ELEKTRA SelfTec 16 heating cables are available
on spools, terminated with a heat shrink cap to
protect the cable against moisture.
After a cable segment has been cut off, the cable
remaining on the spool also needs to be secured
with a heat-shrink cap. The cables need to be
terminated and connected to the power supply
conductor. For this purpose, the EC-PRO and
ECM25-PRO joint sets have to be applied
(installation manuals included in the sets).
Due to their properties, ELEKTRA SelfTec 16 can
touch or cross and they are not prone to local
overheating. A significant advantage is the
possibility to cut the cables into segments of
required length. However, it is recommended not
to exceed the max. permissible heating circuit
length, as shown in Table 1.
