Installation Instructions

PLAN CABLE ROUTING
z Before installing cable, ensure that all surfaces on which the Heating Cable will lie are free of any sharp edges, debris or other restric-
tions that may cut or otherwise damage the heating cable.
z Carefully measure and locate the mid-point of the Heated Area (NOTE: This may differ from the linear mid-point from one end of the
room to the other). This will be a useful reference line later, as it should coincide with the "Half of Cable Marker". Using a chalk line or
a heavy-tip marker, straight edge and square, mark the ‘half of heated area’ line. (Figure 3a)
