BlazeTrace SSR102-CP Self-Regulating Trace Heating Cable
BlazeTrace is an advanced trace heating solution designed to protect fire sprinkler pipework from freezing and help maintain reliable operation during cold conditions.
The SSR102-CP self-regulating heating cable provides an output of 10W/m at +10°C and forms the heating element of the BlazeTrace frost-protection system.
When combined with suitable control, monitoring, connection components and insulation, BlazeTrace provides a complete approach to sprinkler pipework frost protection.
What Does BlazeTrace Do?
BlazeTrace is designed to help protect vulnerable fire sprinkler pipework from freezing. The SSR102-CP cable provides the heat, while suitable controls and monitoring can be added to create a complete frost-protection system.
Protects Against Freezing
Trace heating supplies heat alongside the pipework to help protect water-filled sprinkler services during cold conditions.
Self-Regulating Heating
The SSR102-CP cable automatically adjusts its heat output in response to local temperature conditions.
Part of a Complete System
For a complete installation, combine the heating cable with suitable controls, connection components, fixings and pipe insulation.
Key Cable Features
SSR102-CP provides a nominal heating output of 10W per metre at +10°C.
Heat output changes automatically according to the temperature around the cable.
The self-regulating design helps prevent overheating, including where sections of cable overlap.
The self-regulating cable helps prevent excessive temperature build-up when correctly installed on suitable pipework.
Cable can be supplied to the required length for the installation.
Designed specifically around frost protection requirements for sprinkler pipework.
Advanced Monitoring & Control
When SSR102-CP is used as part of the complete BlazeTrace system with the appropriate controller, the installation can incorporate advanced monitoring and redundancy features.
Designed for High-Reliability Frost Protection
The complete system can combine self-regulating heating cable with dual-circuit control, automatic switch-over and remote fault reporting.
Dual heating circuits can be monitored on a duty/standby basis with automatic switch-over.
System status and faults can be incorporated into a suitable Building Management System.
Soft-start control helps eliminate inrush currents and can allow longer trace heating circuit lengths.
The system can support SSR102-CP trace heating circuits up to 245 metres depending on the system configuration.
Front-panel controls can be locked during normal operation to prevent unauthorised adjustment.
The control system can be configured for frost protection at +5°C with ambient or pipe sensing options.
Where Is BlazeTrace Used?
Fire Sprinkler Systems
Designed for sprinkler pipework requiring dependable frost-protection heating.
Commercial & Industrial Sites
Suitable for commercial and industrial locations where pipework is exposed to freezing conditions.
High-Reliability Applications
Particularly useful where monitoring, redundancy and centralised fault reporting are important.
What Else Will You Need?
SSR102-CP is the heating cable. A complete frost-protection installation may also require a suitable controller, connection components, fixing products and pipe insulation.
