Connections 1. Heating cable • Phase - Brown 2. Thermostat • Neutral - Blue 3. Sensor • Earth - Screen 4. Screen 5. RCD 6. All-pole switch 7. Fuse The presence of a heating mat must • be made evident by affixing caution signs or markings at the power connection fittings and/ or frequently along the circuit line where clearly visible...
Elements may not touch or cross themselves or other elements and must be evenly distributed on areas. The elements and especially the connection must be protected from stress and strain. The element should be temperature controlled and not operate at ambient temperature higher than 10°C in outdoor applications.
Save the sketch • Knowing the exact location of these compo- nents makes subsequent troubleshooting and repair of faulty elements easier. Please the following: • Observe all guidelines - see section 1.2 . • Observe correct C-C distance (heating cables only) - see section 2.1.
• The ohmic resistance must be within -5 to +10 % of the value labelled. • The insulation resistance should read >20 MΩ after one minute at min. 500V DC. 3�1 Installing heating elements Observe all instructions and guidelines in section 1.1 and 1.2.
