General
The trace heating systems are used for heat
retention and heating piping, tanks and vessels.
Safety temperature limiters can be used to main-
tain the maximum permissible surface tempera-
ture. The trace heating systems are used
according to IEC 60079-10-1 in Zones 1 and 2
and according to IEC 60079-10-2 in Zones 21
and 22.
Do not leave this manual or any other objects

The trace heating systems may only be oper-
ated for their intended purpose in an undam-

the durability of the materials used is guar-
anteed.
If not assembled correctly according to IEC
