It is important to plan the cable layout before any installation begins. Making a drawing of the roof
and then chalking the cable locations on the roof surface may be helpful. Remember to always exercise
caution when on a ladder or roof. See Appendix A to determine cable lengths required.
1. Choose your start point:
To protect the cable from damage and to ensure personal safety, do not start the cable layout close to
doorways, entrance areas or sidewalks etc.
Your starting point may already be determined depending on the location of the electric supply outlet.
2. Roof Pattern:
Different cable patterns exist for different areas of the roof. Not always will all areas need to be heated in
your particular situation. Follow the instructions and illustrations for each area requiring heating.
