SECTION 1: GENERAL

UNDERSTANDING YOUR SYSTEM:

Environ II panels are made of a pattern of a fi xed-resistance heating element, “sandwiched” between two layers of aluminium foil laminate.

This heating element is connected to a power supply cable, which exits the panel from one corner. The power lead is a three-core fl exible cord, which 
consists of three conductors (hot, neutral and ground) which are individually insulated and held together within a gray or white, outer “sheath” to form 
a single cable.

Various size panels are available, all prefabricated and tested in a carefully controlled factory environment.  

Available sizes are:

Heater details

The aluminium foil that forms the outer casing of the panel provides several advantages:

•  Heat generated by the heating element wire within the panel rapidly spreads through the foil, creating a large “plate” at an even temperature. 

This also helps to prevent heat build up under chair and table legs, as the natural tendency of the foil is to draw heat away from a hot spot;

•  It is waterproof, thus protecting all internal wiring and connections within the panel;
•  It is rigid, yet still suffi ciently fl exible to make for ease of installation;
•  It does not “ruck” or buckle when carpet is pulled or stretched over it.

The heating element is of a very special design, and uses materials carefully selected for an optimum balance of performance and safety.

•  Flexibility 
•  Tension and compression
•  Overheat protection
