Operation

The cable must always be in direct contact with the pipe.
Never interlace the cable. Make sure to leave enough space between the coiling when installing in a spiraled pattern (see table on the last pages of this manual).
Refer to table on the last pages of this manual when installing the cable.
Fix the cable end onto the pipe using the included clip.
Insert the plug into an appropriate mains socket.
120, 120-0 and 120-1: cable without thermostat. Disconnect the cable with an ambient temperature of +10 °C and up.
120-0T and 120-1T: cable with thermostat. The thermostat will automatically switch on the cable as soon as the ambient temperature drops below +3 °C, and switch off with an ambient temperature of +10 °C and up. Make sure to install the thermostat flat against the pipe. Fix it with insulation tape (e.g. PEREL article 1040-NPC). We recommend disconnecting the cable from the mains when the ambient temperature will not drop below +10 °C anymore.

Tips

Protect the plug from condensation droplets by looping the power cord.
Protect the cable against damage (sharp edges, rodents…).
We recommend wrapping the cable in aluminum tape (PEREL article DTALU50) when using the cable on plastic pipes. This will ideally disperse the warmth.
Warning: Install the cable in a regular pattern when used on nonmetallic pipes.
Apply extra insulation onto the pipe to better protect it from frost.
When using insulation, keep in mind the following tips:
Use only insulation made from fire-retardant PE foam.
Never use insulation with a thickness exceeding 13 mm.
Use the same insulation for the thermostat.
Never connect an unwound cable to the mains.
When the cable feels stiff, gently unwind and let it warm up before installing.
Do not use the cable on pipes carrying liquids exceeding a temperature of 60 °C.
Keep the cable away from flammable products to avoid fire risks.
Always check the cable for damages before use.
