Electrical Requirements
Before installing the eFlex you should make allowance for the electrical connections.
The eFlex system requires a mains voltage 230/240V and must be connected in
accordance with the current IEE regulations and building regulations part ‘P’ approved
document.
For areas up to
3450W
power connection can be provided through a 13A switched
spur outlet/combined RCD spur outlet. For larger areas a dedicated circuit should be
installed from the local consumer unit.
Confirm your thermostat is suitable to switch the appropriate electrical
load e.g. 16A thermostat is suitable to switch up to 3450W total load.
If you are required to switch greater electrical load than 16A a suitably sized
thermostat or electrical contactor MUST BE INSTALLED. Please consult our
Help Line if in doubt 08714 740 818.
We recommend that all eFlex systems are protected by a 30ma RCD earth trip either
at the consumer unit or by a combined RCD spur outlet.
When installing in a bathroom or other wet areas the thermostat must be located
outside Zone 2 (600mm from any wet appliance e.g. shower sink etc) or outside of the
wet area ideally on the opposite face of the wall. The eFlex must be earth bonded in
accordance with the current IEE regulations.
Important. When designing your electrical installation you should always
consult an electrician concerning your requirements.
Please follow these instructions carefully. If you require assistance prior to
or during your installation please call our helpline on 08714 740 818
