! If using the heating fabric in surface heating elements as floor heating, EN60335-1, EN60335-2-296: 2004 and EN60335-2-96: 2004 apply
(among other standards).
In particular, care should be taken that:
1. Instructions for use are drawn up and supplied in accordance with the standards mentioned above and EN62079.
2. Labelling in accordance with the standards mentioned above.
3. The temperature increase of the surfaces of table 101 section 11.8 corresponds to the standards.
4. If setting the DIN VDE 0100 T 701 up in baths and swimming pools, DIN VDE 0100 T 702 has to be followed. Here, special attention
should be paid to the protective zones and the use of an earth leakage circuit breaker with a tripping current of 30 mA.
5. Mechanical damage to the heating fabric caused by unevenness in the floor (as a result of applying protective films) should be avoided.
6. When laying in concrete or a similar material, the heating unit has to be converted to level of protection IPX7 (waterproof).
7. A temperature control mechanism (with a temperature controller) has to be installed.
8. There needs to be warning notices on the radiator with, among other things, information concerning the fixing points, the installation point
and the permissible temperatures in accordance with section 7 of EN60335-2-296: 2004.
9. Following the installation, a safety check and a check to make sure the device works properly has to be carried out and logged in
accordance with DIN VDE 0100 T 610.
10. When laying the heating units / heating fabrics, a check needs to be made that they are not bent or stacked. The mounting of the heating
fabric is carried out in accordance with the standard stated above as well as the general safety notes. The mounting is subject to a final
check and logged in accordance with EN60335-1 app. A.
Installation in foot warmers and heating mats
The following devices are classified as foot mats and heating mats:
-
Electrical foot warmers, heating mats and heating carpets (for domestic use and similar purposes).
! The heating mats / heating carpets should not exceed a surface of 0.5 m².
If using the heating fabric as foot warmers / heating mats, EN60335-1 and EN60335-2-81 must apply (among other standards). The heating mats /
foot warmers and heating carpets should only be cleaned when slightly damp. Is is not permissible to soak or wash the devices in containers or in
the washing machine. When cleaning, the equipment has to be removed from the mains and dried again before being switched on again.
In particular, care should be taken that:
1. Instructions for use should be drawn up in accordance with the above standards (as well as EN62079) and supplied with the heater. A
rating plate should be fitted to the heating mats / heating carpets.
2. The exposed parts of the heating mat should not reach a temperature increase of >65 °C.
3. A thermal fuse is installed, if the cover (in accordance with section 19 of the standards stated above) has an excess temperature.
4. These should be sufficient air circulation between the base and the foot warmer.
5. The laminated heating fabric (type series HGW-…) for installation in foot warmers / heating mats / heating carpets should only be used if,
- The temperature increase in accordance with section 11 < 40 K and
- the temperature increase in accordance with section 19 < 40 K is not exceeded (in accordance with the standard mentioned above).
6. The heating mats / heating carpets are sufficiently resistant to combustion in accordance with section 30 of the standards mentioned
above.
7. The mounting of the heating fabric is carried out in accordance with the standards stated above as well as the general safety notes. The
mounting is subject to a final check and logged in accordance with EN60335-1 app. A.
8. There is protection as a result of mechanical damage.
! Connection conditions
The laminated heating fabrics (type series HGW-…) are supplied with a connection line and plug (12PE and 230PE) or open wires ends (32PE) –
without a plug. The connection line is to be installed by the heating equipment manufacturer in such a way that tension is removed from the line
before it enters the heater and it is not exposed to any mechanical or thermal load (max. 45 K). The heater heating equipment manufacturer must
ensure that the anti-contact device is properly installed through installation that conforms to the standards. The heating fabric should be supplied
with the voltage that is stated on the rating plate.
Excess voltage destroys the insulation of the heating fabric and can lead to fire / an electrical hazard.
Warranty
If the notes have been followed and adhered to during installation and use, PRO CAR offers a 2 year warranty for laminated heating fabrics (from
the sales date). PRO CAR guarantees the free exchanging of the laminated heating fabrics if the defects can be traced back to material
deficiencies or manufacturing deficiencies. Functional faults and damage which has been caused by improper handling or installation are not taken
into consideration as part of the free warranty. Please refer to the enclosed application notes / usage information.

Caution:
Environmental damage as a
result of incorrect disposal
The heating fabric (or parts of it) should not be disposed
with normal household waste. Instead, it has to be
passed on to a special collection point for recycling
electrical equipment.
The symbol on the product, the instructions or packaging
points this out.
By reusing the materials (or reusing old equipment in
some other way) you make an important contribution
towards protecting our environment.
Please ask your local council for the address of the
competent waste disposal centre for your area.
