The G-TRACE Control System
measures the ambient temperature and the presence
of both snow and moisture.
The G-TRACE self-regulating heating cables are energised
when snow is present or when moisture is present
during low ambient temperature conditions, which
is when flash freezing could occur.
Hence, G-TRACE ensures that gutters and and downspouts
remain free of ice dams and icicles. |

The
Problem: Snow that has built up on a roof
will start to melt as a result of either exposure
to the sun or from heat rising from the building.
below.
As the melted snow runs from the roof into cold
gutters and drainpipes, it can re-freeze forming
layers of ice which can continue to build up until
the flow is blocked. This can result in damaged
drains and gutters. In addition to this, icicles
can form - a dangerous potential source of injury
to people and damage to vehicles.
Expensive structural damage such as broken roof
tiles, damaged plaster and façades may occur
once water has got into the roof and walls of the
building. |

The Solution: Heat
Trace have the solution in the form of UV resistant
G-TRACE. The self-regulating characteristics of
the heating tape means that the cable can adjust
its heat output in accordance with the ambient temperature.
In snow and icy water, the G-TRACE operates at full
power. As the snow melts and the water drains away,
G-TRACE self-regulates to half full power while
it dries. As it gets warmer, so G-TRACE gradually
reduces its output.
The G-TRACE system is safe and reliable. As self-regulation
prevents overheating, G-TRACE can even be installed
in plastic gutters and with the UV resistant overjacket,
the heating cable is protected from the sun’s
harmful rays - thus making it totally durable and
reliable. G-TRACE provides a cost effective, preventive
maintenance solution to damaged roof tops and gutters
and the system consumes no more power than it takes
to prevent ice formation.
Design and installation of a G-TRACE system is simple
as there are no fixed lengths. The heating tape
can be cut to length during installation. G-TRACE
is cut from the reel and placed in the gutter. The
heating tape is hung down into the downpipe without
the need for spacers.
All systems - from the simplest to the most elaborate
- use exactly the same components, thereby providing
maximum flexibility and ease of design.
