•  The heating cable must be protected against 

excess strain and tension. Stepping on the ca-
bles or crossing the cables with vehicles should 
be avoided, as this may damage the cables.

•  The surface onto which the cable is to be in-

stalled must be clean and free of sharp objects.

•  Never secure the cable with metal or metal 

strips.

•  Do not connect power to heating cable while 

it is on the drum or shipping carton.

•  When storing the cable, the ends must be 

sealed to keep out moisture that could other-
wise damage the cable.

Voltage 220V - 240V AC
Minimum installation temperature -50° C.

Max. temperature ON = 65° C.
Max. temperature OFF = 85° C.

Note:

•  The stated effect is measured on the cable 

installed on pipe under insulation.

•  The Self-limiting cables have to be in good 

thermal contact with the item to be heated.

•  When self-limiting cables are surrounded 

by thermal conducting materials (water / 
concrete, etc.) the effect may be double in 
relation to the nominal value.
