PREPARATION OF THE ROOM FOR INSTALLATION

In the designated place according to the design, use a drill or hole saw to drill a hole for the Ø 60 installation box. Cut an installation channel in the wall and floor to accommodate the conduit for the floor temperature sensor and the conduit for the heating mat power wires. In the place of the installation box, lead the electric lines powering the heating mat. The power cord cross- section is selected by a licensed electrician or designer.
A. Installation channel

Embed the conduit of the floor sensor in the installation channel. Insert the floor sensor into the conduit up to the end of the covered tube.

Place the conduit with the floor temperature sensor inside the installation box.

Insert the main power supply line and the conduit with the floor temperature sensor into the installation box. Cut the end of the tube to an appropriate length for the installation of the thermostat.

PLACING THE HEATING MAT ON THE FLOOR

The heating mat is assembled on a self-adhesive glass fiber mesh. Before sticking, the heating mat should be straightened. The heating mat must be evenly glued to the prepared floor in accordance with the previously prepared installation design.

The floor temperature sensor, installed in the conduit, must be positioned equidistant between two adjacent sections of the heating mat cable.

IF THE HEATING MAT NEEDS TO BE WRAPPED ON THE FLOOR, THIS CAN BE DONE IN THREE WAYS:

LAYING A HEATING MAT ON THE FLOOR

After laying the heating mat, insert the power cables of the heating mat into the conduit. Place the conduit with the power cord in the previously prepared installation channel and put it into the installation box. Cut the conduit with the power cord to a suitable length for the correct installation of the temperature controller.

Perform a control measurement of the heating mat resistance.

SEALING THE MAT

Apply an evenly flexible adhesive mortar intended for underfloor heating with a plastic trowel on a properly distributed heating mat. The mortar should be spread very carefully over the entire surface, carefully covering the heating cables. Properly glued heating mat should be left to dry for 24 hours. After 24h, check the resistance of the heating mat again.

LAYING A HEATING MAT ON THE FLOOR

After laying the heating mat, insert the power cables of the heating mat into the conduit. Place the conduit with the power cord in the previously prepared installation channel and put it into the installation box. Cut the conduit with the power cord to a suitable length for the correct installation of the temperature controller

After laying the tiles and hardening the glue, make the final measurement of the resistance of the heating mat. Write down the measurement result in the warranty card.

CONNECTING THE HEATING MAT TO THE THERMOSTAT

Install the temperature controller in the prepared installation box with the wires for powering the heating mat, the power line wires and the wire from the floor temperature sensor. Install the thermostat in accordance with the instructions provided by the thermostat manufacturer.

THE HEATING MATE CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE THERMOSTAT IN TWO WAYS:

A GROUND WIRE CONNECTED TO THE THERMOSTAT

B GROUND WIRE OUTSIDE THE THERMOSTAT

FIRST START OF THE HEATING
After 14 days from the installation of the tiles, the underfloor heating can be started, provided that a constant temperature of min. 18°C. If the room temperature was below 18°C, the first heating start period will be extended. The first set temperature of the floor in the heating process should not exceed 19 degrees, this is due to the need to loosen the adhesive layer. Within three days, this temperature can be gradually increased to a maximum temperature of 25°C.

WARRANTY CARD

The warranty does not cover:

1. Mechanical damage to the heating film.
2. Damage to the heating film as a result of fire, flood, lightning strike.
