3. POINTS OF ATTENTION:

The KLIMA MAT electrical floor heater consists of a heating cable of 6-8 Watts per meterthat is equally distributed and connected to a glass fibre net with an inter-loop distanceof approximately 7cm.The KLIMA MAT is fully earthed.

Check before hand if the heating mat is the right size for the floor area to be heatedand that there is sufficient electrical capacity (Amps.) available. The mat may not be posi-tioned over expansion joints. Each mat is tested at the factory and has a unique inspectioncard. Every mat is tested at 4000 volt. Before installing the mat, the resistance readingshould be taken and noted down on the inspection card and on page 8 (Note 8). Thereading should be taken during the installation and on final completion. These readingsshould be as per the technical information (see note 2). Take measurements both betweenthe resistance wires and between the resistance wire and the earth shield.

The red heating cable, attached to the white glass fibre net, CANNOT be cut. The matsCANNOT be laid over each other and the heating cables may NEVER cross each other!The cable junction (SPLICE), the transition of the resistance cable (heating section of themat) to the power cable (cold connection) is just within the heating mat and is marked witha red and blue tie wrap.

A distance from the wall of 10 to 20 cm should generally be adhered to. The KLIMA MATmay never be installed under fixed objects like wall units, kitchen units, baths, or showersand must be able to give off its warmth unimpeded.The KLIMA MAT may only be incorporated into the free floor areas. As bathrooms consistmostly of a small free floor area the mat can only be installed as supplementary heating.Please contact the Support Line for information about use as main heating.

All installations must be wired through a suitably rated MCB or RCCD when applicable.All installations in wet areas must be wired through a dedicated RCCD in line with thethermostat. All connections must be made by an approved electrician in accordance withcurrent IEE regulations.

The heating mat is 3 to 4 mm thick and must be incorporated in a flexible adhesive orcasting mortar suitable for floor heating. Check the manufacturers data.

4

The KLIMA MAT has 1 connecting cable 4 meters in length (Twin Conductor) and has anend seal (loop) at the end of the mat. The end seal CANNOT be broken.

The connector cable cannot be shortened by more than 2 meters, there must thereforealways be at least 2 meters of connecting wire left. The power supply must never be con-nected during installation.

If multiple mats are installed in a space, they must be wired in parallel and a suitablyrated junction box may be incorporated so that only one power cable runs to the thermo-stat. Maximum capacity of the thermostat is 16 Amperes. If combined area exceeds23m², a Contactor will have to be fitted. The thermostat may only be installed by a qual-ified electrician.

The sensor must be installed in the middle of a cable loop for optimal temperature regis-tration. Ensure that the sensor is installed well clear (min. 50 cm) of (hidden) radiator andwater pipes, drains and electrical wiring.

The sensor must always remain IN the sensor conduit. Fit cap to end of the sensor conduit.If the sensor ever needs to be replaced it can then easily be removed.

THE KLIMA MAT IS PRIMARILY DESIGNED FOR INSTALLATION ON CONCRETE

FLOORS. IF LAYING KLIMA MAT ON A WOODEN FLOOR, ALL FLOORS MUST BE

SHEETED WITH OUR THERMAL BOARD KIT OR SIMILAR CEMENT COVERED BOARD

WHICH IS COMPATIBLE WITH HEATED FLOOR SYSTEMS OR SHEET THE FLOOR WITH

15MM WBP OR MARINE PLYWOOD, FIX WITH SCREWS AT 200MM CENTRES AND

THEN SKIM WITH 2-3MM OF FLEXIBLE TILE ADHESIVE AND ALLOW TO DRY, THEN

PROCEED AS INSTALLATION FOR CONCRETE BASE.

4. GUARANTEE:

The electro technical part of the floor heating is guaranteed for 10 years. The thermostatis guaranteed for 2 years. The guarantee does not apply to damage caused by externalfactors and/or incorrect installation.

5. NECESSARY MATERIALS:

- A KLIMA MAT System.- Thermostat- Flexible tile adhesive or Self levelling compound and flexible grout suitable for floor

heating.- Flexible cement and cement gun for expansion joints along the walls.- approx. 2 m flexible electrical conduit (16mm)- (Plastic) adhesive comb with approx. 6 mm teeth.- Electrical back box (min 35mm deep, preferably 50mm).- Earthed power outlet.- A multimeter to test the mat after each installation activity.- various tools.

6. PREPARATION:

Determine where the thermostat must be placed, place a standard electrical back boxwith a minimum depth of 35mm, preferably at a height of 1.40 m for ease of operation.Grind/cut the necessary grooves and mount the back box and electrical conduit.2 conduits to be installed, one for the sensor and the other for the power cable from mat.Do not run the power cable and sensor cable through the same conduit.Cut a groove in the floor for the floor sensor pipe (1 cm deep).

TAKE CARE:- NEVER PLACE THE SENSOR IN THE VICINITY OF A (HIDDEN) RADIATOR PIPE!- NEVER INSTALL IT PASSING UNDER A HEATING CABLE!

Ensure that the surface where the mat is worked on is flat, clean, and free of dust andgrease. In larger spaces, expansion joints along the wall may have to be used.

NECESSARY MATERIALS:

PREPARATION:

7. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

WHEN INSTALLING IN TILE CEMENT:Unroll the KLIMA MAT with the heating cable down so that only the glass fibre netting isvisible.

FOR SELF LEVELLING COMPOUND:Unroll the KLIMA MAT with the heating cable facing upwards using double sided adhesivetape. Determine how the matting must be laid. The glass fibre netting can be cut betweenthe cable loops and folded over. Avoid damaging the cable! There are many possible variations when installing. Klima Underfloor Heating Ltd can pro-vide installation drawings if required - please contact us on 0870 411 1115.

8. RESISTANCE READINGS:

Please make a note of your resistance readings in the table below. This forms your guar-antee. Readings to be taken with an ordinary Multimeter. Please also make note of theresistance readings on your inspection card.

* Should always read open circuit. If not: STOP immediately and call the technical helpline.

9. MEASURING OUT THE HEATING MAT:

Allow for a distance from the wall of 20 to 30 cm when rolling out the matting in largerareas. This does not apply to glazed walls where extra heating is required. If the KLIMAMAT is too long, the mat can be cut into a long length and laid round the periphery ofthe mat. The distance between the cables must not be less than 4cm. They may not touchor cross each other. Retest the mat when it has been laid.

TILE CEMENT METHOD:

RESISTANCE READINGS:

10. TILE CEMENT METHOD:- Pull the end of the connecting cable through the electrical conduit to the thermostat.- Apply a first layer of Flexible tile adhesive 4mm to 6mm thick and approx. 550mm wide.- Roll the mat out over the tile cement with the cable facing downwards.- Softly push the mat down with a wooden spatula or gloves and spread the tile cement

that oozes through the mat.- Smooth it over and allow it to dry.- Take the resistance readings of the mat again.- Then apply a second solid layer of flexible tile adhesive taking care to avoid air bubbles

and use a plastic tile cement comb to avoid damaging the KLIMA MAT. (DO NOT SPOT TILE).- Press down the tile with a light sliding motion.

11. SELF-LEVELLING METHOD:

Position the mat as described in Point 6. Attach the mat to the floor with adhesive or dou-ble sided adhesive tape.Test the mat again with a multimeter and write down the readings on the test card. Takemeasurements both between the resistance wires and between the resistance wire and theearth cladding.First read the instructions of the self-levelling mortar, check that the product is suitable forfloor heating and follow the instructions of the manufacturer to the letter.The self-levelling effect must usually be assisted somewhat using a squeegee. Observe thedrying time and then apply the floor covering, i.e. tiles as in part 10.TAKE CARE:

DO NOT APPLY MORE THAN 1 SELF LEVELLING LAYER!

PLEASE FOLLOW MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS!

12. USING THE SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME:

Depending on the drying time specified for the Flexible adhesive or self-levelling com-pound, however not sooner than 14 days after installation due to the natural expulsion ofmoisture from the floor. Turning on the system sooner can damage the floor.

10

PLEASE NOTE THAT WHERE THERE IS NO MATTINGINSTALLED THE FLOOR WILL NOT BE HEATED!
