Stages of work:
- Marking.
Before you start, you should carefully inspect the base. If the latter is characterized by the presence of sharp corners, as well as protrusions, then it is necessary to eliminate the existing shortcomings, which is not always possible to do - in this case, a special wire is cut into pieces, after which the formed parts are connected by means of couplings.
- Fixing the heating cable.
It is not enough to place the heating elements in the locations intended for this - they still need to be fixed properly. Mounting in the pipe is done using a mounting tape. A similar method is used for wiring in the gutter. It is worth giving preference to the tape, which has the greatest strength. A resistive-type conductor is fixed every 0.25 m, while a self-regulating product is fixed every 0.5 m.The fastening of the tape strips is carried out with the help of rivets, which, if necessary, can be replaced with mounting foam.
As for downpipes, the cable in them is installed in heat-shrinkable tubes. Fragments, the length of which exceeds 6 m, are fixed by using a metal cable. Installation of the cable on the roof is carried out using a special tape and mounting foam. In this scenario, the use of rivets is impractical, because due to their impact, holes are formed that lead to the fact that the roof will begin to leak.
- Installation of mounting boxes and sensors.
To place the box, you should, of course, choose a suitable place. It is called to determine the insulation resistance. After its installation, wires are laid and sensors are installed. Recent experts advise to locate in areas where precipitation accumulates most. To connect the above devices to the controller, use electrical wires. Sensors in residential buildings, the roof of which has an impressive area, are combined into groups, after which each of them forms a connection with the controller.
- Installation of automation Vinside the shield.
The control of the heating system, as a rule, is located in the panel, which is installed in the room.
