SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Installation advice
All electrical wiring must be done by a fully qualified electrician and in accordance with the current IEE wiring regulations in order to validate product warranty.
-
The insulation board must be installed if you have a wooden substrate. It is also recommended with concrete substrates to optimise efficiency and reduce warming times(up to 50% more thermally efficient).
-
Always round down your floor space area e.g. 2.6m2 of floor will require 2 m2 of matting (To avoid surplus matting).
-
Never overlap the mat, always ensure a min.50mm spacing between the wires for optimum heat distribution.
-
If there is a matting shortfall in your floor space then concentrate the heat mat in heavily trafficked areas.
-
A Residual Current Device(RCD) should be used with this system(must be bought separately).
-
Floor must be clean and free from dust & dirt.
-
Never cut the heating (red or blue color) wire! Never join two or more mats together in series! If you want to join two or more mats together, please use a junction box.
-
Only use scissors when cutting the mesh.
-
The wire is tough but extra care must be taken when using sharp objects near the mat. a plastic trowel is advisable.
-
Check your system with a multimeter before tile installation.
-
Ensure your tile adhesive is suitable for use with undertile heating e.g. highly polymer modified(flexible).
-
Your substrate and floor covering, e.g. tile adhesive or screed, must be completely dry before switching on your system for the first time.
-
Wear gloves when handling the mat(to avoid irritation to skin).
-
Take care when tiling to ensure your do not dislodge or damage the wire from the mesh mat.
-
The insulation board is not suitable for floor strengthening and structural reinforcing.
-
Matting and insulation board should not be passed under permanent fixings e.g. bath, toilet, etc.
-
Do not store objects on top of the matting during installation e.g. tiles.
-
Remove old floor coverings.

General
We offers a 10 year warranty for heating mat.
Please read the complete installation instructions carefully.
Pay attention to local circumstances, standards and regulations. The Install
and Test Report be filled out by a qualified electrician. It should be kept by
the owner of the building to comply with electrical regulations and the
warranty conditions.
Installation instructions
Heating mat can not be cut at will, or overlapping, and the cable space cannot
be closer than the spacing of cables assembled on the mat.
Mat can be installed under floor tiles, natural stone, laminate or wooden
floor.
Thermal resistance of the floor construction above heating mat should be as
low as possible.
Do not step on the mats during installation.
Avoid sharp objects and incautious pouring of concrete or filler. No big air
gaps are allowed in the concrete or filler. Always pay attention to
instructions for the floor covering adhesive. Heating mat shall be installed
in min. 5 mm of concrete or filler.
Do not lay heating cable in areas that might be damaged by drilling, might be
covered by cupboards or under a heat source such as a stove etc.
The subfloor should be clean, plain, stable and rigid, without cracks, sharp
objects.
The concrete subfloor must be completely dry before installing the floor
heating system. Heating mat can be fixed, if required, to the subfloor by
means of glue or staples.
Fixing with staples is only allowed in the net, and never over the heating
cable.
Warning!
It is recommended to install the sensor cable in a conduit, so that it is
possible to replace the temperature sensor easily. The conduit must be sealed
properly.
Avoid mechanical damage to the heating cable.
It is recommended to use 30mA Leakage Protection Switch

TEST STEPS: (The most important)
The qualified electrician must test the heating mats at every step during installation:
-
Before installation, please test the heating mat’s insulation resistance(IR) and conductor resistance(CR) ( as the picture 1.1 and 1.2 ) to make sure the two items are both good. If good, please continue the next step: install the mat onto the ground.
-
After installing the mat onto ground but before pouring the primer or cement, please test the mat again (as the picture 2.1 and 2.2) in case of any damage during the installation.
-
After finishing all the installation, please test the mat again(as the picture 3.1 and 3.2) to make sure all are in good condition.
For the conductor resistance, please refer to the following standard resistance values. The tolerance is -5%.~+10%.
