User Guide

The Calorique Systems are made up of four major components: the
heating panels, the wiring, the control device and the ceiling or floor
structure. These components work together to create a system that
provides comfortable, trouble-free heating.
OPERATION
Operation of both the RCH and Warm Floors systems is the same as
with other heating systems: set the thermostat to the desired
temperature and the system warms the room.
There are a couple of things to keep in mind when using Calorique’s
systems to ensure your comfort and the system’s economical
operation:
• Since each room has its own thermostat, you can individually
tailor room temperatures based on activity or occupancy. For
instance, if a room is rarely used, you can set its thermostat
lower to conserve electricity.
• Lower the temperature settings before you leave your home for
an extended period of time to reduce the amount of power that
the system will consume.
• Setting the thermostat to a very high temperature will not make
a room warm up faster — it will merely result in the occupants
being too hot when the set temperature is ultimately reached.
• High airflow velocities (from open doors or windows or extreme
drafts) may make occupants feel cold.
• Routinely test thermostats according to their manufacturer’s
instructions.
CAUTION NOTICES
Although the Calorique systems require no maintenance, there are
some things that must be taken into account to ensure that the
systems are not damaged. Additional information for remodeling
and repair technicians is available in the system’s installation
manual. If the installation manual was not left behind by the
installers, call Calorique technical support at [phone] for a
replacement copy.
RADIANT CEILING HEATING SYSTEM
• Never pierce the ceiling.
Hitting the electrically conductive portions of a heating panel
can result in a potentially dangerous electric shock.
Piercing the elements will damage them and may present a fire
hazard.
• If a portion of the ceiling surface must be replaced (due to water
damage, etc.), replace any exposed heating panel sets. A
qualified RCH installer must handle this operation to ensure that
the re-installation is properly performed.
