FOIL SKETCH AND HEATING EQUIPMENT ARRANGEMENT
HEATING FOIL INSTALLATION AND TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER
SELECTION
CAUTIONS
The temperature
controller
is an indispensable temperature control element of the panel floor. The
heating foil is connected to electrical installation by means of the regulator.
Usually, manufacturers of panels reduce their temperature to 27°C. The regulator should be selected
depending on the desired functionality control of the floor or ambient temperature:
1. If the heating foil is to reheat the floor and we expect that the regulator will control floor temperature,
then you should choose a temperature regulator with a floor sensor.
2. If the heating foil is the primary heating source, it is recommended to use a temperature
controller
,
which measures the air temperature by means of an „air” sensor along with floor sensor protecting
against overheating.
The temperature
controller
should be selected depending on the total power consumption of the
heating foil connected to it.
To control temperature, you can use a controller which maintains only constant temperature, or
a controller with a programmer which allows to adjust e.g. the weekly heating schedule.
• When installing proceed exactly according to the instructions for mounting the heating foil.
• Installation of the temperature
controller
must be carried out according to the attached
controller
instructions.
• It is forbidden to drill holes in the floor with heating foil and placing dowels, screws, bolts or other
fasteners.
• The heating unit can not be installed on irregular surfaces and at the joints.
• Base for the heating foil should be cleaned from sharp elements and others that could damage the
protective layer of the heating foil.
• Heating foils are not intended for use in areas with high humidity, e.g. laundry, bathroom.
• The base for the heating foil must be dry. If there is a risk of moisture or water occurrence, waterproof
damp insulation using damp insulation foil should be performed. The layer above and below the he-
ating foil must be waterproof and protect the foil from contact with water or other substances causing
moisture.
• It is not recommended to lay the heating foil at the ambient temperature below 5°C.
• Heating foil can be cut only in designated places. If you cut off the length of the foil edge of conductive
surface, then the foil must be protected with a tape to protect against electric shock. You can shorten
the power supply cable.
• Heating foil should not be tensioned. Protect against damage by sharp tools.
• Do not walk on the foil without proper protection.
• Heating foil should not be laid on surfaces intended for fixed joinery (e.g. wardrobes), or if the di-
stance from the floor to the construction component will be less than 50mm. Constant heat dissipation
must be ensured.
• Heating foil should be installed away from other heat sources at least 50 cm.
• The resistance of the heating foil must be measured three times: after it is taken out of the carton and
before installation, after it is spread with power supply wires, and before laying floor layers, and finally
after laying floor panels.
• Make a draft or attach photos including the date of heating foil distribution, power supply cables and
the place of joining the heating foil with the power supply cable („cold”). The draft or photos are an
integral part of the as-built documentation.
• The heating unit must be supplied by a device from a circuit TN-S with a residual current circuit
breaker having a rated operating current not exceeding 30 mA. Installation should have overvoltage
protections.
• Protection class II of the heating foil is provided by the application insulation of heating foil and a
complete cover of the heating foil with damp insulation foil with a minimum thickness of 0.25mm and
a floor panel.
• Foam pad with a layer of aluminium foil (or any other metallised foil) should be applied on the con-
crete. Place the at least 0,015 mm thick aluminium foil upward, so that its whole surface connects with
the lower insulating layer of the FTP-80/0,5 heating foil. The aluminium foil must have a continuous
electric conduction to ensure the effectiveness of the heating foil grounding after ground connection
(the yellow-green cable of the mains) with applied residual current circuit breaker. The heating foil will
additionally cause thermal efficiency increase of the heating foil.
• This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or in accordance with operational instruction of the equipment provided by a person responsible for
their safety.
• Make sure that children do not play with the equipment.
DESCRIPTION
TECHNICAL DATA
Power supply voltage:
230V~ / 50Hz
Unit power:
80 W/m
2
Nominal operating temperature:
30°C
Operating temperature:
max 80°C
Load-current capacity:
max 10A
Heating foil is supplied by two single wire
cables
Note:
The resistance of the heating foil
includes a tolerance of + 5% / -10% of the
nominal resistance.
The device is designed for sin-
gle-phase installation and must be
installed in accordance with stan-
dards valid in a particular country.
The device should be connected according to
the details included in this manual instruction. In-
stallation, connection and control should be car-
ried out by a qualified electrician staff, who act
in accordance with the service manual and the
device functions. In case of casing dismantling,
the guarantee is lost and an electric shock may
occur. Before installation make sure the con-
nection cables are not under voltage. Improper
transport, storage, and use of the device influ-
ence its wrong functioning. It is not advisable to
install the device in the following cases: if any
device part is missing or the device is damaged
or deformed. In case of improper functioning of
the device contact the producer.
CAUTION!
FGP-80 / 0.5 heating foil is an electric heating
system and is designed to heat floors made of
panel floor. Their task is to heat or reheat floors
to provide the effect of a „warm floor”. They are
available in rolls: 0.5 m wide and 1-10 m long.
They are available on request in different lengths
with a 0.25 m stroke. It is possible to install two
or more foils in one room. In the above case, the
heating foils must be connected in a parallel way
towards power supply. Temperature controllers
control the heating foils.
Heating foil – the kit includes:
80W/m
2
heating foil connected with two single--
wire power supply cables,
ground conductor
(yellow-green) with clamp,
instruction manual
with the Warranty Card and a label.
The symbol means selective collecting of
electrical and electronic equipment.
It is forbidden to put the used equipment
together with other waste.
