PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Easy Heat TSR is a self-regulating heating cable that automatically 

varies its heat output with changes in surrounding temperature. 

Since this cable regulates its heat output with temperature,  

a thermostat may not be necessary for some applications.

Easy Heat TSR cable can be used for pipe freeze protection or 

temperature maintenance applications, in either ordinary or 

hazardous (CID2) locations. TSR cable is also available with fluor

-

opolymer overjacket for use in areas requiring enhanced chemi-

cal resistance. TSR cable with fluoropolymer overjacket is suitable 

for maintaining grease and fuel lines at temperatures required for 

flow conditions.

The TSR cable is available with power densities of 3, 5, 8 and 10 

Watts per foot. This power is specified at a surrounding tempera

-

ture of 50

o

F. At other temperatures, of course, the cable power 

output will be considerably different. (See chart).

Because of the self-regulating feature of this cable, it can be 

wrapped over itself (overlapped), if necessary, when installed on 

pipes, valves or flanges.
