Application
ELEKTRA SelfTec 16 heating cables are intended
for the antifrost protection of:
• pipeline systems,
• sprinkler systems,
• drain pipes for condensate outlets in domestic
air conditioning and ventilation systems,
• actuators,
as well as for the protection against snow and
ice of:
• gutters,
• downpipes,
• roof drains.

Characteristics
self-regulating heating cables
increase their heating power when the tempe-
rature of the heated system drops and
adequately decrease it when the temperature
increases.
Change of power only occurs in these places
where ambient temperature changes. Self-
regulating heating cables with no danger of
spot overheating.

• external dimensions of the cable ~6x9 mm
• min. installation temperature -25°C
• max. working temperature: +65°C
• max. exposure temperature +65°C
• min. cable bending radius 3.5D
• IP rating IPX7
• max. protection type C 16A

ELEKTRA SelfTec 16 heating cables are available
on spools, terminated with a heat shrink cap to
protect the cable against moisture.
After a cable segment has been cut off, the cable
remaining on the spool also needs to be secured
with a heat-shrink cap. The cables need to be
terminated and connected to the power supply
conductor. For this purpose, the EC-PRO and
ECM25-PRO joint sets have to be applied
(installation manuals included in the sets).
Due to their properties, ELEKTRA SelfTec 16 can
touch or cross and they are not prone to local
overheating. A significant advantage is the
possibility to cut the cables into segments of
required length. However, it is recommended not
to exceed the max. permissible heating circuit
length, as shown in Table 1.

of the heated pipe
Value 1 in the length indicator signifies parallel
positioning of the cable along the pipe. Values
higher than 1 signify the length of the heating
cable per 1 m of heated pipe. In this case, the
cable should be spiralled along the pipe.

The thickness of thermal insulation layer
must be minimum 10 mm for pipes up
to 1 in. diameter, and at least 15 mm
for pipes up to 2 in. diameter.
