Installation
1. The product is placed or laid around or
alongside the component to be heated and
fastened using suitable tapes for the
temperature range. Additional fixtures may
be necessary to install your product
properly. For assistance or guidance on
installation methods please contact us.
2. The object surface has to be dry and clean
(grease free). It must not be coated!
3. Ensure that the product is not excessively
stressed or strained during installation. For
minimum bending radius and spacing
information refer to the technical data
section.
4. When installing the product, make sure
that it is in close and even contact with the
entire surface of the object to be heated.
Contactless sections will lead to
overheating, lack of performance and
possible destruction. When embedded in
insulating material the effects are even
more likely to occur.
5. The product must never overlap when it is
placed or laid, otherwise the incurring
inadmissible excess temperatures will
defect or destroy it.
6. The product must not be placed or laid
over sharp edges, corners or burrs. Non-
observance of this provision may lead to
damage of the product.
7. Ensure that the stated ingress protection
(IP rating) is suitable for the environment
of use. For example, fabric insulated
products are of low IP rating and should
only be operated in dry areas.
8. The pre-assembled cold lead and hot-cold
termination should be installed in such
manners that the designed operating
temperatures are not exceeded. Please
refer to technical data section for
information.
9. Never stick needles or sharp objects (or the
like) in the product!
10.The product should be protected against
mechanical damage by suitable coverings
(e.g. insulation and metal sheeting)
11.The products are not of self-regulating or
stabilized design. A suitable temperature
sensor and controller has to be used to
ensure that the maximum designed
operating temperatures of the product as
well as the object to be heated are not
exceeded.
12.In case of additional safety matters a
temperature limiting device may be
installed to protect the application
components from damage.
To prevent danger an RCD or ELCB
has to be installed!
Caution:
To avoid external touching and damage, it is
required that within the application the
product (component) has to be covered by a
metal sheeting or braid, which has to be
included in the protective arrangement of
Protection Class I (protective earth) according
to VDE0100 or to the relevant standards in
your country and is to be taken into
consideration. Metallic components coming in
contact with the product have to be
incorporated in the protection measures of
Protection
Class I (protective earth). For details please
refer to the standard VDE 0100 (Germany) or
the relevant standards in your country.
Additional to these instructions special
requirements for the specific products are
found on the product label or type plate and
must be followed as well.
The products are designed at a certain
protection class. Considering that the product
is not protected against hazardous body
currents, it has to be installed in such a
manner that any risk is excluded.
In case of doubt or if necessary please contact
us. (see last page for contact information)
