Q.11 :
Can I connect two Therma Cable systems to the same thermostat?
A.11 :
Yes. You can even connect additional systems provided the connection is
parallel and total output does not exceed the thermostat’s capacities.
Q.12 :
What happens if the voltage applied is the wrong one?
A.12 :
Connecting a 120V product to a 240V/208V current will overheat the
system and lead to an overheating and failure. A 240V/208V product
connected to a 120V current will produce virtually no heat. It is therefore
very important to connect the right product to the right voltage.
Q.13 :
Can Therma Cable be installed over concrete?
A.13 :
Yes. Apply a concrete sealer before installing the
Therma Cable
system.
See Section 4.
Q.14 :
Can carpet be installed over Therma Cable?
A.14 :
Yes, if the system is completely embedded in self-levelling cement. You
can install low-pile carpet over the slab if the carpet’s thermal resistance
does not exceed R = 1.40 (RSI = 0.246).
Q.15 :
Can wood flooring be installed over Therma Cable?
A.15 :
Yes, you can install multilayer wood flooring (Engineered flooring), provi-
ded its thermal resistance does not exceed R = 1.40 (RSI = 0.246).
Q.16 :
Is the use of self-levelling cement mandatory when installing
ceramic tile?
A.16 :
If the room is small, an experienced tiler can do a good job without using
self-levelling cement, but this method is not recommended. The heating
cable must always be completely embedded in cement or an equivalent
binder (cement glue, ceramic glue, self-levelling cement). If the room is
medium-sized or large, the use of self-levelling cement is strongly recom-
mended to ensure the ceramic is perfectly level.
