The system is operated with safety extra-low voltage 36V and thus offers a maximum of electrical safety. The
connection of the power supply unit to the house mains, as well as the installation of the temperature controller
and the electrical connection of the heating foils may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
2.3 Function and application
The E-NERGY CARBON system is a foil heating system for walls, ceilings and floors that is optimised for radiant
heat. It is characterised by a very low installation height and ensures extremely rapid heating of individual areas
directly on the surface. It can be used in the most diverse areas, e.g. in living rooms, loft conversions, fitness and
sauna areas, conservatories, seating areas, mould prevention etc. Application.
In general with radiant heating systems, it makes sense to control the actual surface temperature of the heating
element by means of a temperature controller with a thermosensor. Use one controller per room and, for floor
installation, additionally one temperature sensor to detect and limit the surface temperature at the heating surface.
The heating foil is generally suitable for the subsequent insertion of holes with a maximum size of 70 mm (see
sketch under 3.1). Also observe the minimum distance of 50 mm between the holes (max. 5 cut-outs per 1 m) and
20 mm to the copper conductors (see 3.1). The copper strip on the heating track must not be damaged or cut.
2.4 Operation
The E-NERGY CARBON system impresses with its easy installation and operation.
To achieve the comfortable temperature, the controller is set to the desired value. The
Room temperature control is then automatic. The actual surface temperature, or heating-up
The maximum speed of the heating surfaces depends on the respective covering and the thermal insulation of the
substrate and can deviate from the set room temperature.
When selecting the room thermostats, the specifications of the Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC must be observed.
All E-NERGY CARBON room thermostats comply with the Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC
2.5 Maintenance
The E-NERGY CARBON heating system is maintenance-free. In the event of a malfunction, the following steps can
help:
• Please check the temperature controller, e.g. the fault indication on the display.
• Check the fuse on the power supply unit.
• Check the fuse of the power supply and the in-house fuses or the earth-leakage circuit breaker.
If the fault remains unchanged, notify an authorised electrician or your specialist dealer. In general, it is recommen-
ded that the system be checked by an approved electrician after five years.
3. Installation of heating foils
3.1. Preparation
The E-NERGY CARBON systems are suitable for indoor use on ceilings, walls and floors. The selection of the
heating surface to be used depends on the later intended storage space for furniture and coverings as well as an
optimal heat input. Please refer once again to point 2.2 of the operating instructions.
