Danfoss GX Snow Melting System
The GX Snow Melting System consists of the GX 850 Automatic Control Panel (ACP), 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 GX system
provides safety and peace of mind to homeowners and business owners alike. Engineered for
surfaces such as asphalt, concrete and paving tiles the Danfoss GX Snow Melting System is both
versatile and easy to install. The Danfoss GX Snow Melting System operates automatically by
digitally sensing moisture and temperature.
The GX System is embedded 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
mats. Improved performance and efficiency will decrease overall operating costs.
CAUTION!
It is important that this equipment is only installed by qualified electricians who are familiar
with the proper sizing, installation, construction and operation of outdoor heating systems
and the hazards involved. The GX 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
Standard Institute / National Fire Protection Association (ANSI/NFPA70), National Electrical
Code (NEC) and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), Part 1. You must use a ground fault
equipment protection (GFEP) device for outdoor areas.
