Thank you for choosing Ebeco. We hope that you will enjoy
your underfloor heating system for a long time to come. For
the warranty to apply, the product must be installed and
operated according to this manual. It is therefore important
that you read the manual.
If you have questions, you are of course always welcome to
contact Ebeco. Call 031-707 75 50 or send an email to
[email protected]. Please visit ebeco.se for more
information.
Welcome
• For the warranty to apply, the warranty certificate must be
correct and completely filled out.
• Check that the foil is marked with 48V.
• The floor must be stable, smooth, clean and without
failure. All material in the floor must be well dried. In the
case of tiling on chipboard or wooden floors, the floor
must normally be reinforced with plasterboard, putty or
the like according to current industry regulations.
Concrete floors are sanded. For concrete floors with a
risk of moisture, this system is not suitable, as the glue
can dissolve and the foil is damaged.
• In wet rooms, the foil must be placed under the moisture
barrier.
• The foil must be protected against mechanical damage.
The floor covering must be carried out immediately after
the foil installation.
• Crimping pliers E 89 606 90 must be used for the warranty
to apply.
• The foil must not be placed under fixed furnishings, e.g.
kitchen counters, wardrobes, interior walls etc. as it causes
elevated temperature.
• Insulating furnishings such as thick carpets or seat
cushions must not be present.
• Maximum load/foil/cable max 10A. In case of larger
load than 10A, the foils are split and fused on the
secondary side of the transformer.
Important

Construction 2 is used for plastic carpet
as a surface coating.
In order to calculate the size of the transformer, you must know the number of meters of foil that will be included in the
installation.

The following two options, see fig 1-2, show different possibilities for placing and connecting the foils. For larger floors, it may be
necessary to use a combination of fig 1 and fig 2. The different widths can be combined as desired to cover the surface in the
best way.

Planning your facility
Make an exact sketch of the floor and draw in how the foil lengths should lie. Consider the following when drawing the sketch:
• Plan location for the transformer.
• The foil lengths are placed edge to edge. The foils should cover as much of the surface as possible, but the foil lengths should
not be pulled apart, as the temperature differences become noticeable. This applies especially to plastic carpet. Part of the
transparent border
• (approx. 15 mm wide) can be cut off, but at least 5 mm must remain.
• It is important to get the best coverage on the surfaces where you are standing, e.g. in front of kitchen furniture or wash
basins.
• Plan so that the foil is placed against the outer wall to minimize cold drafts. The following three options, Figure 1-2, show
different possibilities for placing and connecting the foils.
This is where your placement begins
Measure the foil and cut
Roll out the foil to the correct length. Cut perpendicularly with
scissors along one of the dashed lines, see fig 3. DO NOT cut in
the black fields. The distance from the cut edge to the black
pattern must never be less than 5 mm.

Cut out the floor
Lay out the foils in place. Mark where the connections and
connection cables will end up. Remove the foils. Cut open
the floor for cables and connections according to figs 5, 6
and 7. Vacuum the floor thoroughly.

Glue the foils
Glue the foils with E 89 601 90. Make sure that the foils end up correctly according to the cutouts in the floor. Adhesive
bonding is applied to non-absorbent surfaces. Press the foils firmly against the floor with a rubber scraper. Let the glue dry.
Leave about 10 cm at the connection ends, these parts are glued after the connection pins are mounted.
Adjust the crimping pliers, E 89 606 90
In order for the pressing of the clamps to be correct,
the tongs must be set correctly. On compressed seaweed sheep
the opening does not exceed 1.3 mm. Adjust by loosening the
screw and turning the toothed disc on its side
the pliers according to Fig 8.
fig. 8
Seal the copper tape
Seal the copper tape with the green round pieces of tape,
see fig 4. Seal only the short side that is not to be connected
to the next length of foil.

Insulate the connection terminals
Cut pieces of 50x25mm from the black insulation tape. Pull off the pro-
tective paper. Center a piece of tape under the clamp and one above the
clamp, according to Fig 13. The tape must sit at least 5 mm outside the
edges of the clamp. Carefully press the insulating tape with your fingers.
Note that the clamps must not be stretched or subjected to mechanical
stress.
Cable assembly
Connect the foil lengths. De-insulate approx. 6
mm and insert the cables into the connection
clamp. With only one cable, the stripped part
is folded double, according to Fig 11.
Clamp the cables with the crimping tool
according to Fig. 12.

fig. 13
Install the connection clamps
Thread the clip onto the foil and center it over the copper
tape. Clamp the clamp with your fingers, according to Fig
9. Press the clamp with the pliers from both sides at a 45º
angle over the perforated field, according to Fig 10.

Test the foils
First calculate the length 69/53 cm foil to 43 cm foil according to formula 2/3. Then calculate the theoretical resistance
value according to formula 1. Enter the resistance value and the length in the test report.
Putty the irregularities
Putty over connections and cables. To prevent the foils from being visible in trailing lights when the new carpet is
laid, foil edges should also be puttyed. Then sand the puttyed surfaces smooth. Vacuum the floor thoroughly.
Enter the value in the protocol
Measure the resistance of the foils and enter the value in the report. Compare the theoretical value with the measured value.
Tolerance on resistance values: -5% to +10%. Insulation test the foils and enter the value in the test report that you find
on the next page. Document the installation with a photo according to the instructions on the warranty certificate.
Gluing the plastic mat
Spread glue all over the floor. Pull out glue with a smooth rubber scraper over the foil so that the holes are filled and the foil is
covered with it a thin layer of glue. The carpet will then be attached to the substrate partly via the holes and partly via the thin
adhesive layer.
Test the foils after carpet installation
The foils are tested again. The values are entered in the test report.
Turn on the heat
The heat is switched on after 3 days at the earliest.
