Welcome to ProMelt Electric Snow melting
SunTouch ProMelt products are a simple way to eliminate snow and ice from surfaces. This instruction manual is
provided as a guide to installing ProMelt Mat and ProMelt Cable, including design considerations, mat and cable
installation, control installation, precautions, and surfacing guidelines.
Specifications for ProMelt Mat:
ProMelt Mat is a complete heating mat consisting of a series resistance heating cable and a single power lead for easy
single-point connection. The heating cable is pre-formed into a mat to provide consistent spacing and quick roll-out
installation on the job site. The heating mat length cannot be cut to fit.
