A DRAFT OR A PICTURE OF THE HEATING CABLE, SUPPLY TABLE AND ACCESSORIES
DESCRIPTION
Heating cables type GPRN are used to protect gutters and drain pipes against de-icing. They are
resistant to UV radiation and are laid in gutters in pairs or individually. They are fixed by additional
accessories (clips for gutters, clips for drain pipes, suspensions and chains). The cables must be
mounted with a temperature controller, equipped with a temperature sensor or ice and snow sensors.
The arrangement and application of particu-
lar accessories are shown below.
• The GPRN heating cables are designed
to operate outdoor. They are prepared to
operate at 230 V AC nominal voltage and
18 W/m power.
• The heating cable is connected with po-
wer supply cable, which by means of a
temperature controller is connected to
230 V AC.
• The device should be connected accor-
ding to the details included in this ope-
rating manual. Installation, connection
and control should be carried out by a
qualified electrician staff, who act in ac-
cordance with the service manual and the
device functions. Before installation make
sure the connection cables are not under
voltage.
• Improper transport, storage, and use of
the device influence its wrong functioning.
It is not advisable to install the device in
the following cases: if any device part is
missing or the device is damaged or de-
formed. In case of improper functioning of
the device contact the producer.
GPRN heating cable - set includes:
• one-sided power supply heating cable connected with power supply cable,
• installation instruction with the Warranty Card.
A temperature controller
is an essential element used to control the GPRN heating cable. It is used
to connect the heating cable with electric installation. It is important to choose a correct temperature
controller with regard to the application of a heating cable and its function. The ZAMEL Sp. z o.o.
company offers the application of temperature controllers by EBERLE.
It is advisable to choose a temperature control-
ler in accordance to power of the connected
heating cable as well as to the placement of
the heating cable and measurement probes.
To control temperature, a controller keeping a
constant temperature or a controller with a pro-
grammer needs to be used and which allows
for the adjustment of heating parameters.
Depending on the function the heating system
with a temperature controller shall realise, the
following sensors are applied: temperature
sensors, ice and snow sensors, temperature
and humidity sensors.
The connection of the heating cable with
a temperature controller should be done
in accordance with a diagram described
in the temperature controller manual in-
struction.
REMARKS
• During installation it is required to follow in-
structions included in the Heating Cable Ma-
nual Instruction.
• Temperature controller’s installation must be
done according to temperature controller In-
stallation Manual.
• It is forbidden to mount the cable on pins,
bolts, screws or other fixing elements that
can damage the outer coating of cables.
• The cable installation surface must be smo-
oth with no sharp edges or sharp fixing ele-
ments.
• Heating unit cannot be mounted on non-uni-
form bases.
• Heating cable should not be installed in pla-
ces with permanent building.
• Heating cable resistance should be measu-
red twice: after opening the package and
before installers’ work and also after placing
the heating cable in an appropriate place.
• Ensure the sub-floor is dust and sharp ele-
ments free.
• Don’t install the heating cable if the ambient
temperature is below + 5°C.
• Don’t cut the heating cable or its connection
with power supply cable.
• The heating cable should not undergo exces-
sive strain and should be protected against
sharp device damage.
• Heating unit must be supplied by means of
a device from TN-S electric circuit with RCD
(residual current device) of nominal power
supply lower than 30 mA. The installation
should have surge protection.
• The heating cables must not come into con-
tact, cross with each other or other cables
- this could damage the insulation. The mi-
nimum distance between the heating cables
must not be less than 5-times the diameter.
• It is required to make a draft or add pictures
of arrangement of the heating cable, power
supply cable and the connection place of the
heating cable with power cable („cold wire”).
The draft or pictures are an integral part of
the as-built documentation.
• The non-detachable supply cable cannot be
replaced. If the cord is damaged, the equip-
ment is useless. The power supply cable can
be shortened to the desired length, necessa-
ry for mounting the temperature controller.
• The device is not intended to be used by pe-
ople (children) with limited physical, feeling
or psychic ability or people without experien-
ce or without the device knowledge unless it
is under supervision of a person responsible
for safety or according to installation manual.
• Pay attention to children - they must not play
with the device.
• The radius of heating cable bending shall not
be less than 8 times of its diameter.
• The heating cable cannot be permanently
immersed in any liquid.
• The heating cable must be used in accordan-
ce with manufacturer’s specifications.
