26 HEATING CABLE TESTS LOG
Each heating cable is subject to factory quality control. However, damage to the cables may happen after the product leaves the factory.
In order to ensure that the cable quality remains unchanged throughout the installation process and for warranty purposes, tests must be
conducted while the cable is still on the spool and during two specific subsequent steps. Measurements must be recorded in the table below
and compared to initial measurements taken when the cable was on the spool in order to enable you to detect any changes related to the
electrical property of the cable. Any installation-related cable damages are not covered by the warranty.
Homeowner/end user must retain this heating cable tests log for warranty purposes.
