This is Ebeco Frostvakt
The Ebeco Frostvakt consists of a heating cable and a 2 m long rubber connection cable with an attachment plug. It
connects to a 230V power point. The heating cable is designed to automatically limit the heat when necessary. There
is no risk of the heating cable overheating.
range of applications
Ebeco Frostvakt can be used to advantage in a number of different areas:
• Protecting pipes from frost, exterior laying. • Caravans
• Protecting pipes from frost, interior laying.
• Water meters
Installation
Important to bear in mind before installation
Max. connection length in conjunction with interior laying is 60 m, for exterior laying 100 m.
Max. fuse size is 13 A.
Max. permitted pressure when installing in water pipes is 8 bar.
The Ebeco Frostvakt may not be installed in hot water pipes.
The Ebeco Frostvakt is intended for temporary installations.
The Ebeco Frostvakt must always be connected via an earth fault relay.
The Ebeco Frostvakt may only be covered with material that withstands a minimum of + 65°.
The rubber cable must not be replaced, if it is damaged the entire Ebeco Frostvakt must be scrapped.
Installing exterior frost protection
Use electrical tape to secure the cable to the pipe or component you want to protect from frost. Always insulate
the pipe or part in order to retain heat, with pipe wrap for example. If the cable is too long, or if you want to have
a higher power output, you can also install the cable around the pipe or part as a spiral. On water meters or larger
pipe fittings, wind the cable. It doesn't matter if the cable is crossed. Neither the cable nor the part will get too hot.
Installing interior frost protection
While the Ebeco Frostvakt is plugged in it always emits a certain amount of power, and this always pro-

duces a rise in water temperature. With interior laying the output is considerably higher than with exterior laying.
The operating temperature, and thereby the water temperature, varies depending on the mode of installation, the
thickness of the insulation and the ambient temperature. For permanent use, and in particular with longer lengths,
the cable should be connected via a fixed installation and controlled via a thermostat.
For installation inside a water pipe you also have to add a watertight bushing (additions kit E89 604 10). Fit the
bushing on the heating cable part. The join must be located outside the water pipe. First fit a T-joint on the water
pipe, then fit the additions kit. Insert the heating cable and screw tight.
