4.5. Installation of ground sensor conduit 9
Where heating cables are connected to the ET02 electric controller, a ground sensor (ETOG or ETOG-56) must be
installed to detect humidity and temperature.
For more information, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the product.
• Install a conduit approved for ground sensor cable, at the same stage as installing the cold lead conduit, as
specified in installation guidelines (see Section 5).
Note: The ground sensor cable should be inserted in a separate conduit than that of the cold lead.
• Run the conduit between two heating cables. Do not cross, overlap or bundle the heating cables and
the ground sensor conduit.
• Position the ground sensor inside the heated surface, in an open location that will be subject to precipitations.
• If the ground sensor is installed on a slope, be sure to position the sensor so the top part is horizontal.
• Ground sensors should be installed once the surface coating has been laid.
9 Refer to the product catalogue for more information on available products.
Each option is supplied with an installation manual.
