- Follow all design, installation, assembly, and test instructions carefully.
- To minimize the danger of fire from electrical arcing if the heating cable is damaged or improperly installed, ground fault equipment protection (GFEP) must be used on each heating cable branch circuit.
- Do not energize damaged heating cable. Repair or replace damaged heating cable prior to applying power.
- Disconnect all power before installing or servicing the heating cable and accessories.
- Self-regulating heating cable must be grounded properly in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC).
