The ELRAMP system makes it possible to heat the ground with electric current in
order to eliminate any to the formation of ice or to favor the melting of the snow.
We recommend it especially for access ramps, balconies; parking access,
pedestrian crossings, stairs ...
The following instructions explain the installation of heated frames and rings
(heating cable) in the concrete, asphalt, cement, sand bed for ramps, stairs,
passageway, heliport, etc. ...
It is important to take into consideration the differences between the basement
area and the different coatings of the heated zone.
This snow removal equipment makes it possible to heat the ground by means of a
heated electric cable frame to prevent the formation of ice, snow, frost, or to
promote the melting of snow.
We recommend it especially for ramps, balconies; access parking, stairs, tracks
exterior, pavement or pedestrian crossings. The heating cables prevent you from
salting the tracks and saves you a lot.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
• Make sure that you comply with the safety regulations in force in your country.
• Check that the contents of the delivery and the accessories correspond to what you will need.
• Order concrete or asphalt only once you are sure that all necessary materials are available.
• The insulation and resistance of the heating cable and probe must be measured before and during
installation. All measurements must be recorded on the control sheet and transmitted to EL-TRACE (
ADIBTAJHIZ ) within 30 days of installation.
• Observe the rated voltage on the rating plate of the heating elements.
• Heating cables must be laid and spread over their entire length of the installation area (sand, concrete,
asphalt, bitumen, etc.).

www.adibtajhiz.com
• Heating cables must be placed near the surface (depending on the type of coating).
• Heating cables must be installed so that there is no large unheated area.
• Do not bend or tie the heating cable.
• Heating cables must not touch, cross or overlap. The minimum distance between cables is 80 mm Do
not stretch, contract, bend or sever the heating cables.
• Do not shorten or connect the heating cable directly
.
• Only cold outlets can be shortened or extended
.
• The heating cable must not be laid in such a way as to cross.
• The heating cable must always be connected in parallel (and not series).
STEP II

During installation, protection by differential circuit-breaker must be provided according to force
in the country concerned.
• Heating frames or heating cables must not be placed under a welded mesh (risk of crushing).
• Monitor the installation of the floor covering to ensure that there is no mechanical which could
damage the heating cables. Appliances and tools must not be placed on the cables.
• The power of the installation must be adapted to the environment and confirmed by ELTRACE
(ADIBTAJHIZ)
• Be sure to wear shoes with suitable rubber soles in order to avoid mechanical aggression on
the heating cable.
• The lowest temperature of the heating cable installation is 5 ° C, the surface temperature
maximum is 80 ° C.
• The minimum radius of curvature is 5 times the outside diameter of the heating cable.
STEP III

www.adibtajhiz.com
• Freshly poured concrete floors must dry minimum 4 weeks in summer, see more according to temperature and
weather conditions.
• The surface to be covered should be inspected to avoid sharp edges and sharp objects damage the heating
cables.
• The heating cable and the junction box must be installed in such a way that the resistance and the ground do
not touch in the connection box.
• Cold junctions must not be bent - Cold junctions must not be left in the open air.
• Install a warning sign next to the installation and installation area of the heating cable (plan implantation).
• Install the heating cable at least 30 mm from the conductive parts of the building (eg piping water)
• Cooling conductors must pass through expansion joints, which must be protected by 2 interlaced tubes.
• The connection of several heating cables is always done in parallel in the box junction. There should be enough
ducts to accommodate the probes.

STEP V
Snow removal surfaces such as roads, bridges, driveways, exterior staircases, ramps, access of hospitals,
heliport etc, can remain practicable in winter, thanks to the system ELTRACE.
We recommend the use of the gel detector and the ELTRACE electronic control unit.
The ETO2 type is an electronic controller used for the melting of ice and snow completely automatic and
economical on exterior surfaces and in gutters.
Ice is formed the combination of low temperatures and humidity.
ETO2 detects temperature as well as humidity and the heating system
will be activated only if both parameters indicate a snow or snow ice.
Easy-to-use control panel with backlit display for quick and easy setup
in addition to a simple indication of the state, temperature, etc ...
ETO2 is suitable for controlling heating cables in 1 or 2 zones. It also exit.

www.adibtajhiz.com
Heaters or crowns are suitable for installations in concrete, screed
and sand areas (as a basis for concrete products such as pavers
and slabs).
APPLICATION: CONCRETE, PLASTER AND SAND SURFACES
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
For small installations, it is possible to use an on / off switch by checking with
the manufacturer of the switch it has the technical characteristics necessary
to ensure the proper functioning in particular in terms of power / current.
ELTRACE shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damage caused by the
malfunction of the switch.

www.adibtajhiz.com
Temperature control is provided by the controller in combination
with the temperature and humidity sensor proposed by ELTRACE.
The control unit must be combined with a humidity sensor and a
temperature sensor.
The control unit detects ice and snow and automatically activates
the set of the heating system. Once the system is in operation,
you will see that the zones are kept free of ice and snow.
Advantage: Automatic system, maintenance free and economical.
The outdoor heating system shall be operated only in snowy
weather or when ice or frost.

www.adibtajhiz.com
The ETOG probe is designed to be integrated into the surface of the
external soil to be controlled.
ETOG detects the temperature and humidity. An outdoor temperature
sensor type ETF-744/99 can be installed which measures the sudden
drop in ambient temperature.
The system will only activate when the temperature is below that selected
and that the humidity will cover the ETOG probe.
ETOG is mounted in areas where the most accumulated snow or ice is
usually found.
The probe is mounted on a base support, the upper surface flush with the
ground surface. When a surface in asphalt is installed, the probe will be
installed on a concrete base. The sensor cable must be mounted in
accordance with the regulations in force and it is advisable to use ducts.
The temperature sensor must be installed in an accessible area.

www.adibtajhiz.com
If your installation has more than one heating cable, make sure that the
grounding cables do not touch not the heating cables.
It is imperative to measure the resistance of each cable as well as the
insulation and ensure that they are in accordance with the requirements of
ELTRACE.
Check that the total current is less than the maximum allowable current of the
controller (and any device to which they could be connected, eg. the switch)
COLD JUNCTIONS The cold outlets connect in the junction boxes.
ATTENSION :
When connecting one or more heating frames, you must respect the
current maximum permissible level at each switching contact,
control, switch, etc.!

www.adibtajhiz.com
INSTALLATION
Installation of the electric heating system may only be carried out
by a licensed electrician in accordance with in force (EN60335-1).
The terminal connection device must be at least 3 mm between
each contact.
The frames must be connected to the network in 230V (or 400V
depending on the model used).
You will need to make sure that the frames are compatible with
the available voltage and must imperatively be controlled.
FURTHER INFORMATION :
Heating and controllers are not intended for use by persons whose physical, sensory or mental
deficiencies or lack of experience and / or knowledge on the products. Under no circumstances should
the heating system including the control system be left unattended or to children.

with any other frames / cables.

www.adibtajhiz.com
INSULATION TEST
It is necessary to carry out insulation tests and electrical resistance of the cables / frames before and after
the installation of the coating. No guarantee will be given if these tests have not been carried out in
accordance with good practice and / or been transmitted to ELTRACE within one month after the installation
of the system.
