• Has an on/off switch that has an indicator light (pilot light ). The
indicator light should be wired to light up when your cable is energized.
This will help you minimize energy consumption and make sure that
the cable is not energized in warm weather. Turning on the cable in
warm weather can cause it to overheat and may increase the risk of
fire or electric shock.
• Is protected from the weather. The connection between the
plug and receptacle must be protected from rain, snow or other
elements. You may use either:
— a receptacle in a location that is protected from the elements.
Sometimes an eave can provide adequate protection.
— a receptacle that has a weatherproof enclosure, similar to that
shown below. This type of enclosure is some times called an "in-use
receptacle cover."
• Is within 6 feet of the cable starting point on the roof. [Refer
to Planning Your Cable Arrangement on pages 8 – 11.] The power cord
of the cable is 6 feet long, and the remainder of the cable is heated.
Choosing a receptacle that is within 6 feet of the start point will make
sure that the heated portion of the cable is entirely on the roof. This
will also avoid contact by persons or equipment (such as yard tools)
that can move or damage the cable.
The use of a properly located receptacle will also eliminate the need
for an extension cord. Easy Heat recommends that you do not use
an extension cord with this cable. The use of an extension cord with
this cable may increase the risk of fire or electric shock.
Remember, there may be different or additional requirements related to
local or national codes and ordinances. Check with your local electrical
inspector or a licensed electrician if you are unsure about these codes and
ordinances.
