• Voltage: 100-120 VAC
• Wattage (Freeze Protection): 36 Watts
• Wattage (Roof Snow & Ice Removal): 48 Watts
• Watt Density: 6 W/ft (20 W/m) at 50°F (10°C)
• Maximum Maintain Temperature: 140°F (60°C)
• Minimum Operating Temperature: -40°F (-40°C)
• Power Cord: 6 ft (1.8m) long, 14 AWG power cord with a lighted NEMA 5-15 plug.
• Certifications: ETL Certified, CSA Safety Standards

HOW TO USE:

1. Inspect the Product: Before installation, visually inspect the cable for any signs of damage.
2. Determine Application Area: Identify the specific pipes, roof sections, or gutters that require freeze protection.
3. Secure the Cable: Attach the cable securely to the pipe, roof edge, or inside the gutter using appropriate clips or tape (sold separately) to ensure good contact. For pipes, spiral wrap or run it along the bottom of the pipe, ensuring full coverage. For roofs and gutters, follow manufacturer guidelines for proper routing to prevent ice dams and ensure drainage.
4. Connect to Power: Plug the pre-assembled lighted NEMA 5-15 plug into a standard GFCI-protected outlet. The lighted plug indicates power is supplied.
5. Test (Optional but Recommended): While the cable self-regulates, you can often feel a slight warmth when plugged in, especially in colder temperatures, confirming operation.
6. Monitor: The self-regulating nature means it will activate as temperatures drop and reduce output as they rise, providing continuous protection.

BENEFITS OF USING READYTRACE 6 FT. SELF-REGULATING HEAT TRACE CABLES (READYTRACE-006):
