4. Frost protection of ground areas
Data Sheet
DEVIsafe™
DEVImulti™ PVC
DEVImulti™ PVC is a high-quality, 4-conductor cable with an outer sheath made of PVC and
specially designed for frost protection of long pipes. Additionally cable is used in multiple
outdoor ground, frost protection, etc., applications.
The cable is constructed of 4 identical conductors. The conductors can be connected in
different ways (parallel and/or serial), meaning that the same cable can provide up to 11
different outputs, depending on the connection made.
DEVImulti™ PVC is very flexible and therefore perfectly suited for external installation on
pipes, it can be supplied in 3 versions with different resistance values.
The cables are not approved for use in contact with water for human consumption.
DEVImulti™ can be customized for the specific project, depending on voltage, required
output, length of heating cable and length of cold leads.
Note: It is the full responsibility of the installer/designer to use proper cold lead dimensioned for the purpose and assembly sets that establish sufficient
!
mechanical strength, flammability resistance and water tightness - and to design the heating unit with correct output for the specific application to
avoid overheating of the cable or building materials.
Benefits:
• Easy to install
• Various Ohmic output
• Safe and robust
• Long life-time
Standard compliance:
• IEC 60800:1992
• EN 50581:2012

Mounted in water pipes (enclosed by water) 30 W/m
Always remember thermostat control – sensor placed on / in media.
Notice: plastic pipes can melt at too high cable linear output and max. 10 W/m
should be recommended.
Ohm values and lengths for couplings 1-11 with different outputs for for 4-conductor heating cable
Coupling 1-10: 1 phase / 2 phase. Coupling 11: 3 phase (Y connection type).
When designing and selecting the coupling method, ensure that the load is distributed equally between heat conductors as much as possible.
Connection to one cable side marked “T” – twin connection end, connection to two cable sides marked “S” – single connection ends.
