• Screw heads / washers must have a minimum diameter of 15 mm so that the fixing holes are sufficiently
covered.
• Protect the unit from moisture, heavy dust, aggressive liquids and vapours.
• Always ensure sufficient heat dissipation (distance to thermal insulation) and ventilation.
• Never connect several units in parallel on the output side.
• Compare all technical data of the products used. These must match or be within the specified range.
The power rating specified on the transformer must not be exceeded.
• Not suitable for children and persons with physically and/or psychologically limited abilities.
2.2 General information
The E-NERGY CARBON system is tested for safety. When working on the heating system, the operating instructions
must be handed over to the installer for information. The
E-NERGY CARBON
system can be installed inconspicuously
in ceilings, walls or floors. For installation, an installation plan must be drawn up to locate and position the heating
foils, power supply units, electrical supply lines and, if necessary, the temperature sensor (see sketch 3.1). In order to
ensure the optimum functionality of the system, qualified dimensioning and planning (e.g. heating load calculation
DIN EN 12831) is recommended. In the case of wall or floor surfaces, care must be taken to ensure that the heating
surfaces are not misaligned. In this case, check the corresponding product labelling (manufacturer‘s approval for elec-
tric panel heating) and observe the thickness and thermal conductivity
λ
[W/(mK)] or the resulting thermal resistance
R
λ
[m2K/W]. The maximum thermal resistance of the floor covering, including the underlay belonging to the floor
covering, must not exceed the value of R
λ
= 0.15 m2K/W.
Optimum and rapid heat distribution is achieved with very thin coverings (wallpaper, plaster systems, ceramic
coverings).
