Quickmat double-core heating mat for installation directly under the floor without forming a thick cement screed, and is installed mainly under the tile in tile adhesive. The cable is equipped with a screen made of aluminium foil. If the cable is mechanically damaged, the built-in screen system will be automatically switched off - without any risk to humans or animals. The mat is a synthetic mesh to which the heating cable is attached. Implemented in the form of ready-made kits, a certain area, is completely ready for installation. Installation Guide: 1 Let’s get started: A. Necessary tools: Hammer, chisel, pencil, tape measure, craft knife, multimeter, insulation tester and this guidance leaflet and plan. B. Plan: Draw your room on graph paper (fig. 2). Remember to draw in any fixed furniture/cupboards etc. and the location of your thermostat/power supply. The heating mat should not be installed beneath items fixed to the floor, such as cupboards, bathtubs, toilets etc. Your Belfry Heating Quickmat should have a smaller m² measurement than the available floor area. Any “excess” floor area (without floor heating) is spread along the walls. Draw in your Belfry Heating Quickmat (w: 48 cm) with a gap of 2 cm between the lines on the plan. Note that the adhesive backing mat under the heating cable can be cut by changing the direction of the layout plan (fig. 3). C. Transfer your plan with its markings onto the floor, so that you know exactly where you will start and finish. 2 Test your Belfry Heating Quickmat: Before you lay the heating mat you must check that the heating conductors work properly. The resistance value is measured using a multimeter between the blue and black sections (fig. 4a). Check that the value measured matches the value of the label attached to the cold tail connection. The value displayed must lie within -5% - +10% of the given ohm value. Then measure the insulation value with an insulation tester by measuring between the screen (outer connector wiring) and both the black and blue sections (fig. 4b). The measured value must be over 10 MΩ. If this is the case tick the field on the proof of warranty 3 Preparation and cleaning: Power supply and floor sensor: Start by cutting/drilling a groove in the wall and floor from the connection point. A separate tube for the thermostat’s floor sensor and the heating mat’s power cables is fitted into this groove (fig. 5). Make sure that the groove for the floor sensor stretches at least 50 cm out into the room and that the sensor is placed between two heating cables. The curve of the tube must have a radius of no less than 6 cm Before you fit the cable mat you must prepare the floor surface(fig. 6): A. Make sure that loose items and sharp edges are removed and that the floor is vacuum-cleaned or washed. B. For improved adhesion of the heating mat it is strongly recommended that the floor be primed before installation. This must be done after the cleaning has been completed. 4 Fitting: Fitting the mat: Start by removing the protective plastic foil from the mat. Start rolling it out (with the self-adhesive side towards the floor), referring to your layout plan. Place the start of the mat close to the electricity installation/desired thermostat location (fig. 7). Note that the connections between the yellow heating cable and the power cable must be embedded. Spread out the heating mat in the room, referring to your layout plan. When you meet an obstacle (walls, cupboards, toilets or similar), cut the adhesive backing mat (not the heating cable!) and continue in a new direction (fig. 8a-8b). If the cable, due to installation purposes, has been detached from the adhesive backing mat it can be glued to the underlay using a glue gun. 5 Midway test: After laying out the mat please measure the resistance value in the mat again (fig. 4a-4b). Use the same procedure as in section 2 Box Contains: 1x Belfry Heating Underfloor Twin Conductor Heating Quickmat 150, 1350W, 230V, 9m²,18 m x 0.5 m
