3.3 Plan the design*
Determine the optimum SnowMeltz® Mat layout for the heated area to ensure coverage.
Determine where the cold lead (20 foot) will join to a junction box, panel, or activation device.
When installing multiple systems, be sure to plan layout for multiple cold leads being run to the
same location. Use included grid (back of the manual) to layout the SnowMeltz® system(s).
3. SnowMeltz® Installation Design
3.1 Gathering Site Information
•
Size and layout of area - Be sure to properly measure the area to be installed to ensure the
proper sized SnowMeltz® system has been purchased. Also plan how power will be run to the
area and/or met to the cold lead(s).
• Geographic Location - Depending on the geographic location of the installation area, some
adjustments made have to be made during the installation, such as: layout configuration,
drainage, heat output, obstacles, etc.
• Cover or cap material and thickness (1.5” minimum) - SnowMeltz® MUST be embedded in either
concrete, asphalt, or sand underneath pavers, ensure the system is at least 1.5 inches from surface.
3.2 Determine the Voltage and Amperage
The available supply voltages include 208V, 240V, and 277V.
Ensure based on the voltage and size of system(s) being used,
that there is enough available amperage available.
Important: Operating SnowMeltz® at
voltages they are not designed for will
damage the system and void the warranty.
