6. Roll out the heating cable and place it on the ground in the way it will be mounted on the pipe later.
• The heating cable must not be 600 mm shorter or longer than the pipe.
• Do not lay the heating cable twisted.
Preparing the power supply:
7. mount the socket in a protected (indoor) area.
Danger!
• The heating cable connection must be at a 230 V socket with protective contact. This must be pro-
tected 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.
8. Form a drip loop with the power cord after the mains socket in order to avoid condensate entering the
socket.
Mount the heating cable and thermostat:
9. attach the thermostat at the coldest end of the pipe, place
the heating cable on the underside of the pipe and affix the
heating cable to the pipe in intervals of max. 200 mm using
PVC insulating tape. (Fig. 7). The thermostat and the entire
heating cable must be in contact with the pipe and fit tightly.
The heating cable may not be wound around the pipe.
Only any leftover length may be wound around the pipe at
the end area.
