Hornisse anti-icing heating cable 6.5 mm, 21 m (630 W)

Product detailed description

The anti-icing cable Hornisse with a length of 21 m and a power of 630 W is used to keep external surfaces free of snow and ice. It is suitable for driveways, sidewalks and stairs, as well as for protecting gutters and downspouts from freezing. It operates at a voltage of 230 V and reduces the risk of slipping and damage to the drainage system.

Heat is distributed evenly, so snow and ice melt across the entire heated area. In addition to ensuring the safety of pedestrians and vehicles, you also protect the surface itself, as you do not have to break the ice mechanically. The cable is flexible and can be laid on flat surfaces, in gutters and in more complex structures.

Such systems are appreciated by individuals and companies who care about the safety of the property and want to prevent damage to the water drainage in winter. They are most useful in areas with heavy snowfall and frequent frost, where manual snow removal and salting would be exhausting and time-consuming.

Main features

• Power 30 W/m – heating designed for winter conditions, at a voltage of 230 V.
• Weather resistance – the cable withstands low temperatures, humidity and UV radiation.
• Even heating – heat reaches the entire heated area and prevents the formation of frost.
• Flexible construction – round twin-core cable with 100 % shielding can be laid on flat surfaces and in gutters.
• Durable sheath – the outer insulation made of PVC has UV protection.
• Automatic operation – in combination with a thermostat and sensors for humidity and temperature, it is switched on only when needed.
• Long service life – the materials used are designed for long-term operation even in harsh weather conditions.

Technical data

Application

• Driveways and sidewalks – prevent snow or ice from settling on external surfaces and keep them safely passable.
• Outdoor stairs – reduce the risk of slipping on icy steps.
• Gutters and downspouts – protect the drainage from freezing, damage and blockage by ice.

During installation, maintain a minimum installation temperature of 5 °C and lay the cable evenly so that its branches do not touch or cross. Do not cut the cable. Use a thermostat with humidity and temperature sensors to control it, which will switch the cable on only when frost is imminent. For higher safety, it is recommended to add an NTC-10 sensor.
