9. PAD INDOOR SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Check the flatness and cleanliness of the insulation
required for thermal decoupling between the radiant
system and the building envelope.
In the case of underfloor installation, a vapour
barrier should be laid underneath the insulation
layer to protect against rising damp.
Install the insulation layer as specified in the
project (minimum 20 mm), checking that it is laid
correctly according to the standards provided by the
manufacturer.
In the case of a ceiling or floor system, apply a
perimeter joint to absorb thermal expansion.
•
Cut the heating mat into strings of the length
specified in the installation plan.
•
Position the strings according to the centre
distances specified in the installation plan.
•
When laying on the floor, lay an electrical cable
duct along the side chosen for the wiring of
the mats, to be incorporated into the insulation
layer, in which the electrical wiring cables are
laid as shown in the plan.
WARNING: Take care that there are no metal
or conductive parts in direct contact with the
polymer or power cords (screws, wire mesh, pipes,
structures, etc.).
•
Remove a small portion of polymer in the
corner next to the braid, to make it easier to
position the crimp terminal so that it remains in
line with the braid of the upright embedded in
the polymer.
•
Insert the stripped cable (single-core 2.5 mm2
cord) over a length of 1 cm so that it reaches the
first teeth of the crimp terminal.
