Low Voltage with Tuff Cable:

1. Rough-in Kit - This kit includes the cold lead, and a backplate for hanging the Control Unit. The backplate is attached to two wall studs and is heavy duty for hanging the components and transformer


2. Tuff Cable Heating Element - Tuff Cable Low Voltage heating element boasts a 25 Year Warranty and is used for melting snow on concrete and asphalt surfaces, pavers, brick, and more. The heating element is normally spaced between 4"- 6" depending on snow melting requirements of the project. The heating element is kept within 2" of the surface for maximum performance. Tuff Cable can be retrofit into existing concrete and asphalt and can be installed in new pour concrete, pavers, stone and other surfaces.


3. Control Unit - The Control Unit contains the brains of the system for Tuff Cable The Control Unit measures 17" wide, 12" tall and 9" deep. Each zone has a control unit that can melt snow in areas from 6 to 300 sqft. The advanced circuitry in the Control Unit regulates the system assuring safe, accurate, and optimal performance.


4. Transformer - The transformer is a step down transformer, which converts the line voltage (208, 240 or 277V) to low voltage (65V or less) and powers the heating element. Transformers vary in size depending on the heating element load.


5. Activation Devices - There are many different activation devices to choose from like timers, aerial mounted snow switches, pavement mounted sensors. Some of these detect moisture and temperature, some are manual activation devices, and some sense only temperature. Depending on whether system automation is important to your application, one of our specialists can help you select which activation device will be best for you.

Line Voltage with Hott-Wire:

1. Relay Panel - The M330 Relay Panel is a controller for these systems. This relay panel can activate up to 4 zones of Hott-Wire. Relay panels can have 30AMP Relays or 50AMP relays. Relay panels activate with most Heatizon activation devices.


2. Hott-Wire Heating Element - Hott-Wire Line Voltage heating elements boast a 10 Year Warranty and are used for melting snow on concrete and asphalt surfaces, pavers, brick, and more. The heating element is normally spaced between 6 "- 9" depending on snow melting requirements of the project. The heating element is kept within 2" of the surface for maximum performance. Hott-Wire can be retrofit into existing concrete and asphalt and can be installed in new pour concrete, new pour asphalt, pavers, stone and other surfaces.
