3

Melted snow refreezes

Heat from the sun and the building melt the snow on the roof which refreezes

• Roofs and gutters• Down spouts and drain lines• Flat roofs• Metal roofs

4

Risk for damage and safety hazard

• Gutter damage due to weight of ice

• Structural damage due to ingress of water

• Roof damage due to refreezing• Safety hazard from icicle

formation

• The problem– Damage and safety hazard due to refreezing water

• Raychem solution• Features and benefits

6

The solution: keep the water flowing

The Raychem self-regulating system provides a path whereby melting ice and snow can drain safely

• off the roof• along the gutter• down the drain pipe.

Self-regulating system to maintain water flow in gutters and downpipes

1. Power connection

2. Heating cable

3. Support bracket for drain pipes

4. End seal

5. Control unit or thermostat (optional)

6. Moisture sensor

7. Temperature sensor

Two different systems

• The advanced system– GM-2X heating cable and 8BTV-2-CT heating cable (bitumen) – RayClic quick connection system– EMDR-10 control unit

• The basic system– Heating cables: FroStop Black– Heat-shrink connection system– HTS-D thermostat or EMDR-10

A reliable, self-regulating heating cable

1. Large copper conductors

2. Self-regulating conductive core

3. Modified polyolefin insulation

4. Tinned copper braid for added protection

5. U.V. resistant modified polyolefin outer jacket

The self-regulating effect provides energy savings

1. Heating cable in snow at high power

2. Snow melts and drains away heating cable in dry air at half power

3. Then heating cable self-regulates in dry air

Economical to operate

• Self-regulating effect saves energy• Adjusts to varying conditions on

the same roof

RayClic connections for easy and fast installation

2. tighten screws till they are flush with surface

3. close cover

4. tighten gland nuts firmly

The EMDR-10 control unit operates on temperature and moisture sensing

• Combined temperature and moisture sensing

• Temperature sensor de-activates the system at

– High temperatures– Very low temperatures

(no melting)

• Moisture sensor de-activates the system when there is no moisture

– No moisture = no melt water = no risks for leaks

16

How the EMDR-10 works?

1. Air temperature is lower than the set-point

2. Moisture measurement is activated after 10 minutes

3. If moisture is present, the heating cable is switched on

4. Heating cable is switched off when:

1. Air temperature raises above set-point OR

2. Moisture is lower than set-pointOR

3. Air temperature is lower than the set ‚minimum‘ temperature.

17

More features of the EMDR-10 control unit

• Easy access for wiring the unit• All parameters settable on front

panel• Switching capacity up to 10 A• Visibility on the different alarms by

flashing of LED’s• An alarm relay output • Increased protection by an easy

accesable fuse

18

The simple HTS-D thermostat for small installations

• On/off • Depending on min / max

temperature (controllable between -15°C/ +15°C)

• For lengths below 30 m

The smart Raychem system

Self-regulating cable• Saves energy:

adjusts its heat output

• Practical• can be cut-to-

length and closely spaced

• for all roof materials

Connection system• Easy & Fast

– one component– mechanical

connection• Reliable: control

indicator to avoid faulty installation

+ +

Controls• More energy savings• Easy set-up and

operation:– Fast wiring– Clear visual

interface
