•
The installation (turning off, control) must enable electrical discon-
nection of the heating film in all poles. The minimum distance of dis-
connected contacts must be 3 mm. Supply circuits must be always
fitted with a protective switch with actuating current ≤30 mA.
•
Heating foils musn’t be laid in layers, overlap each other or touch
other parts at any other location than at the non- heating edges.
The non- heating edges may overlap. Heating films must always be
secured against shifting.
•
Lower and upper surfaces of the heating films are not distinguished,
but it is convenient to lay a wider part of their connection points
(plastic covers) downwards.
•
Water insulation preventing water (humidity) penetration under the
heating film must be made under the floor construction—we recom-
mend to lay water insulation in two mutually perpendicular layers
with joint overlaps.
•
Heating films musn’t be installed at a temperature of lower than 3 °
C and they musn’t be exposed to temperatures of higher than 80 °C
on a long- term basis. The minimum bend radius of the heating foil
is 35mm and creasing must be prevented.
•
Do not lay the heating film under fixtures and objects impeding heat
removal (e.g. furniture).
•
Heating films mustn’t be covered on a long- term basis by a floor
covering or other objects of which the thermal resistance (R) is
higher than 0.15 m
2
K/W.
•
Lay moisture stop of PE foil min 0.2 mm thick on the heating film
with min. 5 cm overlaps to protect the heating film against wetness.
•
Heating foils must not be installed in close proximity to aluminium
foils, foils containing metals or on constructions with high humidity.
•
Eset is not to be installed in rooms with higher humidity (bathrooms,
laundry rooms etc.)
•
The supplier must inform other suppliers, owners and if possible,
also the user that no penetrating objects, such as e.g. nails, screws
or drills must be used in the area where heating foils are installed.
•
A sheet of paper with information about the heating system must be
permanently kept in the switch box of the heating system and
passed on to any new owner or tenant.
•
Heating foils are intended for glued laminate and wooden floors that
are fitted with lining strips around their perimeter to prevent unquali-
fied disassembly of the floor covering.
