Fenix AL-MAT - Manual (Page 6)

 Heating mats can be stored at a temperature of +10°C to 35°C and installed at a temperature of +5°C to
30°C. They must not be exposed to temperatures of over 70°C during operation.

During the unwrapping of, manipulation with and installation of the mat, please take extra care not to cause
mechanical damage to the mat.

The heating mat must not be installed on uneven surfaces.

Non-heating connecting cables must be laid so they are free to move in a protective tube in places with
dilatation joints. The passing of all installed equipment
– cold lead, thermostat probe – from the wall into the
floor must be carried out via installation tubes and must enable the movement of the floor and the wall in
relation to one another.

The mat must not be put under furniture or other equipment such as bath tubs, shower enclosures, WCs, etc.,
as well as under furniture which doesn´t enable free circulation of air. The maximum heat resistance between
the heating unit and the room can be R=0.15m² K/W.

The installed equipment must be fitted with a device which enables the disconnection of the mat or mats at
both poles, with the distance between disconnected contacts being at least 3.5mm (FENIX-Therm 100 meets
this condition). Disconnection can be enabled via an accessible plug or a switch built into the fixed wiring
according to installation regulations.
 The production number and date of manufacture is written on a label located on the mat’s cold lead. The label
which is placed on the packaging of the mat contains the type, dimensions and surface area of the mat, and
also the total wattage, wattage per 1m², supply voltage and electric resistance of the mat.

Before and after laying the heating mat, it is necessary to carry out the measurement of the resistance of the
heating circuit. The measured values must correspond with the data on the label. Write down the values in the
Certificate of Warranty.

Before and after laying the heating mat, measurement of the insulation resistance between the heating
conductor and the protective braiding must be carried out
– the measured value mustn´t be lower than 0.5MΩ.
Write down the measured value in the Certificate of Warranty.

Before unpacking the heating mat, the information on the label must be checked to make sure that it is in
accordance with the required product.

Immediately report any discrepancies to the manufacturer or supplier and stop all work.

The placement of the heating mat must be drawn in the Certificate of Warranty, with the marking of all
connections between the supply cable and the heating part, stating exact distances from the walls of the
building. The production number of the mat and the date of manufacture must be copied from the label which
is placed on the cold lead of the mat into the Certificate of Warranty. Subsequently, place/glue this label into
the wiring box.

The supplier must inform all other suppliers of the construction work about the placement of the heating unit in
the floor, and the risks arising from it.

A sheet with information about the heating system must be placed in the switchboard of the heating system
and passed on to a new owner or tenant in the case of a change in user.

By not using a sufficient layer of thermal insulation under the heating system, you run the risk of incurring
significant heat losses in the downward direction.

This appliance is not intended for use by people (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental
inability or lack of experience or knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely, unless they are
supervised or have received instructions regarding the use of the appliance from a person who is responsible
for their safety. Children should be supervised in order to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

The heating mat, including joints and supply cables, must be protected against damage during installation
(e.g. against falling objects or damage to the insulation by the sharp edge of an object, or walking, etc.) The
mat can be walked on if shoes with soft soles are used and the mat is laid on a straight and smooth surface.

Other uses of the heating mat or other placements of the heating mat than are listed in this instruction manual
can cause a life or health endangering hazard or can lead to material damage. Warranty conditions do not
apply in the case of such forms of use.

The heating mats are intended for glued laminate floors which are secured by fillets against unauthorized
disassembly of the covering.

The user must be instructed by the supplier regarding the installation of floor heating. This fact is stated on a
label which comes with the product and must be glued into the switchboard: this label also informs readers
that the making of openings is prohibited, as is covering the floor with furnishings or fittings without leaving at
least a 4 cm gap between the floor and the bottom surface.
