Commissioning and Preventive 
Maintenance

Thermal Management requires a series of commis-

sioning tests be performed on the XL-Trace system. 

These tests are also recommended at regular inter-

vals for preventive maintenance. Results must be 

recorded and maintained for the life of the system, 

utilizing the “Installation and Inspection Record” 

(refer to Section 9). Submit this manual with initial 

commissioning test results to the owner.

6.1 

Tests

A brief description of each test is found below. 

Detailed test procedures are found in Section 7.

Visual Inspection

Visually inspect the pipe, insulation, and connections 

to the heating cable for physical damage. Check 

that no moisture is present, electrical connections 

are tight and grounded, insulation is dry and sealed, 

and control and monitoring systems are operational 

and properly set. Damaged heating cable must be 

replaced.

Insulation resistance

Insulation Resistance (IR) testing is used to verify 

the integrity of the heating cable inner and outer 

jackets. IR testing is analogous to pressure testing a 

pipe and detects if a hole exists in the jacket.

Circuit length Verification (Capacitance Test)

The installed circuit length is verified through a 

capacitance measurement of the XL-Trace heat-

ing cable. Compare the calculated installed length 

against the system design. If the calculated length 

is shorter than the system design, confirm all con-

nections are secure and the grounding braid is 

continuous.
