4.5 Installation of concrete heating cables – OWC-R series
1. Before removing the product from the box, take
the resistance and cable insulation details compare them
to the factory results on line #1 of the measurement chart
on the electrical panel label.
Note: The security seal from Ouellet Canada Inc.
guarantees the integrity of the cable in the box. Once
the seal is broken, the customer becomes responsible
for the integrity of the cable during the installation
process. Please follow instructions carefully and adhere
to recommended safety measures.
2. Remove the material from the box (cable, fasteners,
fault indicator, temperature sensor).
3. Install the cable duct for the cold lead at the pre-determined location, (where the cable mat will be unrolled).
4. Feed the cold lead into the cable duct making sure the mechanical connection between the cold lead and
the heating cable remains outside the cable duct by at least 12” (30 cm). There should be no part of the
heating cable found near the cable duct.
ATTENTION! There should be no part of the heating cable found near the cable duct or inside the wall.
5. Install the electrical fault indicator in compliance with instructions, at the end of the cold lead.
6. Hang the cold lead and electrical fault indicator, using string or a hook, from one of the ceiling joists or other
element so it is close at hand but making sure it doesn’t obstruct the installation process.
Note: Make sure the cold lead is long enough to reach the thermostat or junction box.
7. Switch the electric fault indicator ON.
Note: If the electrical fault indicator rings during the installation, immediately postpone the heating cable
installation and contact Ouellet Canada’s technical specialists.
