Maintenance And Repairs - Kerbl 223582 Manual De Instrucciones

Danger!
• Do not use any straps or metal connectors to fix the heating
cable in place.
• Always use good quality insulation tape (PVC tape) with a
temperature resistance of at least 80 °C for mounting. Other
adhesive tapes can be deformed by normal cable operating
temperatures, potentially leading to overheating, fire or
electric shock.
• If laying the end of the heating cable wrapped around the
pipe, the distance between the loops must be at least 50
mm. (Fig. 8)
• The heating cable must not be in contact with itself or a
second heating cable at any point. (Fig. 3)
10. In order to secure the frost protection in extremely cold weather conditions or to minimise energy con-
sumption, the pipe and the heating cable should be insulated. The pipe / heating cable can be insulated
using non-combustible mineral wool or foam insulation (fig. 9).
Danger!
• Fire hazard! Only non-flammable pipe insulation must be used. (Fig. 11)
• The insulation must be no thicker than 13 mm. Inordinate insulation of the heating cable leads to
overheating.
The insulation mounted on the pipe/heating cable must also be placed over the thermostat in the same
thickness. This ensures that the same temperature is maintained in all pipe sections. (Fig. 10)
11. The insulation must be protected with an additional water-tight sheath which is laid helically over the
insulation to prevent moisture ingress.
4. Operation
Connect the plug to the socket to start operation.
Remove the plug from the socket to end operation.

5. Maintenance and repairs

The heating cable must be checked before every use. The heating cable and the connection to the socket
must be inspected for signs of damage and the power supply checked for proper operation. If the heating
cable is cut, damaged, has been immersed in water, shows signs of charring or cracking or is damaged in
any way, it must no longer be used and should be removed. The heating cable should also be checked for
animal bites and invading foreign bodies such as splinters.
The heating cable contains no serviceable parts.
