Product Information

The Snowmelt Multiflex 27 is a high voltage system designed for melting snow. It is available in different power options, ranging from 630W to 4250W, and comes in various widths. The system is resistant to different temperatures, with resistance values ranging from 12.5 to 85.

Welcome
Thank you for choosing Ebeco. For the warranty to be valid, the product must be installed and handled as indicated in this manual. It is therefore important that you read the manual. If you have any questions, please contact us at Ebeco. Call +46 31-707 75 50 or send an e-mail to support@ebeco.se. Feel free to visit ebeco.com for more information.

Important
The system is a high voltage system and must thus be installed according to applicable regulations and under the supervision of an authorised electrician. For the warranty to apply, the guarantee certificate must be correctly and completely filled in, and signed by an authorised electrician.

  • The mat is normally laid about 30-70 mm under the finished surface. If it is laid deeper, the system will react slower.
  • The heating cable and mat have a built-in return conductor. This means that connections are made at one end only.
  • Multiflex 27 heating cable and Ebeco Snow Melt is delivered with a 5 m cold cable.
  • The heating cable and mat are intended to be installed in a bed of sand under an asphalt or stone surface. It can also be laid in a fine mix over a concrete slab or fixed to reinforcing steel for embedding in concrete.
  • If the mat is laid in a sand bed or on top of a concrete slab in accordance with these instructions, the depth to the underside of the surface finish must be 30 mm.
  • The mat/cable can be laid deeper but it will make the system react slower, and this is particularly undesirable where control using temperature and humidity sensors is concerned.
  • If the installation is controlled by a thermostat, the sensor must be installed in a VP conduit midway between two runs of cable.
  • For larger installations (>5 kW) we recommend temperature- and humiditybased control. This type of control can give an energy saving of up to 75 %.

Always follow the general instructions first, before you move on to the specific instructions for the product you are using.

General instructions for Multiflex 27 and Ebeco Snow Melt

  1.  Check that the hardware supplied agrees with the details on the delivery note.
  2.  Measure the insulation of the heating cable/mat. It should be at least 10 MΩ. Measure the resistance of the cable/mat; see the figures in the table below. The readings may vary by ±10%. Enter the readings in the test report.
  3.  The cold cable splice must be laid in the sand/concrete. The heating cable must not be cut. You may only shorten the cold cable.
  4.  The cable runs must be separated and must not cross. Minimum spacing 70 mm.
  5.  The cable must not cross expansion joints.
  6.  The insulation and resistance of the cable must be measured before and after embedding in concrete/surface finishing. This ensures that any damage to the cable during laying is detected. Enter the readings in the testreport.
  7.  Fill in and set up the heating cable signs at the relevant junction boxes. There must be a sketch of the heating cable/mat layout at the distribution board. For other documentation, see Swedish Standards.

Warranty Information

The Snowmelt Multiflex 27 is covered by a warranty. To ensure the warranty is valid, the product must be installed and handled according to the instructions provided in the manual. The warranty certificate must be correctly filled in and signed by an authorized electrician.

Product Usage Instructions

General Instructions

Before using the Multiflex 27 or Ebeco Snow Melt system, it is important to follow these general instructions:

  1. The system should be installed according to applicable regulations and under the supervision of an authorized electrician.
  2. Ensure the guarantee certificate is correctly and completely filled in and signed by an authorized electrician for the warranty to apply.
  3. Read the entire manual carefully before proceeding with the installation.

Laying Instructions for Ebeco Snow Melt

Follow these specific laying instructions for installing the Ebeco Snow Melt system:

Laying in sand or on a concrete slab:
  1. Determine if the mat needs to be stretched and mark on the ground how it will be laid.
  2. Calculate how the mat should be cut based on the stretch required.
  3. Prepare the bed on which the mat will be laid, ensuring there are no sharp stones or objects sticking up.
  4. Start at the connection end and roll out the mat.
  5. Cut the rubber tapes and roll the mat back.
  6. If the mat is stretched, apply loads to the ends until it is covered with sand or concrete.

Laying in sand or similar:
Place 1×4 inch boards on the mat, three on each length (1 metre mat width) to keep the mat in place. Cover the mat with sand, crushed stone or similar, levelling off the sand to the boards. Remove the boards and fill the gaps. This will give about 20 mm of covering. If a thicker covering is needed, use thicker boards.

Laying on reinforcing steel:
Determine the c/c distance. Lay reinforcing at that spacing. Roll out the mat, stretch it if necessary and secure the cable to the reinforcing. If necessary, cut the rubber tapes, roll back the mat and secure the cable to the reinforcing. The cable must be supported by reinforcing steel along its entire length to protect the cable during pouring of the concrete.

Specifik laying for Multiflex 27, ground heating – snow melting

To facilitate placement of the cable, the package contains a plastic drum holder. Place the drum holder in the perforated hole underneath the bottom of the package. Lift the drum on to the drum holder and place a weight on the lid of the package. When you pull the cable, the drum is spinning. The normal centre-to-centre (c/c) distance is about 100 mm. To obtain the exact c/c distance, measure the surface where the cable is to be laid and divide it by the length of the cable.EBECO-Multiflex-27-Snowmelt-
FIG-1 When laying in a sand bed or similar

  1. Check that there are no sharp stones or other objects sticking up from the bed. The cable must be laid in a sand bed, in crushed stone or similar fine material so that it is covered to a depth of about 20 mm. This is to give the cable both mechanical and thermal protection. When steel spacers (89 350 35, 10 m) are used, fix them at right angles to the run of the cable (c/c 600 mm). Roll out the cable starting at the junction box. Secure the cable to the steel spacers.
  2. When embedding in concrete, secure the cable to the reinforcing. The cable must be supported by reinforcing steel along its entire length to protect the cable during pouring of the concrete. Check that the cable will be at least 30 mm below the finished surface. Put the cable to the reinforcing steel with cable ties, for instance. When the cable is lashed, it must be lashed loosely so that it is not damaged.
