EN | Assembly instructions for MI-60
Important
The system is a mains voltage installation and must
therefore be installed in accordance with the current regulations
and under the supervision of a qualified electrician.
Before you start installing
• Check that the material supplied corresponds with the information
on the delivery note.
Measurements and test record
• Measure the insulation and resistance of the cable, see values in the
table. Enter the values in the test report (at the end of the manual).
• The insulation and resistance of the cable must be measured before
and after embedding/surface coating, to check that the cable was
not damaged when it was laid. Enter the values in the test report.

Roughly plan how to lay the cable
• Take into account that the heating cable has a 3 m long cold cable
at each end and that both ends must be connected to the same
junction box.
• Check the c/c distance using the formula:
Design of the cable
MI heating
cable
MI heating cable to MI
cold cable junction
MI cold cable
Flex joint
Flexible cold cable
PROTECTIVE PIPE
Important to know
• The cold cable consists of a flexible cold cable section with earth
braid. The flexible cold cable can be shortened. The heating cable
must not be cut.
• Protect the cold cables from moisture and damage.
• Do not lay the flex joint and the flexible cold cable in direct contact
with the hot asphalt. Use a protective pipe (metal), see diagram
above. The sensor cable must also be laid in a protective pipe.
• The joint between the MI cold cable and the MI heating cable must
be covered with the same material used for the MI heating cable.
Check that the MI heating cable is completely covered.
• The cable must not touch or cross itself. Minimum distance 60 mm.
• The cable must not cross any expansion joints.
• Minimum bend radius is 6 x the heating cable’s diameter.
Areas of application
The cable can be laid in asphalt, concrete or sand which is
covered with paving stones, flagstones or asphalt.
• The working temperature of the asphalt must not exceed 250 °C
• Do not expose the sensor and the cable roll to extreme
temperatures (≥ 80 °C) for a long period of time.
• Lowest laying temperature is -5 °C.
