Yukon Embedded Ice and Snow Melting System - Installation Guidelines: The Yukon Embedded Ice and Snow Melting System consista of the Yukon Snow Event Sensor and Snow Melting Devise Controller (Controller), heating cables or heating mats and multiple digitally operated sensors, which provide an economical and efficient means of snow melting and ice protection. Built for outdoor use, the Yukon Embedded Ice and Snow Melting System provides safety and peace of mind to home owners and business owners and property managers. Engineered for surfaces such as asphalt, concrete and paviung tiles, the Yukon Embedded Ice and Snow Melting System is both versatile and easy to install. The Yukon Embedded Ice and Snow Melting System operates automatically by digitally sensing moisture and temperature.
The Yukon Embedded Ice and Snow Melting System is installed during the paving installation, such that some control and accessories must also be installed at this time.
It is recommended to install thermal insulation below the application of the heating cables or heating mats. Improved performance and efficiency will decrease overall operating costs.
CAUTION: It is important that this equipment is installed only by qualified electricians who are familiar with the proper sizing, installation, construction and operation of outdoor heating systems and the hazards involved. The Yukon Embedded Ice and Snow Melting System is designed for outdoor ice and snow melting applications only.
NOTE: The installation shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and national and local electrical codes. The installation shall be in accordance with Part 426, American National Institute / National Fire Protection Association (ANSI/NFPA 70), National Electrical Code (NEC) and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), Part 1. You must use a ground fault protection device (GFCI) or a Residual Current Device (RCD) for outdoor areas.
Yukon Ice and Snow Melting Mats - are one of the building blocks of the Yukon Embedded Ice and Snow Melting System, which is designed to economically reduce the overall burden of the snow removal process while, at the same time, minimizing the usual deleterious effects of that process on the environment by allowing walkways and driveways to be made safe and free of snow and ice complications without the need for salt and chemicals so harmful to the earth and the natural way of things.
