Jacuzzi Dome For Shower Surround System None - Manual (Page 4)

WARNING!
READ BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH
THESE WARNINGS OR FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PROVIDED WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR
DEATH FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE. IT MAY ALSO RESULT IN CABLE
FAILURE OR IMPROPER SYSTEM OPERATION.
1. Heating Cable must not touch, cross or overlap itself at any point. This could cause the cable
to overheat, requiring replacement.
2. Do not energize coiled heating cable.
3. Do not install heating cable under carpet, vinyl composition or linoleum type floors, solid
hardwood flooring or any type of nailed-down wood flooring. Floor nailing will irreparably
damage the cable, void warranty and may result in physical injury or risk of fire. Do not use this
system for other types of applications; contact Jacuzzi for professional advice.
4. Electrical inspection may be required before, during and/or after installation of the Jacuzzi floor
warming system. Your electrical inspector should verify that the box you have chosen is of
adequate size and if conduit is required for cold leads. Contact your local electrical inspection
authority for more information.
5. Do not alter the length of the heating cable to suit a floor area larger or smaller than the
recommended range for that cable. Physical injury or fire may result if altered and will void the
warranty. Only the Cold Lead (black cable connected to the heating cable) may be cut to suit the
location of the Electrical Connection Box (ECB). Refer to Fig.1 on page 7.
6. The entire heating cable, the Cold Lead Splice and Tail Splice must be embedded in a cement-
based underlayment.
7. In cases where the floor is routinely expected to be wet, such as tiled showers, it is recommended
that a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), or equivalent, be installed, in addition to a suitable
water impermeable covering. Consult your local electrical and/or building authorities for more
information.
8. If the system is connected to a GFCI (or equivalent) which trips during normal operation, and
cannot be reset, there is likely a fault in the heating cable. No attempt should be made to re-
energize the system. Under no circumstances should the GFCI be bypassed — contact Jacuzzi
for advice.
9. These instructions have been prepared for use with standard North American building
construction practices.
In every case, consult an appropriate electrical professional.
10. Do not bend the heating cable at right angles; minimum bending radius is 3/4".
11. Do not use staples to affix cold lead, heating cables or thermostat sensor wire, as this could
puncture the heating cable and cause a system failure. Use only the plastic clips provided.
