed for a 120 V power
source on a 240/208 V power source.)
Before powering the system, make sure electrical connections are secure.
Put the high- and low-voltage cables in separate conduits. (Note: With a °Stelpro thermostat, you can put the sensor in the same
conduit.)
WARNINGS
To avoid damaging the heating cable spool when removing it from the packaging, we
recommend you pick up the spool from underneath (A) or by the side (B) (by turning
the box over).
