The sensor can be mounted in a ground sleeve E650C-G-HOUSING.
When the open area is built, this ground sleeve is placed into the surface
without the sensor in such a way that there will be an even surface after
EN
installation of the sensor.
DE
Especially in case of surfaces which need a high processing temperature,
such as poured asphalt (>75°C), the fitting of a ground sleeve should be
FR
well provided for. In order to avoid that the ground sleeve sinks into a soft
surface later (e.g. in a sand bed for stone paving), it is recommended to
NL
create a firm foundation for the sleeve (e.g. by putting a concrete support
underneath).
DA
A protective conduit needs to be used for the sensor cable. This is
FI
beneficial both during a new installation and in case of a replacement.
Depending on the weight and material of the surface either a plastic
NO
conduit or a steel pipe DN20 can be used. Make sure that the openings
of the empty conduit and the ground socket are securely closed during
SV
the construction works.
CZ
To make sure that the ice and snow detection system works properly,
take care that the sensor is surrounded by heating cable and that the
LT
minimum heating time is long enough so that melt water can moisten
the sensor.
PL
Note - fig. B: The unit is delivered without sensors due to the fact that
installations vary (e.g. installation with only one surface snow melting
RU
sensor or one roof and gutter de-icing sensor, installation with two
IT
surface snow melting sensors or two roof and gutter de-icing sensors,
installation with one surface snow melting sensor and one roof and
ZH
gutter de-icing sensor).
Installation in horizontal flat open areas - fig. D1
The sensor needs to be installed inside the area to be monitored and
heated in such a way that the sensor surface is level with the surrounding
surface and the sensor surface remains free. The sensor must not stick
out of the open area but can rather be a few mm lower so that melting
water is collected.
Installation in open areas with a slope - fig. D2
In case of a slope, make sure that the sensor surface lies horizontally in
order to be able to collect snow or melt water.
If the sensor surface does not lie horizontally, this may lead to errors in
detecting moisture.
Installation in open areas with low construction height - fig. D3
If the area only allows for a low construction height, a sensor, which has
a sensor cable at the side of the sensor casing can be used. Its height is
only 31 mm. Take care not to damage the sensor when constructing the
open surface area, e.g. by an excessive asphalt processing temperature
(>75°C) or by mechanical load due to the use of compactors. Use a
suitable protective tube (DN20 in plastic or steel) to ease installation and
protect the sensor cable.
Installation in driveways - fig. D4
In driveways (e.g. an entrance to an underground parking lot) the sensor
should ideally be mounted mid-way between the heating cable runs.
Roof and gutter de-icing sensor E650C-R
Installation in a gutter or on a flat rooftop - fig. D5 and D6
The sensor must be installed in such a way that melting water runs
off across the sensor. It should be located as close as possible to the
downpipe or the gutter.
