Details

Detailed Description:

The outer sheath of the self-regulating heating cable is made of highly flexible, mechanically resistant grey polyolefin insulation, ensuring excellent weather resistance. The built-in thermostat automatically activates at 5°C, guaranteeing continuous and efficient frost protection.

Advantages:

• Energy-efficient: Reduces power output when the pipe warms up.
• Easy installation: Comes with a pre-installed connector.
• Versatile use: Suitable for frost protection of pipelines and condensate tanks.
• Durable: Long-lasting UV- and weather-resistant outer sheath.

Technical Features:

• Inside the heating cable, two nickel-plated copper conductors are present, each consisting of 7 thin strands (0.32 mm diameter), with a total cross-section of 0.55 mm².
• The conductors are surrounded by a special radiation-crosslinked semiconductor layer, ensuring self-regulating operation.
• The system includes a 7-meter connection cable, making installation easy and safe.

Technical Specifications:

• Operating temperature range: -40°C to +85°C
• Protection rating: IPX7 (waterproof, suitable for outdoor and humid environments)
• Voltage: 230 V
• Power output: 84 W/7m (at 5°C)
• Activation temperature: 5°C
• Deactivation temperature class: T6
• Minimum bending radius: 27 mm

Placement of the Heating Cable

The heating cable should be installed along the bottom of the pipeline. It is important not to use the cable on pipes that may reach temperatures of 65°C or higher. This cable is designed exclusively for frost protection of metal or plastic pipes. For plastic pipes, it is recommended to first apply an aluminum adhesive tape to the pipe to improve heat conduction.

How to Choose the Right Cable?

• The heating cable length should match the length of the pipe.
• Ensure the pipe surface is clean and dry before securing the cable.
• The cable should be fastened with PVC or aluminum adhesive tape.
• ELAA-50 aluminum tape is particularly recommended, as it helps distribute heat evenly on plastic pipes.

Thermostat Installation

• The thermostat (black casing) should be attached directly to the pipe.
• It will automatically activate the heating when the pipe temperature drops below +5°C.

Insulation & Safety

• The system should be covered with insulation to reduce heat loss and save energy.
• Recommended insulation thickness: minimum 13–19 mm.
• Ensure proper grounding for safe operation.
• The connection cable includes three wires: phase, neutral, and ground. Verify proper grounding to avoid electrical issues.
