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 oor. 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 oor or ambient temperature:
1. If the heating foil is to reheat the oor and we expect that the regulator will control oor temperature,
then you should choose a temperature regulator with a oor 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 oor 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 oor 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 xed joinery (e.g. wardrobes), or if the di-
stance from the oor 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 oor layers, and nally
after laying oor 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 oor 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 efciency 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.

HEATING FOIL INSTALLATION
1. Before purchasing it is necessary to measure the areas where we want to use he-
ating foils. When planning the distribution of heating foil, you should pay attention
to elements of the room, stationary equipment or furniture placed in it, which will
constitute an obstacle to the ow of heat from the ground. Placing the foil should
bypass the abovementioned elements and provide good dissipation of heat.
2. The foil should be selected depending on the required surface.
3. Prior to the distribution of heating foil, the oor must be aligned. Clean it, especially
of the sharp and dangerous elements.
4. Unpack the components and perform visual assessment. Measure the resistance,
verify it with the value on the rating plate and enter to the Warranty Card.
5. Before installation, lay out the foil on a dry and clean surface at a distance of 5
cm from the wall to mark the oor power supply points of each heating module. It
is important to mark places to perform grooves for power supply cables, electrical
connections and corrugated exible nylon conduit of oor probe to the tempera-
ture controller. On the wall, mark place for the junction box and the temperature
controller box. In the selected places grooves with suf cient depth for installed
elements should be performed (so that the elements do not protrude and do not
bulge the panels).
6. After preparation of the grooves in the oor and wall, spread foam pads with alu-
minium foil layer on the concrete. Place the aluminium foil with its shield 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. It must be connected to the ground (the yellow-green cable of
the mains). Cut holes in foam pads with aluminium foil, so that they cover the grooves in the oor. Foam pads are placed always directly
from the wall.
7. Then we put the corrugated exible nylon conduit with a temperature controller sensor in the groove on the oor. The area where the
conduit is placed, a groove is also cut in the foam pad with an aluminium foil layer. The distance of the controller’s sensor in the corrugated
exible nylon conduit from the wall should be at least 0.5m. Lead the cable in the corrugated exible nylon conduit into the junction box
along the groove in the wall.
8. Heating foils with previously prepared suf cient lengths must be spread at evenly distributed foam pads with aluminium foils and the con-
troller’s sensor laid in the oor. At this stage measure the resistance of the heating foil and verify them with the ones given on the rating
plate. Spread cables from the heating foil and insert them into the junction box. If several strips of the heating foil are connected to one
temperature controller, then they must be connected and fastened with each other in parallel in one of the middle junction boxes, and the
two single wires L, N should be connected to the controller. For the junction boxes lead cable to the grounding aluminium foil blacking
foam (conductor green-yellow).
9. All adjacent modules of the heating foil should be connected by reinforced tape. Connection by tape protects against overlapping of the
heating foil (unacceptable) and simultaneously prevents the formation of gaps between foils while spreading the insulation foil and panels.
Connection of heating foils by tape should be done before connection the power cables to mains.
10.Remove the white tape from the tape insulating all the ends of the heating foil before connecting to power supply (Figure 2).
11. Perform a draft or take photos of distributed heating foils in the room. Mark the installation place of ush-mounted junction box for the
temperature controller, power supply, protective grounding and oor sensor with a cable in the corrugated exible nylon conduit. The draft
or photos are an integral part of the as-built documentation.
12.After verifying the correct operation of the modules, the damp insulation foil must be dismantled on them (with a minimum thickness of
0.25mm) and put the oor panels (Figure 3).
13. After work completion, it is necessary to verify nally the correct operation of the heating modules and make an entry of resistance me-
asurements in the Warranty Card.
Heating foil can be cut in designated places (every 0.25m). Along the cut, the edge of conductive surface must be protected with
protective tape to protect against electric shock. Both ends of the heating foil must be tightly secured with an insulation tape of an
appropriate thickness (Figure 2). Before connecting to the installation remove the white tape media from the insulating tape. To protect the
ends of the heating foil, the tape of mounting kit ZM-02 can be used.
