PLEASE READ THESE INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION
1. The film is applied to the inside surface of a GLASS
window.
2. Installation should be done during daylight hours.
3. If window temperature is below 45˚f, a fan forced
heater should be used to keep the window
temperature warm during the installation and
drying period.
4. During squeegeeing, use strong pressure. The
more pressure that is applied, the more wetting
agent will be removed from behind the film. This
will help reduce the drying time.
5. Handle the film with care. Do not bend or crease.
6. After installation, dime sized air bubbles may
appear around the electrical studs. This is normal
and will be able to be flattened out after the film has
dried.
7. During the drying process, fogging or cloudiness
will appear. This is normal and as the film begins to
dry streaks will appear.
8. Never remove the film or the temperature
enclosure without consulting with Seaclear first.
Troubleshooting Guide
NOTE: NEVER remove the film or the temperature
enclosure without consulting with Seaclear first. To do
so will void warranty and possibly destroy the heater.
Film Does Not Feel Hot to the Touch
Several factors can affect how hot the film will feel to the
touch. Cabin temperature, outside temperature,
window thickness will all effect how hot the film feels.
The standard operating temperature range is on at 70˚
and off at 85˚. In general, the colder it is outside, the
warmer the heater will feel.
SW2 Thermostat Keeps Tripping
This indicates that there is a problem with SW1. Either
SW1 has failed or is not seated against the window.
Fuse is Blown
Turn off power. Check resistance of film. A reading of
40-55 ohms should be present. If so, replace fuse and
monitor the heater.
Film is Foggy or Distorted
If the film is foggy or distorted, it is due to excessive
moisture between the film and the glass window. This is
usually a direct result of not applying enough pressure
with the squeegee during installation. In almost every
case, over time the film will become crystal clear.
Keeping the film operating 24 hours a day, increase
cabin temperature and using a fan forced heater will all
speed up the drying process. A fast start thermostat

Window Heater Operation
Once installation is complete, plug the AC power cord
in. Once the circuit has power, the green LED will light
up. The chart below references the LED color and
mode of operation.
LED
COLOR:
GREEN RED
MODE: Power Available Heating
Green indicates that power is available and the heater is
in standby mode. This means that the temperature is
above the upper set point.
Red is the heating mode and will switch back to green
when operating temperature is reached.
Maintenance
1. The film may be cleaned with any household glass
cleaner and paper towel or soft cloth. Do not use harsh
chemicals or abrasive pads for cleaning.
2. The SW1 thermostat must be replaced annually.
Seaclear recommends that during the yearly thermostat
replacement, to check electrical connecting nuts for
snugness.
Window Heater Installation
Glass Cleaning
All glass surfaces have contaminants (oils, nicotine,
silicones, dust, dirt, etc.) that must be removed for
maximum adhesion and clarity.
1. Use a good window cleaner or isopropyl alcohol
and thoroughly clean the window on both the inside
and outside. Use a razor blade to remove any
stubborn materials such as paint, sealants or any
other foreign materials.
2. Inspect the window to ensure that it is clean and
ready for the film.
Applying the Film
Film Template Placement
1. Using the white liner template that came with the
film, hold it up to the window. Position the liner
where the Seaclear film is to be applied. Make note
of the electrical box so that it will be close to an
electrical outlet. Using masking tape, mark 2 long
sides and 1 short side with tape parallel to the liner.
This will be your guidelines for the film placement.

Applying the Film (cont.)
3. Shake the bottle of wetting agent. Generously
spray the window, concentrating on the area where
the film is to be placed. Make sure the area is
completely covered with the wetting agent.
4. Remove the CLEAR liner from the back of the film.
This is most easily done by using opposing pieces
of masking tape. At one of the corners, place one
piece of tape on the film side and one on the liner or
back side of the film directly over the first piece. By
pulling the two pieces away from each other, the
clear liner will separate from the adhesive on the
film. Discard the liner. CAUTION: Once the liner is
removed, the adhesive of the film will be exposed.
Do not touch the adhesive or set it near something
that could stick to it.
5. Using the guides, place the film on the window.
Gently slide the film into the exact position
6. Spray the surface with a glass cleaner to prevent
the film from scratching during squeegeeing.
7. Begin squeegeeing the film. Work out the wetting
agent from behind the film using long firm and
overlapping strokes. Work away from the studs.
Do not squeegee towards the studs. Hitting them
with the squeegee could tear them from the film.
Repeat this process a number of times using very
firm pressure at all times. Be sure to keep the film
wet with glass cleaner while squeegeeing. Dime
sized air bubbles around the studs are normal and
can be pressed down once the film has dried.
6. The film will need 24-48 to dry. If needed, use a
fan forced heater to speed up drying.
Attaching the Temperature Controller
1. Be sure the film has securely adhered to the
window before attaching the temperature
controller. Failure to do so could result in
excessive air around the enclosure. You will
know it has dried enough by pressing the dime
sized air bubbles and they stick to the glass.
Drying time usually takes between 24-48 hours.
2. Remove the cover of the enclosure.
3. Peel the liner from the base gasket on the
bottom of the enclosure.
4. With the cable leading away from the laminate
slip the enclosure over the two studs on the film.
The studs should be used with the two plated
holes on the circuit board. Press the enclosure
down firmly.
5. Using the supplied hex wrench, thread the two
supplied nuts onto the studs. Tighten snug.
