About These Instructions

This document is part of the product. These instructions 

describe how to install and connect the refl ector heating 

systems ESO 180 H, and ESO 180 HL.

Do not install or use the devices until you have read and 

understood this document.

Keep this document for reference throughout the service life 

of the devices. Pass this document on to any new owner or 

user.

Scope of Supply

4 heating mats with 3.5 m cable (H05RNF) and heating 

temperature sensor

Mesh reinforced aluminium foil, 0.05 x 17 m

Adhesive fi lm (white) for covering the aluminium foil, 0.075 x 

17 m

4 elliptical segments made of white adhesive foil for covering 

the outer contours of the heating mats

8 x cable ties, 360 mm

Transport and Storage

If possible, transport and store the heating mats in their original packaging.

Protect the heating mats against moisture and mechanical damage.

Transport and store the heating mats only in the permitted temperature range between -40 and +80°C. Make sure there is no 

condensation build-up.

Functional Description

The electric heating prevents snow and ice formation on the antenna refl ector surface which may lead to interruptions in satel-

lite reception. The heating for the antenna consists of four special heating mats with integrated heat insulation and PTFE insulated 

heating elements. After installation, the heating mats fi t on the refl ector in an optimum way and guarantee a good heat distribution. 

Two of the heating mats have an integrated temperature switch that turns off  the heating at 80°C so that the system can be directly 

operated at 230 V/50 Hz. To ensure effi  cient operation, we recommend the use of a control unit for the ESO 180 H. The control unit can 

be operated with the built-in sensor, but also without a sensor. Possible system components:

A control unit is mandatory for 

operating the ESO 180 HL. For this 

purpose, the required temperature 

sensor is built into the heating mat.

ESO 180 HL: for exposed loca-

tions, with double the heating 

power compared to ESO 180 H

(L = increased performance).
