Summary
Automatic ramp and driveway electric heating system.
Automatic ramp and driveway electric heating system.
Application
Suitable for ramps and driveways.
Suitable for ramps and driveways.
Description
An external heating system that can be used beneath virtually any surface for automated ice and snow clearance. A number of exterior heating cables are available to protect ramps, driveways, car parks, pavements, steps, loading areas and bridges. Tyre tracks can be heated on long driveways to minimise running and installation costs.
The system includes an outdoor heating cable, a driveway heating system thermostat and a ground temperature and moisture sensor.
Driveway heating cable:
- Output range: 1.05–4.25 kW.
- Standard range: 21–85 m.
- Wire thickness: 10 mm.
- Fixing materials: Choice of methods available.
10.8 kW Thermostat
- Supply voltage: 120/230 V ±10%, 50-60 Hz.
- Temperature range: 0 to +5°C.
- Working range: -20 to +5°C.
- Built-in timer snow melting/ afterrun: 1-6 hours.
- Output relay: 3 x 16 A potential free relay.
- Two zone application: Output is 2 x 16A potential free relay. Water based system: Controlling a 3 or 4 way valve, primary pump, secondary pump.
- Display: Graphic and with backlight.
- Ambient operating temp: 0 to +50°C.
- Mounting: DIN-rail mount.
- Housing and cover: IP20.
- Dimensions: 170 x 162 x 45 mm.
- Red (fault indication) and green (on) LED status indication.
Ground temperature and moisture sensor:
- Mounting: Outdoor area.
- Housing: IP68.
- Operating temperature: -20 to + 70°C.
- Dimensions: 32 mm high, 60 mm diameter.
Features and benefits:
- Fully automatic clearance of ice and snow.
- Improved safety for vehicles and pedestrians.
- Programmable controllers monitor temperature and moisture levels for energy efficiency.
- Reduce damage to asphalt and concrete surfaces.
- Save labour and material costs during ice and snow clearance.
- Protect grounds from salt pollution.
- For normal installations, an output of around 270 W/m² is recommended.
- Independently control two separate areas of heating via a single thermostat.
- Once installed the systems are maintenance free.
Installation:
Exterior heating cables can be installed using Heat Fix metal fixing strips or cable-tied onto reinforcement mesh.
Specialist cables for hot asphalt:
The 10 mm Black Outdoor Heating Cable can be laid directly beneath hot asphalt. A standard cable can also be used but it will need to be covered with a minimum of 10 mm of sand and the asphalt cooled before laying. The asphalt layer should be a minimum of 55 mm thick.
