(EN) Installation instructions –
frost protection heating cable for pipelines
Please read these instructions carefully before installation and use.
Damage caused by not following the instructions is excluded from any liability and warranty.
1. Safety instructions
Caution!
Risk of physical injury to people and animals and material damage if used incorrectly!
• Proper connection and installation should only be carried out by a qualified electrician! Please note the relevant VDE (Association of
German Electrical Engineers) regulations!
Fig. 1 – symbol on product
• Fire hazard! To prevent fires, the heating cable should be kept at least 13 mm away from all flammable materials.
• Fire hazard! Only non-flammable pipe insulation must be used. (Fig. 11)
• The heating cable connection must be at a 230 V socket with protective contact. This must be protected with a B10 A or B16 A MCB.
A separate 30 mA RCD circuit breaker should also be provided. A combined RCD/MCB with adequate tripping characteristic may be
used. The RCD circuit breaker must only supply the circuits intended for the heating cable.
• The RCD in the distribution board, in sub-distribution boards and the socket or junction box must also each be labelled with a sticker
bearing warning signs and indicating the precise mounting location of the heating cable.
• The circuits used to operate a heating cable must be clearly marked in the schematic and the fuse list.
• Regularly check the functioning of the RCD using the function key.
• Never form kinks in the heating cable. If the minimum bending radius of R
be installed and must be disposed of. (Fig. 1)
• This device can be used by children 8 years of age and older and by individuals with impaired physical, sensory or mental abilities or
those with insufficient experience and knowledge to do so, if they are being supervised or have been trained on the safe use of the
device and understand the underlying hazards. Children may not play with the device. Cleaning and user maintenance may not be
performed by children without supervision.
• The frost protection heating cable jacket is only designed for contact with water and may not come into contact with chemicals, acids
and alkalis.
• Before laying, the heating cable should be checked for any transit damage, general damage, cracks or discolourations in the heating
cable jacket and across the entire device.
• Damaged heating cables may no longer be installed or connected to the mains.
• Check the voltage and performance of the heating cable on the type plate.
• The plug (230 V) may not be connected to the mains during installation.
• The heating cable must not be shortened and is ready to operate as supplied. It must also not be otherwise altered. (Fig. 2)
• The selected heating cable must not be 600 mm shorter or longer than the tube section to be heated. Excess length should be wrap-
ped around the pipe at the end section with a minimum distance of 50 mm. (Fig. 8)
• Any attempt to change the heating cable physically will invalidate the warranty. If the heating cable is cut, it can no longer be
repaired.
• No extension cord can be used in conjunction with the device.
• The heating cable must not be in contact with itself or second heating cable at any point. (Fig. 3)
• The thermostat should be placed at the coldest point and out of direct sunlight. The thermostat should not be permanently in water.
The access line must not be in water or in direct sunlight. Do not affix the heating cable with adhesive tape where the adhesive has
an aggressive effect.
• Avoid damaging the heating cable through sharp edges. (Use edge protectors.)
• The mains plug must only be used in dry spaces.
• Do not lay the heating cable twisted.
• Do not lay the heating cable along building parts that are heated, hot or separately heated (e.g. chimneys, hot pipes).
• Never install the heating cable in walls, floors or ceilings.
• The cable and its connections to the thermostat and power cord must not be exposed to tensile, compressive or torsional stresses.
Never separate, open or damage the system by force, as this can compromise the device's functioning and invalidate the warranty.
The IP X7 (waterproof) protection class would also no longer be guaranteed.
• For safety reasons, metal pipes, protective tubes and sheathing must be earthed before installation. Ensure every metal part is
= 20 mm is undercut, the heating cable may no longer
