Practical installation tips

• Ordinary wire can be fastened with cable clips, secured with a hot melt glue or other adhesive such as sealant from a mastic gun. In all cases, public safety (avoidance of trip hazard) and long term reliability need to be carefully considered.
• Flat copper tape can be secured with printed warning tape as shown in our technical guide.
• Unsealed concrete contains alkalis which can attack flat copper wiring if there is any moisture present. When installing copper tape on top of concrete, the surface should sealed by painting the concrete with a suitable sealant. The copper tape can then be installed on the sealed concrete.
• Direct burial in concrete requires a special cable which can be supplied by Ampetronic on request.
• Wooden sheeting can be routed out (grooved) to allow standard cables to drop in.
• Paved areas can have the seams removed with a slot saw and burial-grade cables dropped in before the joints are re-pointed, or the cables could be installed in or under the screed layer.
• Lifts or other all metal constructions need special techniques, for example insulated lift bars which can be specially manufactured to fit inside a lift car.
