Concrete Heating System Specifications ---PAGE BREAK--- TEMPERED GLASS ---PAGE BREAK--- READ CAREFULLY • Read and follow all instructions carefully. • As with all electrical apparatus, misuse or damage during installation or operation could cause a potentially hazardous situation. For additional information concerning the use or installation of this equipment, contact Easy Heat immediately. • All installations must conform to Article 426 of the National Electrical Code or Part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code and the paver manufacturer's instructions and the guidelines of the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (lCPI), Tech Spec Number 12. DESCRIPTION Easy Heat Sno*Melter Mats are designed to melt snow and ice in outdoor locations, such as driveways, parking ramps, sidewalks, steps, etc. The mats are expected to be completely embedded in asphalt or concrete surfaces. For other types of surface materials, contact Easy Heat for application advice. Easy Heat Snow Melting mats can be installed under pavers. The intended installations are residential walks, patios, and driveways. For heavier duty commercial applications, please consult Easy Heat. Sno*Melter mats contain an electrical heating element designed to provide a fixed amount of heat. When connected to appropriate system voltage, and when a system control detects the presence of ice or snow, Sno*Melter mats are energized. Then, heat from Sno*Melter mats increases the surface temperature of the pavement to above freezing, melting snow or ice on the surface. When controlled by Easy Heat controls, Sno*Melter mats provide economical and reliable snow and ice melting performance. Sno*Melter mats are embedded in conjunction with the paving installation. Some control and accessory devices may also require installation at this same time. Sno*Melter mats are comprised of a single length of heating cable formed into a rectangular shape (except custom mats can be almost any shape) and secured in this shape by polymer carrier strands fused to the cable. Cold leads are factory connected to the mat and are available in various to suit the location of electrical connection boxes. Sno*Melter mats are available in both standard and custom sizes (length, width, power, voltage, etc.). Thermal insulation is not required beneath Sno*Melter mats, but will improve the performance and operating cost efficiency of the installation by reducing back losses. Consult with architect/ engineer to ensure structural integrity of any thermal insulation. PLANNING P1. INFORMATION Each installation must have a Mat Layout Plan (MLP) and Mat Wiring Plan (MWP) prior to beginning the installation. This information will ensure that all necessary mats are available at the site prior to paving, and that all mats correspond to the installation requirements (shape, power supply voltage, etc.). The MLP must clearly identify the following: • location and tag number of each mat • routing of cold leads for each mat • location of all junction boxes • routing of all conduit • location of all controls/sensors • location of all drains, pipes, and similar obstructions. • pavement type • expansion and control joints • areas which may be drilled in the future for fastening of surface mounted structures, such as hand railings, signs, bollards, parking bumpers, etc. The MWP must clearly identify the following: • connection details of heat mats, controls/sensors and power supply • identification of each mat, control/sensor,junction box, etc. • branch circuit ratings. Contact Easy Heat if this information is not available or is incomplete. P2. MAT SIZES The Sno*Melter mat layout must be designed to cover the area to be protected, and allowance must be made for obstructions, such as light poles, expansion joints, control joints, etc. In some cases such obstructions can be accommodated by modifying mat shape see “Mat Shape Alterations” Figures, 3 & 4. ©2008 Easy Heat www.easyheat.com 11001-128 Rev. 9 US T. (800) 537-4732 / F. (888) 324-2440 CAN T. (800) 794-3766 / F. (800) 361-4574 SNO*MELTER Mat Installation Instructions ---PAGE BREAK--- P5. WIRING Appropriate wiring of all mats must be completed according to the Mat Wiring Plan (MWP). Conduit must be used to protect the non-heating leads at the exit from the installation area to the junction boxes, All necessary conduit and other wiring devices to be installed within the surface must be available prior to beginning mat/ surface installation. P6. JUNCTION BOXES/CONDUIT In most cases the ideal location for junction boxes is indoors with at least 18” (450mm) of accessible mat leads within the box. When planning the location of the junction boxes it is important that at least one foot (300mm) of mat cold lead remains embedded in the asphalt or pavement. Junction boxes and conduit should be located so that they can accommodate the maximum number of mat leads expected to be routed to/ through them. Insulating bushing must be used to protect the cold lead where it enters conduit. P7. CONTROLS/WIRING Controls/wiring must be installed according to the MWP and MLP. (Some controls include devices required to be installed in the heated surface). All wiring must conform to Local and National Electrical Codes. If the mats are controlled simply by manual electrical switches, it is recommended that a pilot lamp be installed on the load side of each switch so that there is a visual indication when the mats are energized. P8. ASPHALT/CONCRETE INSTALLATION The pavement must be installed in accordance with proper construction practices, including allowance for drainage, reinforcement,etc. Improper pavement installations can result in unstable surfaces which can crack/move and break mat heating cables; warranty is void in such situations. Concrete installations must not contain aggregate greater than .75”(20mm). STANDARD MAT DESIGN P3. MAT LAYOUT Mats must be laid in accordance with the Mat Layout Plan (MLP) to which they were manufactured: this plan must be available at the job site. Identify location for expansion and control joints. Mats must not be positioned through expansion and control joints. Concrete forms may be inaccurate, so allow 2-4” (50-100mm) on each side of the mats for clearance. Allow approximately 4 inches (100mm) between adjacent mats at expansion and control joints. For asphalt, mats must be placed at least 12” (300mm) in from edges to accommodate variations in edging. Adjacent mats may be positioned within 2” (50mm), but must not touch or overlap. Mats must not be placed under areas to be drilled in the future for fastening of surface mounted structures, such as hand railings. P4. CONTROL/EXPANSION JOINTS Control joints are typically indentations in a concrete surface along which cracks are intended to form. The indentations may be formed by special trowel prior to hardening of the concrete, or by cutting with a special concrete saw after concrete has set. Cracking at control joints and subsequent movement of adjacent sections could damage a mat crossing a control joint; therefore, mats must not be intentionally positioned through control joints. In case of unintentional shifting of mats during pour, control joints must not be sawn closer than one inch (25mm) above mats to ensure that mat heater cable is not damaged by the saw. Expansion joints are, typically, formal separations between sections of concrete, with some flexible material forming the separation which then absorbs any thermal expansion in the concrete section. Movement of adjacent sections could damage a mat crossing an expansion joint, hence, mats must not be positioned through expansion joints.

(800) 361-4574 Sno*Melter Mat Installation Instructions ---PAGE BREAK--- The distance from the finished surface to the level at which the mats are placed is defined as the “mat placement depth.” The mat placement depth must not be greater than 3½” (90mm) (to ensure adequate surface heating) nor less than 1½” (40mm) (Canadian installations are subject to a 2” (50mm) minimum in concrete and 1” (25mm) minimum in asphalt) to ensure complete containment of the mats within the surface covering as shown in Figure 2. Typically, a base layer of concrete is poured and leveled, then the mats are immediately positioned, and then the remaining concrete is poured. It is also possible to allow the base layer of concrete to set, then position the mats and complete the pour. If the second pour is inordinately delayed, a binder or binding agent should be employed to minimize shear plane formation. Asphalt installations must not contain aggregate larger than 3/8” (10mm) and must be delivered to the job site at a temperature less than 340°F (170°C)—larger aggregate and/ or higher temperatures will damage cable and result in failure. Typically, a base layer of asphalt is laid and allowed to set, then the mats are positioned, and then the final layer of asphalt is laid. (It is also possible to lay mats on an existing layer of asphalt that is being resurfaced). The mats must be located between 3½” and 1½” (90mm and 40mm) (Canadian installations are subject to a 2” (50mm) minimum in concrete and 1” (25mm) minimum in asphalt) of the finished surface to ensure adequate surface heating. CAUTION Extreme care must be used when machinery such as wheelbarrows, rollers, front-end loaders, tractors, paving machines, etc., is involved in the installation of heating cables/ mats in asphalt or concrete surfaces. Such machinery must not have cleats of any type nor metal tracking of any type, as such cleats/tracking can sink into the asphalt and contact the mat, possibly damaging the cable. CAUTION The use of sharp implements, such as rakes, shovels, etc., is usually required during surface installations. However, unless care is taken, these can damage mats during installation. All workers must be advised to avoid contacting the mats with such implements, and that, if they do, the mat must be immediately checked for damage. CAUTION Do not route wheelbarrows, rollers, trucks, etc. over uncovered mats. It is recommended that workers not walk on the mats. When mats are installed on rebar or in other situations where weight on the mats would be highly concentrated, damage to the cable is possible that would result in immediate or later operational failure. P9. ELECTRICAL INSPECTION Local electrical inspectors may require inspection prior to, during and/or after surface installation. Be certain that they are contacted prior to beginning mat installation. P10. IDENTIFICATION Electrical panels and controls must be identified as to their snow melting function. Snow melting areas must be identified by clearly visible signs or marking. Pavement identification nameplates are available from Easy Heat (Part Number contact Easy Heat for details. CAUTION Do not use admixtures or chemical compounds that may be harmful to copper or PVC. CAUTION Sno*Melter units are approved for use in wet locations. The heater-to-cold-lead wire splices made at the factory are designed and tested to be waterproof. To ensure a completely waterproof installation, it is also important that all field connections must be waterproof. The use of approved exterior type junction boxes, fittings and bushings plus care in waterproofing splices will assure a reliable and trouble-free electric performance. CAUTION It is required that all products Listed by UL and CSA be properly identified. Therefore, if the leads on these mats are shortened, ensure that a minimum 6” (150mm) of cold lead with the identification tag is retained within the junction box. MAT SHAPE ALTERATIONS Mats may be tailored to follow contours of curves and other obstructions by making a series of cuts to the mat carrier strands as shown in Figures 3 & 4. Extreme care should be exercised to prevent cutting the mat heater wire during this operation. M1. Start all cuts on the side opposite the cold lead and cut strands towards the cold lead side. M2. To make a curve, cut strands as shown in Figure 4. The number of strand cuts will depend on the mat length and surface curvature. In the same way, mat shape can be altered to form a wider block pattern or to go around an object. See illustrations. To ensure adequate heating, do not allow cable spacing at outer edge of curve to be more than 2 times the standard cable spacing. INCREASE MAT WIDTH Mats can be cut to form a wider block pattern as shown, or to make corners as below. CORNERS Do not allow heater wire to overlap or touch.

EXCAVATION/INSULATION Excavate and compact surface area and, if applicable, install appropriate thermal insulation. Complete surface area preparation. S2. WIRING/CONTROLS Lay mats in position according to the MLP. Install all wiring, conduit and control devices associated with the surface installation and according to the MLP and MWP. Do not connect power supply at this time. Conduits must extend into surface to ensure no wiring is exposed. Position all control/sensors to be installed within the surface and connect all wiring/conduit. If necessary, provide appropriate protection for these devices during surface installation. S3. INITIAL TESTING The continuity and insulation resistance of each mat must be tested prior to paving. Record readings on Installation Test Record Form included with this instruction. CONCRETE SLAB FIGURE 5 Copper braids joined to equipment ground conductor 11/2" Minimum Sno*Melter Mat(s) JUNCTION BOX ABOVE GRADE Concrete Slab Power supply conduit Gravel Base Expansion or Control Joint (expansion joint shown) Reinforcing Rods 4" 4" Connect a megger between the copper grounding braid and the inner conductor on one lead of a mat. Ensure the other lead of the mat is isolated and that the heating element is not in contact with the ground braid. Set the megger at 500 V (minimum) and measure the resistance. The resistance must be 10 Megohms minimum. This test assures that the mat has not been damaged during shipment or subsequent handling. Next connect an ohmmeter between the inner conductors of the two leads of the mat. Measure the resistance of the mat. Be certain that the mat resistance is appropriate for the marked wattage and voltage. Repeat above test for each mat used in the installation. S4. CONNECTIONS Position all mats associated with the surface installation according to the MLP and MWP. Thread mat cold lead wires through conduit into associated junction box. Lay mats in position to check original layout and spacing. Leave sufficient slack in lead wires to permit handling of mats. Lay mats aside temporarily to allow for installation of base layer of surface material. If necessary, provide protection for any controls which may get damaged or dislocated during pour.

(800) 361-4574 Sno*Melter Mat Installation Instructions ---PAGE BREAK--- INSTALLATION UNDER PAVERS CAUTION Carefully follow the paver manufacturer's instructions and the guidelines of the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (OCPI), Tech Spec Number 12, for installing electric snow melting mats under pavers. CAUTION Do not install a mat within the compacted aggregate base, as this may damage the mat and result in mat failure and will void the warranty. CAUTION Do not install a mat in a concrete base under pavers, as this may not provide sufficient heat or may result in a much longer time to melt any snow or ice. CAUTION It is highly recommended that an experienced paver contractor do the paver installation in coordination with an elec trical contractor for the mat installation. Paver design and instal lation varies with local climate, materials, soil conditions including drainage, and expected use loads. V1. BASE PREPARATION Proper preparation of the soil and aggregate base and the use of edge restraints to prevent loss of sand are critical. Loss of sand may result in mat failure. V2. MAT PREPARATION Secure the mat to a wire fabric (not provided) with nylon cable ties attached to the WHITE MAT STRANDS ONLY wherever pos sible. If ties must be used on the black heating cable, leave loose, DO NOT fully tighten or the tie may cut into the cable and result in failure of mat in operation. V3. MAT INSTALLATION Lay the mats on top of either the compacted aggregate base (patio/walkway type installation) or the concrete base (drive way type installation) and cover with sand as shown. The mat heating cable and splice to the non-heating leads must be fully contained in the sand bed. Typical installation cross sections for a residential sidewalk or patio figure 8, and a driveway, figure 9 are shown. V4. FINAL TESTING Retest mats according to initial testing (S3). WIRING CONNECTIONS When the surface is cured, connections to the controls and power supply can be completed according to the MWP. The MWP and MLP must be maintained for future reference. WARNING: All lead wires of all mats contain identification labels when shipped from the factory. This identification must be maintained within all connection boxes to ensure ease of identification of individual mats at any time in the future. a IDENTIFICATION Apply warning labels “CAUTION – ELECTRIC SNOW AND ICE MELTING” to power supply and adjacent to the heated surface. MAINTENANCE Surfaces should be inspected annually for cracks, exposed cable, etc., and sealed as required with suitable cementitious or asphalt-compatible material. Should grass or weeds develop in the gaps between pavers, care must be taken when using toold to remove them or the mat may be damaged. www.easyheat.com US T. (800) 537-4732 / F.

Sno*Melter® Mats from EasyHeat keep your walks and driveways clear of snow and ice – the easy way. Snow and ice make walking difficult, at best, and are a primary cause of slip-and-fall accidents. Sno*Melter Mats are a simpler and safer method of protection for homes and businesses. Sno*Melter Mats are easy to install under concrete or pavers. When connected to optional controls that detect moisture and freezing temperatures, they work from the very beginning of each winter storm to help prevent the accumulation of snow and ice. Energy-efficient Sno*Melter Mats are available in sizes that cover from 5 to 130 sq ft using a single mat. Depending on the voltage available and configuration, mats can easily be combined and tailored to cover your unique walk, stair, patio and driveway configuration. Simply select the mat to fit your area, follow the installation instructions to install then connect the mat. You can rely on your EasyHeat system to provide years of reliable service. ---PAGE BREAK--- Cost Effective Way to Remove Ice and Snow. Operating costs for your area will depend upon the total hours of snowfall and upon the heating capacity you specify. Our recommended nominal heat density of 538 Watts per square meter (50 Watts per square foot) provides quick response time, especially when used with automatic control. In most cases, snow will melt at a rate that keeps up with average snowfall, minimizing accumulation of snow on the heated surface. In a heavy snowfall, when snow accumulates at a faster rate, extra heating time will be required for complete removal. An automatic control, set to allow additional running time after snowfall stops, ensures dry pavement and minimizes icy spots. Electric snow melting systems are a practical, economical way of preventing the buildup of ice and snow on steps, walkways, driveways, parking areas, loading docks and even roads. Compare electric mats with traditional snow removal methods: 1. No damage to concrete or asphalt from salt or other chemicals. 2. No messy buildup of sand. 3. No waiting for snow-clearing service personnel. 4. No investment in snowblowers, shovels, plows, and other expensive equipment. 5. Minimal labor costs. 6. There are no moving parts. Properly installed mats provide trouble-free service as long as the pavement or concrete in which they are embedded in is not disturbed or damaged.
