1. Test The System at Every Stage of Installation

Test the snow melting cables with an ohmmeter and megohmmeter as soon as they arrive from WarmlyYours.

Please see the “Testing” section in this Manual for testing procedures.

2. Prior to Digging

Contact a local utility locating/marking rm to make sure the project won’t run into any gas, water, or electrical

lines. Once that’s done, locate the area to be heated, and then mark the cable layout in that area according to

the SmartPlan.

The recommended approach to marking the installation area, is to spray paint the start and the end of the area

with clearly visible lines. Follow the spacing provided on the installation plan and mark the cuts with a chalk line.

Ensure uniform spacing and verify the number of cuts as per the installation plan.

Pro Tip: While the chalk marking string is on the surface, spray paint over the string to mark the position of the

saw cuts. This will prevent the lines from washing away and will provide a clear identication to ensure evenly-

spaced and straight cuts.

3. Preparing for Junction Boxes

Depending on the size and location of the project, it may require the use of one or more junction boxes.

The junction box serves as an intermediary connection location between the heating element itself and the snow

melting relay panel or chosen control. Making sure to establish the location of the junction boxes early-on will

allow smooth progress through all subsequent steps of the installation.

By reviewing the WarmlyYours SmartPlan, the electrician will be able to identify the junction box location.

Make sure to mark and cut additional lines for exit points for the non-heating leads in the concrete slab or

asphalt. Please note that the cold leads of the heating cables must be protected by approved conduit as they

exit the driveway and travel to the junction boxes.
