OverviewEspecially for large paved areas such as loading docks, ramps and driveways where surface de-icing must be reliable. MAGNUM Outdoor Cable is fixed directly to reinforcement mesh before the sand bed, concrete or asphalt is placed. MAGNUM Outdoor is supplied as a complete system including heating cable, two sensor units (humidity + outdoor temperature) and a custom-made watertight control cabinet.
Construction and materialsThe power conductor is uniquely connected to the resistance wire. An aluminium reinforcement jacket protects the resistance wires against mechanical damage and provides EMC shielding to prevent interference with mobile phones, electrically operated doors/gates and security installations. The cable has PTFE (Teflon) inner sheaths and a chemically resistant PVC outer sheath.
Complete systemsMAGNUM Outdoor installations are calculated and designed per order. A watertight control cabinet (IP-65) is manufactured and sized according to number of cables/mats and power. For larger projects the cabinet can be expanded with modulating power regulators up to 50 kW to avoid peak loads and save energy. The system can be implemented for both 230 V and 400 V networks.
