information, tips & tricks, addresses, etc. visit www.devi.com .
2 Safety instructions
Heating cables must always be installed according to local
building regulations and wiring rules as well as the guidelines
in this installation manual.
• De-energize all power circuits before installation and service.
• Residual current device (RCD) protection is required. RCD trip
rating is max. 30 mA.
• Maximum fuse size is 10 A.
• The screen from each heating cable must be connected to
earthing terminal in accordance with local electricity regulations.
• Heating cables must be connected via a switch providing all
pole disconnection.
• The heating cable must be equipped with a correctly sized
fuse or circuit breaker according to local regulations.
• Never exceed the maximum heat density (W/m or W/m²) for
the actual application. Refer to Application Guide.
• Heating cable must be used together with an appropriate
thermostat to secure against overheating and reduce energy
consumption.
CAUTION: If the cable is installed inside a drinking water
pipe, it is a precondition for the certication for in drinking
water application, to secure that the water does not reach
a temperature of 23 °C or above. It is a must to secure the
installation by a thermostat with a set-point of +5 °C.
The presence of a heating cable must
• Be made evident by axing caution signs in the fuse box
and in the distribution board or markings at the power
connection ttings and/or frequently along the circuit line
where clearly visible (tracing).
• Be stated in any electrical documentation following the
installation.
3 Installation guidelines
• It is not recommended to install heating cables at
temperatures below -5°C.
• Heating cable bending diameter must be minimum 50 mm
(to the inside of the cable).
• Ensure that the cable is suciently xed and mounted
according to the installation guide.
• The heating cables must be temperature controlled. See safety
instructions.
• Ensure controllers and sensors are connected according to the
applicable installation guide and/or application guide.
• Measure, verify and record insulation resistance during
installation.
• Persons involved in the installation and testing of electrical
trace heating systems shall be suitably trained in all special
techniques required. Installations are intended to be carried
out under the supervision of a qualied person.

Heating cables can be customized for the specic project, depending, length of heating cable and length of cold leads. For more
details contact your local DEVI sales company.
Note: It is the full responsibility of the installer/designer to use proper cold lead dimensioned for the purpose and assembly
sets that establish sucient mechanical strength, ammability resistance, UV resistance and water proong - and to design
the heating unit with correct output for the specic application to avoid overheating of the cable or building materials.
Regarding other types of applications please contact your local DEVI sales company.

5 Thermostats/controllers
Pipe frost protection Tank frost protection
DEVIreg™ 330  
DEVIreg™ 610 
DEVIreg™ Multi  
The DEVIreg™ thermostat/controller must be commissioned as prescribed in the installation instruction for the actual controller
and adjusted where local conditions vary in relation to factory settings. Before every heating season or at least once per year,
check for faults in the switchboard, thermostat and sensors.
Each heating cable screen must be earthed in accordance with local electric regulations and connected to a residual current
device (RCD).
The heating cables must be temperature controlled and not operate at ambient temperature higher than 5 °C.
The DEVIreg™ thermostat must be commissioned as prescribed in the thermostat manual. Recommended temperature setting is
according to Application Guide or Installation Guide.
More information about thermostats and controllers can be found at www.devi.com.
Sensors:
• Sensors can be live (230 V) components and must be treated according to specic Installation Guide and local standards.
• Sensors can be extended using cable with the same cable construction and cross sections (up to 50 m).
• See section 7 for specic installations.

1. Fit a T-shaped pipe of a generous size over the pipe
(3/4" and 1").
2. Fit the clean wadding (without side thread or sharp
edges) inside the T-shaped pipe with small hole in
the center.
3. Keep the cable clean and push the cable through
the wadding, to facilitate the installation. The
connection between heating cable and connecting
cable must be outside the wadding. Mount the
wadding in the following sequence:
• use only clean tools before installation as
heating cable could be in contact with drinking
water;
• rst you put the nut on facing the connection;
• mount the washer on the cable;
• mount the threaded part with the threaded part
facing the end of the cable;
• insert almost whole length of the cable inside of
the pipe, leave approx. 0,5 m of cable to install
rubber seal afterwards;
• the heating cable must extended straight
through the T-shaped pipe;
• install rubber seal on the cable. The conic rubber
seal has slice for heating cable.
4. Turn the nut until it ts tightly (max. torque for pipe
tting is 30 N·m).
5. Insulate the pipe with at least 30 mm insulation or
thicker if required based on heat loss calculation.

1. Check the pipe system to be heated and
make sure that the pipes are dry, smooth and
tight. Check and prepare the switch board.
2. Draw a plan positioning cable(s), sensors
and thermostat, cable connections, cold tail,
connection box, cable paths and switch board.
3. Check the insulation resistance of the heat-
ing cables. The measured value shall be no less
than 50 MΩ.
4. Make connection and end terminations
using only authorized accessories.
5. Straight lines and sensor must be tted
as shown at Fig.2. Twisted lines are attached
as shown for every approx.1 m pipe with
aluminum tape.
6. Apply aluminum tape below (mandatory for
plastic pipes) and on top on the whole length
of the cable. Make sure that the cables do not
cross sharp edges.
7. For in pipe installation use 3/4" + 1" Pipe tting
for DEVIpipeheat™ 10 V3 to t cable inside
of pipe. Max. water pressure – 10 Bar at max.
water temperature 23 °C. Max. torque for pipe
tting is 30 N·m.
8. Attach and cover the sensor on top of the
pipe with aluminum tape. Extend cold tails/
leads and keep connections dry. Mount
connection box on the pipe or close to it and
install the thermostat on the pipe or near it
(depends on thermostat).
9. Re-check the insulation resistance. Connect
cables to connection boxes and to the switch
board.
10. After insulation, place safety marking tape
on the insulation jacket or pipe trenches for
every 5 m. In subsurface installations, a cover
ribbon with a warning sign must be laid 10 cm
above the cables.
