Welcome
The underfloor heating system is a high voltage system and
must thus be installed according to applicable regulations
and by an authorised electrician. For the warranty to apply,
the warranty certificate must be correctly and completely
filled in, and signed by an authorised electrician.
• The heating cable must not be cut. Furthermore, it may
neither be crossed nor installed with spacing of less
than 6 cm.
• NOTE! Cableflex 20 must not be installed between
timber joists. When packing on EPS concrete/cement,
reinforcing mesh are required. When laying on the
reinforcing mesh, the cable must be laid on the top of
the mesh.
• The connection cable may be cut.
• The thermostat’s sensor cable may be cut.
• The cable must be measured for resistance and isolation
per the instructions. Document the values on the
warranty certificate.
• There must be either a diagram or photo of the cable
routing documented.
• The sign
Heating Cable Installed
must be posted at the
main junction box.
• Heating must be regulated with Ebeco’s EB-Therm
thermostats.
• The system must be connected to 230 V via a 30-mA
residual current operated circuit-breaker.
• The heating cable must not be run under stationary
furnishings, such as kitchen counters, closets, inner
walls, etc. because this produces elevated temperatures.
• In wet rooms, the heating cable must be run under a
sealing layer.
• Wait 4 weeks after applying filler before turning on the
heat. This gives the filler time to properly dry.
• When installing on the reinforcing mesh, the cable must
be laid on the top of the reinforcing mesh.
• The maximum permissible heat resistance of the floor
material is 0.16 m² K/W.

The heating cable is laid on floor constructions of concrete,
plaster or chipboard and must then be screeded with a
suitable levelling compound.
When applying screed on EPS concrete/cement, a
reinforcement mesh is required in between as a spacer
before the heating cable is laid.
On uninsulated concrete floors against the ground,
additional insulation is always recommended. Also, that the
heating is not switched off completely during the summer to
counteract moisture rising.
Cableflex 20 can be installed under tiles and natural stone
floors, wood and laminate floors and linoleum.
See the applicable industry regulations for exact instruc-
tions regarding floor construction, screeding, sealing layers,
tiling, jointing etc. Please contact your dealer for answers to
specific questions.

Industry guidelines for wood/laminate and linoleum on
underfloor heating
General conditions: The maximum permissible surface tem-
perature is 27°C. This also applies under carpets and furniture.
Coverage:
Note that with all covering of wood/laminate and linoleum
floors laid on underfloor heating, there is a risk:
• Of overtemperature in the floor
• That the temperature in the room becomes too low
Coverings include: carpets, beds without ventilated bases,
bookshelves with fully-covering bottom, kitchen cabinets etc.
