Ground-fault protection

To minimize the danger of fire from sustained electrical arcing if the heating cable is damaged or

improperly installed, and to comply with the requirements of Xuhui, agency certifications, and

national electrical codes, 30-mA equipment or 5-mA personnel ground-fault protection must be used

on each LTV heating cable branch circuit. Arcing may not be stopped by conventional circuit

protection.

Description

The LTV pre-assembled self-regulating heating

cables are designed for residential and commercial

metal and plastic pipe freeze protection and roof and

gutter deicing applications.

SFTRACE LTV SELF-REGULATING HEATING CABLES cCSAus Heating cable installation 1. Prepare for installation. • Store the heating cable in a clean, dry place. • Complete piping pressure test. • Prior to installing the cable, remove any sharp surfaces on the pipe that might damage the heating cable. • Review the LTV heating cable design and compare to materials received to verify that you have the proper LTV heating cable. • Walk the system and plan the routing of the LTV heating cable on the pipe. 2.

Finishing the installation. • To prevent damage to the heating cable or cord, secure the power cord (cold lead) with a plastic cable tie, glass cloth tape, or duct tape as shown in Figure 4. • Two labels indicating the presence of electric pipe heating cable are included with the heating cable. Attach the two “Electric Traced” labels on the outer surface of the pipe insulation at suitable intervals to indicate the presence of LTV electric heating cable.

SFTRACE LTV SELF-REGULATING HEATING CABLES cCSAus General requirements for roof & gutter de-icing: • When used for roof and gutter de-icing, ensure that the roofing material is suitable for the heating cable which has a maximum sheath temperature of 85C. • LTV is designed to remove melt water, not accumulated snow. • LTV heating cable will not keep snow or ice from falling off the roof. Snow fences or snow guards should be used to eliminate snow movement.

SFTRACE LTV SELF-REGULATING HEATING CABLES cCSAus Heating cable selection for roof & gutter de-icing Calculate the heating cable length. Find the number of feet of heating cable needed per foot of roof edge in Table 3. Then, calculate the amount of total heating cable length you need using the following formula: Length = A + B + C + D A Roof edge: Roof edge (ft) x Feet of heating cable per foot of roof edge B Roof extension: Roof edge (ft) x 0.

SFTRACE LTV SELF-REGULATING HEATING CABLES cCSAus Heating cable installation 1. Prepare for installation. • Store the heating cable in a clean, dry place. • Use only the following Xuhui accessories to satisfy code and agency requirements: - Hanger Bracket - Roof Clips • Make certain gutters and downspouts are free of leaves and other debris. • Carefully plan the routing of the heating cable for roof and gutter de-icing. 2. Position and attach the heating cable on roofs.
PAGE 10
SFTRACE LTV SELF-REGULATING HEATING CABLES cCSAus • Extend the top of each heating cable loop beyond where the wall joins the roof. • Trace two-thirds of the way up each valley with a double run of heating cable as shown in Figure 8. • Use roof clips to route heating cable into and out of the gutter in such a way as to prevent abrasion to the cable. Protect all cable that protrudes past the lower opening of the downspout. • Ten roof clips for approximately 7 linear feet of roof edge.

SFTRACE LTV SELF-REGULATING HEATING CABLES cCSAus 3. Mark the installation. Two labels indicating the presence of electric de-icing and snow-melting equipment on the premises are included with the heating cable. One label must be posted at the electrical outlet cover. The other label must be posted at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. The labels must be clearly visible. 4. Check the installation. • Prior to plugging in, check to be sure the heating cable is free of mechanical damage (cuts, clamps, etc.).
