5. Lay the cable at the correct c/c distance and secure with the
fixing strips. The first and last cable loops are laid at half the c/c
distance.
6. 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.
7. Fill in and fit the heating cable signs to each junction box.
There should also be a diagram/photograph of the cable’s
installation at the electrical cabinet.
Installation
1. Install the protective pipe for the cold cable. Secure the pipe so
that it remains in place when the asphalt is laid.
2. Make sure that the surface is smooth and completely free from
sharp objects that could damage the cable. Make sure that the pipe
for the sensor cable is recessed in order to lay the heating cable on
a flat surface.
3. Fix the galvanised fixing strip (Art. no. 8960968) at a c/c distance
of about 50 cm. Fix on the substrate.
4. Roll out the heating cable with care. Make sure it is not twisted
or coiled (see figure).

C/c distance
Approx. 50 cm
• The heating cable must be laid at least one metre into covered areas
such as driveways where snow can be dragged in by vehicles.
• The heating cable must be laid all the way to any drainage channels
(ACO-drain channel). The channels must also be heated, for instance
using Ebeco T-18 (Art. no. 8960480)
• The heating cable must not cross expansion joints. Use a heating
circuit on each side of the joint.
• It is often quicker to lay long loops than shorter ones.
• Make sure to maintain the correct c/c distance even on curved
areas, by laying the heating cable along the curve instead of radially.
