Self-regulating trace heating systems Design Guide for Hazardous / Industrial Maintenance Visual and functional inspection Regularly check the thermal insulation for possible damage, missing seals, cracks, damage to the outer jacket, missing thermal insulation bushings for trace heaters and cables, penetrated water or chemicals. If the thermal insulation is damaged the trace heater should be checked for possible damage.
For installation of selected components, the manufacturer’s installation manual must be observed. Thus above mentioned advices may differ. It must be added to the junction box documentation. It is not allowed to add or manipulate drillings and threads at the BARTEC junction box. For selecting type of Power supply cable, see chapter Technical Data.
