• Use of polyamide cable conduits which are halogen free and fire
retardant.
Protection against failure of heating system
• Regular monitoring of return air temperature by electronic
controller.
• Use of vane relay for protection against switching on of heater in
case of failure of flow of air due to failure of blower motor
