The heating cable and the mains connection cable must be protected from damage
and wear, or may not be installed without protection if installed in locations where
it may be subjected to mechanical damage, e.g. through rodents, ice, icicles, mecha-
nical stresses etc.
The heating cable shall not be installed and/or switched on in order to remove
already existing ice or to free the roof of ice and snow.
The heating cable shall not be used with wooden gutters or downpipes.
If the RCD trips and cannot be reset, there is a fault in the heating cable. The hea-
ting cable must be taken out of service and checked by a qualified electrician.
To prevent fires, the heating cable must be at least 13 mm away from highly flam-
mable substances (including inflammable insulation).
The length of the heating cable cannot be changed (shortened). Any attempt to phy-
sically change the heating cable will result in the voiding of the warranty. As soon as
the heating cable has been cut, it can no longer be repaired.
Do not fasten the heating cable in place with staples, nails or other unsuitable ma-
terials.
The heating cable shall not be connected in the summer (unplug).
Never use more than 13 mm mineral wool or foam insulation. Excessive insulation
of the heating cable will result in overheating. Ensure that the insulation is fireproof.
2.1 DESCRIPTION
The frost protection heating cable is specially designed to prevent ice formation in gutters
and downpipes and can also be used as pipe trace heating.
This frost protection heating cable comprises a resistance heating element (heating cable
insulated with a crosslinkable polymer), a thermostat and a mains cable. The metallic
sheathing guarantees additional mechanical strength and an earthing connection.
The thermostat incorporated to regulate the temperature is located between the ther-
mistor and the heating cable. When installed properly, this heating cable prevents ice
formation in gutters and guarantees the drainage of the water.
2.2 Intended use
This frost protection heating cable shall be used exclusively for keeping gutters and
downpipes, as well as cold water piping made from metal and up to a diameter of 40 mm,
free of frost.
