GENERAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all the instructions. Failing to
comply with all the instructions stated herein may
result in serious injuries.
STORE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH CARE!
 Before any intervention into the convector, make
sure that it is disconnected from the power
supply, that the supply valve is closed and that
the conductor has cooled down.
 Make sure the convector is grounded.
 Do not expose the convector to flammable
gases.
 Do not touch the exhaust section during the
 The lower edge of curtains must be at least 150
mm above the convector’s grille. It should be
emphasised that curtains present an obstruction
to the circulation of air above the convector and
decrease the flow of heated/cooled air from the
convector into the residential area of the room.
 The convector must not be installed directly
beneath any electrical socket.
 The device for separating all the poles from the
supply network must be installed during the
electrical installation work in accordance with
the national regulations.
 When working with the convector, always use
 Do not remove connection diagrams and safety
 Always use original spare parts.
 Only a professionally trained person is allowed to
install the floor convector. The operator
(performing the installation, maintenance and
removal) is responsible for the correct and safe
installation, maintenance and removal.
 Do not perform the installation, electrical connec-
tions, maintenance and removal of floor convec-
tors if you are tired, under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medical substances.
 The heat conductor has been tested at 20 bar of
pressure. The maximum operating pressure of
the heat conductor is 11 bar (at temperatures
from 5 to 90 °C). This is also the maximum
recommended operating pressure of the conve-
ctor.
 In order for the convector to function, it has to be
correctly connected to the system of hot or cold
water and connected to a 230 V, 50 Hz power
supply grid.
 Floor convectors are only used for heating, cool-
ing, preventing condensation on glass surfaces
and in special cases for the ventilation of rooms.
 If a set of valves is incorporated, they must not
be touched with a view to carrying the convector
or lifting the heat exchanger (possible injury).
TK and TKV floor convectors are devices intended
for heating rooms, while TKH convectors are also
convectors operate according to the principle of
natural air convection and the TKV and TKH have in
-built fans that use forced convection to enable
stronger heating and cooling power.

The installation and maintenance require the
following:
 Observe the regulations and generally
acknowledged safety at work and fire safety
measures.
 Observe all instructions or procedures for the
installation, use and maintenance of floor con-
vectors.
 During installation, control, cleaning, maintenan-
ce and removal, completely disconnect all the
floor convector components from the power
supply.

 Do not reach into the fan area with objects /hands
labels from the convector. If they are not legible,
ask for a replacement.
 Autotransformer AT45 or AT60 and relay RV are
mandatory to be mounted in the connection box
of the convector with protection class min. IP55.
 To one thermostat and one AT45 or AT60 max. 6
fans can be connected.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
INSTALLATION
 In the event of peculiarities or unclear situations
regarding safe work, consult the safety engineer
or any other authorized person in charge of safe-
ty at work.
 If the packaging of the floor converter is dam-
aged, consult the manufacturer before installa-
tion.
 Place the floor convector to prepared flat sur-
face.
 The distance between convector and wall can be
as low as possible, however, it should not exceed
300 mm. Condensation elimination on cold sur-
faces efficiency decreases with the distance
between convector and wall. Convector should
be installed in such way, that air discharge
should be oriented into the room (TKH conve-
ctor), or into the window (other convector types).
 In the event of uneven surfaces, levelling screws
❸on the bottom of the convector, part of the
standard equipment, have to be used to adjust
the height. In case of false floor installation,
accessory 029 is available (levelingmand sup-
port legs).❹❺ Legs are mounted in special
holders, in pop nut M10. The optimal convector
height is achieved by regulating the leg with a
screw and finally fixing it with a spanner size 15.
❻Legs can be regulated from 10 mm do 100
mm height.❼When the optimal convector posi-
tion is achieved, it needs to be fixed with a screw
through a fixing profile into the floor. When the
convector is adjusted to the correct position and
lined to desired height, fix it with the screw. In-
stallation of thermal and noise insulation layer is
recommended between the convector and con-
crete. Convector can be supplied with housing
thermal insulation (accessory 017 - elastalon s =
5 mm). When the housing of the floor convector
is placed directly to the concrete surface, make
sure that contact is distributed along complete
surface of the convector, otherwise increased
noise level can apply (forced convection only). In
order to prevent the grille from deformation and
dirt, remove it before the installation and place
protection cover (accessory 018) to its place.❽
If you do not order the 018 accessory, spacers
have to be inserted on the upper part of the
housing❾, where the grille is later placed, which
prevent the housing from deforming and which
are supplied together with the converter. The
cover and spacers must suit the size of the con-
vector’s housing and can only be removed after
the convector is ready for operation.
 If required (TKH), the drain for condensation
should run through the Φ16 mm connection on
the bottom side of the collection tray, inside of
the convector’s housing. The pipe (connection)
can lead from the convector from the transversal
or longitudinal side and then through the siphon
into the drain. Before operation, pour water into
the condensation collection tray. Make sure the
water is flowing through the pipe intended for
draining the condensation. The collection tray
must be clean.
 Control accessories on the water side (01, 02,
03, 04) are attached to the convector upon
delivery and are not installed to the heat
exchanger. When connecting straight valves and
shut-off cocks, nut should be counter-tightened
❿. When tightening angle valves and shut-off
cocks, counter-torque should be applied with
threaded rod (1/2” thread)⓫. If not, attached
unit can be removed from the heat exchanger,
causing damage on the installation joint. It can
cause water leakage in the joint. Standard valves
and closing devices have an inside thread for
connecting them to the heating or cooling
system. It is also recommended to check the
leakproofness of the installation before operati-
on.
Recommendation: the pipe connection between
the valves on the heat conductor and the pipe
distribution element should be flexible under the
conductor in order to enable easier cleaning.
 Before pouring concrete, it is required to fill all
the holes in the housing of the floor convector by
adding insulation around the convector to pre-
vent the concrete entering the inside of the floor
convector. The thickness of the insulation should
depend on the room and the pressure around
the convector. Insulation also prevents the heat-
ing and drying of the finishing layer of floor
(parquet etc.).
 When applying concrete to the space around the
convector, consider height difference for the final
layer (carpet, laminate floor, ...).
 Remove the cover and spacers and put the grille
on the housing .
 The air flow through the converter depends on
the convector’s rotations per minute; these are
controlled with a room thermostat with a three-
level or continuous speed switch. The thermostat
must be fitted exposed in the room where the
floor convector has been installed at the same
height as other switches (approx. 1.5 m above
the floor where there is no impact from the sun
or other heating or cooling devices). The connec-
tor is connected to the thermostat according to

AND OPERATION
the suitable connection diagram that you receive
in the catalogue or that is supplied together with
the product. In the event of any ambiguity, call
the phone number stated above.
 Make sure the convector interior is clean and
dry.
 De-aerate the connected heat exchanger and
inspect the piping connections for any leakage.
 Connection to electric mains shall be carried out
by a qualified person.
 Check the operation of ventilation fan at all
speeds.
 In case of a convector controlled by a room ther-
mostat, set the desired temperature.
 The grille is dimensioned for normal loading, i.e.
human weight. If higher loads (car drive) are
anticipated, the convector shall be fitted with an
additional “bridge”.
 During the operation, upper part of the convector
(grille) shall not be covered due to possible over-
heating. Make sure that air flow is not disturbed.
 Check the condensate elimination piping for any
leakage (TKH).
 If fresh air is supplied to the device, its tempera-
ture should not be lower than 5 °C.
 When connecting the piping, make sure not to
damage soldered joints on the water heat ex-
changer connections.
 When connecting floor convectors in permanent
installation, a device to separate all phases from
the mains shall be provided, with the open con-
tact clearance of 3 mm.
 Any intervention beyond the standard connection
is considered an intervention into the device and
shall only be attempted with prior approval by the
manufacturer.
 In case that water, not caused by condensation
enters into forced ventilation floor convector,
power supply shall be switched off.
 Into very humid areas such as bathrooms, toilets,
swimming pools should be installed special ver-
sions for humid spaces (TK-S, TKV-S).
Before any intervention, cleaning or maintenance,
make sure that the device is disconnected from the
power supply, that the supply valve is closed and
that the conductor has cooled.
 Grilles: clean by means of a damp cloth and the
detergent, vapor, ...
 The internals of the floor convector: periodically
clean with a vacuum cleaner (length of the clean-
ing interval depends on dust density - amount of
dirt in the room). If the inside is very dirty, the
heat conductor should be lifted, if this is possible
for the flexible installation of the conductor, the
inside should be cleaned and the heat conductor
should be cleaned with a high pressure cleaning
device (performed by an authorized servicing
service). Make sure, that condensate elimination
hose is clean, otherwise it can cause flowing of
water over the collection tray.
 Fan: the input-output parts of the fan must be
free and clean.
 Heat conductor: the surface of the conductor
must be clean so that air can flow through. It is
prohibited to throw any objects, liquids or waste
into the convector.
 Spare parts: When ordering spare parts, indicate
the model and description of the convector. It is
also recommended to indicate the convector’s
serial number. The builder’s plate is located on
the side of the convector, near the valves and
power connection.
The fan does not work or is not rotating properly:
 Check if the wires are connected in accordance
with the connection diagram.
 Check whether the unit has a power supply.
 Check if the fan is clean and that there are no
objects on the fan that would prevent it rotating.
The convector does not heat or cool:
 Check whether the flow of water is enabled,
whether the valves are open and ventilate the
conductor.
 Check whether the water supply is completely in
order (if it is warm/cold enough).
