Safety
Make all electrical connections in compliance with the National Electrical Code
(NFPA 70) and local electrical code. If you have questions concerning the installation
or application, contact Customer Service.
Abnormal Odor or Smoke
In the event of smoke or a burning or abnormal odor, immediately interrupt
power to the unit by unplugging the unit or by turning off the circuit breaker protect-
ing the unit.
Electrical Shock / Fire Hazard
Even when the snow melting elements are disconnected, as long as the circuit
breaker is on and power is running to the unit, voltage is still being applied to the
system’s yellow leads. Therefore, never touch the ends of the yellow leads or let the
two leads touch each other. Do not let the two yellow leads contact any component
inside the unit.
Any installation involving electric heater wiring must be grounded to earth to
protect against shock and fire hazard. Suitable ground fault detection and interrupting
systems must be in use at all times to reduce shock and fire hazard and to protect
equipment.
Electric wiring to heating elements must be installed in accordance with National
Electrical Code (NEC) requirements and all other local and applicable electrical codes
and any third party standards. Follow the installation instructions contained herein and
those provided by the heater manufacturer.
Use a GFEP (Ground Fault Equipment Protection) circuit breaker on each branch
circuit connected to the ice melting system. Clearly label each circuit breaker with its
function. This is vitally important when there is more than a single point of disconnect.
Size the circuit breaker in accordance with the size of the expected load. The
maximum current load for the LCD-8 is 16 Amp resistive. This product is intended for
use in residential or light commercial applications.
Make certain that the heater shield is properly grounded. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the equipment or fire.
Following installation and prior to beginning system operation, refer to and perform
the Post-Installation Tests (page12) described in this manual.
