Complete the acceptance report
WARNING
Fire and electric shock hazard!
Risk of injury due to insufficiently tested system.
The junction box with thermostat module can only be operated with a completely filled out acceptance report.
Fill in the acceptance report for each heating circuit completely and carefully!
It must be ensured that the insulation resistance measurement is carried out completely during commissioning and results are entered
in the acceptance report. In particular, the installed heating circuit length and the maintenance and ambient temperatures must be
specified.
The acceptance report is available on www.bartec.com.
Each trace heating system may only be put into operation if
The acceptance tests for each heating circuit have been carried out and the acceptance reports are available
The correct condition of the trace heating has been confirmed
The thermal insulation has been completely installed and is in a dry state.
It is ensured that the heating circuit is operated within the data specified by BARTEC.
NOTICE
Complaints can only be accepted within the warranty period with a completely filled out acceptance report.
NOTICE
Additional heating energy required to heat up empty or already filled pipelines is usually not taken into account in the
project planning. When the system is cold started, you should therefore allow sufficient time for the pipeline to reach the
desired temperature.
For further information on heating processes, please contact your local BARTEC representative.
11 Operation
During the operation of the electrical trace heating, it must be ensured that all components of the system are operated within the
operating data specified by BARTEC. This applies in particular to the observance of maximum maintenance and ambient tempera-
tures. Operation within these technical data ensures safe operation and is a precondition for any subsequent warranty claims.
During operation, the thermostat module installed in the junction box operates automatically and switches the connected heating load
on or off. If error messages occur, they can be indicated by the flashing codes of the LED status display.
Error message on the thermostat module: Determine and eliminate the fault with the aid of the LED status display. The thermostat
module automatically identifies the fault-free status and continues to operate independently after the fault has been eliminated.
If 80% of the thermostat module's service life has been reached, the built-in status light flashes yellow twice. The replacement of the
thermostat module shall be planned and prepared. If the service life of the thermostat module has reached 100%, the built-in status
light flashes red 3 times and the connected heating cable is switched off. The thermostat module has reached the end of its service
life and must be replaced.
