A DRAFT OR A PHOTO OF THE HEATING CABLE WITH A SUPPLY CABLE AND ACCESSORIES
DESCRIPTION
Heating cables type GPSY are used against icing for stairs and ramps. They are laid under the
outdoor surfaces. These cables must not be applied under asphalt. They are strongly mounted to
the surface by means of mounting clips. The cables should be installed with a temperature regulator
equipped with sensors.
The GPSY heating cables are designed to operate outdoor at 230 V AC nominal voltage and 20 W/m.
The heating cable with power supply cable is connected to 230 V AC by means of a temperature
regulator.
GPSY heating cable – the set includes:
● one-sided power supply heating cable with power supply cable,
● installation instruction with the Warranty Card.

A temperature regulator
is an essential ele-
ment used to control the GPSY heating cable
temperature. It is used to connect the heating
cable with the electric installation.
It is import ant to choose a temperature regula-
tor with regard to the heating cable power, its
location place and with regard to the place of
the measuring sensors.
Depending on the function the heating system
with a temperature regulator 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 regulator should be done in ac-
cordance with a diagram described in the
temperature regulator manual instruction.
REMARKS
• During installation it is required to follow
instructions included in the Heating Cable
Manual Instruction.
• Thermoregulator’s installation must be done
according to Thermoregulator Installation
Manual.
• It is forbidden to mount the cable on pins,
bolts, screws or other fixing elements that
can damage the outer jacked of cables.
• The cable installation surface must be
smooth with no sharp edges or sharp fixing
elements.
• Heating unit cannot be mounted on non-uni-
form bases.
• The heating cables should be installed be-
tween the expansion joints, it means one
heating cable module per one plate.
• The resistance heating cable should not be
installed in places with permanent building.
• The heating cable resistance must be meas-
ured at least twice: before starting the instal-
lation works, after arranging the heating ca-
ble on the floor, and before covering it with
the top floor layer.
• Installation of the heating cable in the ambi-
ent temperature below + 5°C is not advis-
able.
• Don’t cut the heating cable or its connection
with power supply cable. Only the supply ca-
ble can be shortened.
• 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 mini-
mum distance between the heating cables
must not be less than 6 cm.
• It is required to make a draft or add pictures
of the 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 device is not intended to be used by peo-
ple (children) with limited physical, feeling or
psychic ability or people without experience
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 10 times of its diameter.
• The heating cable cannot be permanently im-
mersed in any liquid.
• The heating cable must be used in accord-
ance with manufacturer’s specifications.
• The cable is not designed to be applied un-
der asphalt surface.
