SAFETY INFORMATION AND WARNINGS
Pilot Duty
The GF Pro snow and ice control cannot be used
for Pilot Duty applications.
Resistive Load Usage Only
This product is not for use with Inductive loads.
Inductive loads may create nuisance tripping of
the Ground Fault Protection Circuit.
Abnormal Odor or Smoke
In the event of smoke or a burning or abnormal
odor, immediately interrupt power to the unit by
turning off the circuit breaker protecting the unit.
Electrical Shock / Fire Hazard
Even when the heat tapes are disconnected, as
long as the circuit breaker is on and power is
running to the unit, voltage is still being applied
to the yellow heat tape leads. Therefore, never
touch the ends of the yellow leads or let the
two leads touch each other. Do not let the two
yellow heat tape leads contact any component
inside the unit.
Any installation involving electric heater wiring must
be grounded to earth to protect against shock and re
hazard. Suitable ground fault detection and interrupting
systems must be in use at all times to reduce shock and
re hazard and to protect equipment.
Electric wiring to heating elements must be installed
in accordance with National Electrical Code (NEC)
requirements, as well as all other local and applicable
electrical codes and any third party standards. Follow the
installation instructions contained in this manual and also
those provided by the heater manufacturer.
Size the circuit breaker in accordance with the size of the
expected load. The maximum current load for the GF
Pro is 30 Amp resistive. This product is intended for use
in residential or light commercial applications. For larger
or more critical installations, the “APS” Series of control
panels from ETI, provides a cost-effective solution offering
enhanced system design and performance features.
Make certain that the heater shield is properly grounded.
Failure to do so may result in damage to equipment or re.
Following installation and prior to beginning system
operation, refer to and perform the Post-Installation Tests
described in this manual.
