· Remember to measure the resistance three times.
· Only for indoor installation. Do not install Foil Heating Mat in walls or ceilings.
· The minimum installation temperature is

.
· The heating cable cannot be cut to length, crossed over itself, or installed too close.
· Remember to check that the supply voltage matches the voltage of the Foil Heating Mat.
· Remember to place the labels as written in this instruction.
Please consult your supplier for any other questions or advice.
3 Floor Heating Design and Product Selection
3.1 Design the Installation
Step 1: Measure the heated area
Determine the heated area of the floor where there are no permanent fixtures or furniture such as
showers, toilets, vanities, or cabinets. Measure the heated area of the floor.
For example, in Figure 3, the area of the bathroom is 8.75 m
2
. When you subtract the area of the
vanity, shower and toilet, the total heated area is only 6.45 m
2
.
Step 2: Determine the power supply voltage
Make sure the supply voltage was 230 V.
Step 3: Plan the design
Determine the optimum floor heating mat layout for your heated area to ensure coverage. Select a
spot for the thermostat in the wall above the heated area where it can be reached by the 2.5m cold
lead on the Foil Heating Mat, and the 3.0m floor temperature sensor. Please refer to Figure 4.
Important
The predetermined Foil Heating Mat spacing must be maintained to ensure proper floor heating.
Do not change the Foil Heating Mat heating cable spacing when you lay out the cable or the floor
may have cold spots.
