3 DESIGNING FLOOR HEATING AND CHOOSING THE PRODUCT
3.1 Pre-installation planning
1. Assess the surface to be heated
Define the surface to be heated by leaving out the territory covered with fix furniture (wardrobe) and
obstacles (shafts etc.) Calculate the size of the surface to be heated.
Example: the wardrobe shown on Figure 2 is 8.75 m². When deducting the area covered by the wardrobe
and shafts the remaining area is only 6.45 m². Choose the 6 m² size heating mat with the competent
capacity.
2. Check grid voltage and available capacity
The system operates on 230 V alternate current. Check the available load capacity, and request extension
from the provider if necessary.
3. Design the system
Plan the optimal placement of the heating mat with full coverage. When defining the place of the
thermostat, take note of the 2.5-meter-long connection cable of the heating mat required to reach the
thermostat, as well as of the signal transmitter of the thermostat in the floor to be in adequate distance.
It is advised to lead/install the connection cable of the heating mat from the place of the thermostat. See
Figure 3.
i Important information
To ensure even heat distribution, keep cable distance as set by default during installation.
By increasing cable distance, cooler floor areas may be created.
