Connecting To Electrical Power; Use & Maintenance Of The Cable; Monitoring The Cable During Use; If The Gfci Trips - EasyHeat 11001-118 Manuel Du Propriétaire

e. Connect to Electrical Power
Plug the cable into the electrical receptacle (see Electrical Safety, p. 4), using a portable
GFCI or extension cord as needed. Confirm that the light in the plug is illuminated—this
indicates that the cable has power.

This manual should be kept by the person in charge of using and maintaining the cable.
5. Use & Maintenance of the Cable
a. Monitoring the Cable During Use
If the cable doesn't have electrical power, it will not protect against freezing. There is a light in the plug that indicates
that the heating cable has power (even if it is not providing heat due to warm ambient temperature). It is a good idea to
check the indicator light regularly during cold weather. If this light is not on, check the power supply to the cable. See
How do I know whether the GFCI has tripped? (p. 5) for tips to make it easier to monitor your cable.
b. If the GFCI Trips
If the GFCI trips, this can indicate that the cable is damaged. See What should I do if the GFCI trips?
(p. 5).
c. Off-Season Instructions
Heating cable can remain installed year round. The thermostat will shut off the cable when heat is not needed.
d. Pre-Season and Monthly Checks
At the beginning of the heating season and monthly during operation, inspect the heating cable and its connection
to the electric power source. Be sure there is still no combustible material within 1/2 inch (13 mm) of the insulation
around the cable. If the insulation has been damaged, check the cable under the insulation. Stop using any cable that
has been cut, damaged, or immersed in water, or that shows any evidence of charring, cracking, or other deterioration.
Other conditions to look for are chewing by animals, debris thrown from lawnmower, or any physical abuse. The cable
cannot be repaired; it must be replaced if damaged.
