Floor heating mat installation instructions

QuickNet is a self-adhesive electric floor heating mat that should be installed and commissioned by a qualified electrician. If the QuickNet mat is purchased and/or installed by the end user, the installation should be approved by an electrician before commissioning.

BEFORE INSTALLING, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THE PRODUCT

QuickNet-90/160 mats can be installed under ceramic tiles and natural stone. Under certain conditions, QuickNet-90 mats (90 W/m² ) can also be installed under wooden floors and parquet (see the item "Wooden floors" for additional information).

Avoid mechanical damage to the heating cables! In the event of damage, use the original repair kit RAYCHEM

Heating mat on concrete substrate

1. Flooring (ceramic tiles or natural stone)
2. Tile adhesive
3. Waterproof layer - optional for shower rooms)
4. Filling material, self-leveling screed min 5 mm - optional
5. Floor underlay (optional)
6. Substrate
7. Isolation
8. Bearing structure

The substrate should be clean, even, stable and hardened, and free of cracks, sharp elements and substances that reduce adhesion.

Cracks should be filled with resin compound beforehand. Level larger irregularities in the substrate. Before installing the underfloor heating system, the concrete substrate must be thoroughly primed and completely dry.

If quick-setting mortars are used, follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

If necessary, QuickNet mats can be attached to the substrate with glue or staples. Staples may only be used to attach the mesh - never the heating cables.

Any metal sheathing, braiding, shielding, or other lagging of QuickNet mats that conduct electricity must be connected to the ground terminal.

2A. Perform insulation resistance measurement, between the protective braid and heating conductors.

Minimum test voltage of 500 V DC, recommended 1000 V DC. Measurement duration 60 seconds. Enter the resulting value in the appropriate place in the table located in the acceptance protocol.

2B. Make a measurement of the resistance of the heating cable, between the power wires.

Reserve the value in the appropriate place in the table located in the acceptance protocol.

Mount a standard fi 60 deep flush-mounted box on the wall at a height of 120 - 150 cm.

To the terminals of the thermostat should be brought a power cable no thicker than 3 x 1.5 mm².

The thermostat has an air temperature sensor mounted in its housing, so:

• Must be located in the same room where the floor heating will be made.
• Mount it in a place away from places where there are large temperature fluctuations such as a radiator, TV, fireplace, large drafts, etc.
• Do not mount the thermostat on a wall on which the sun's harsh rays fall.
• Do not mount the thermostat on a wall on which the sun's harsh rays fall.

QuickNet heating mats may not be cut into sections, crossed, or installed at intervals smaller than the distances between the wires pre-installed in the mat.

Do not install QuickNet mats in areas where they could be damaged when drilling holes, for example. under profiles from shower partition glass, standing toilet bowl.

Do not route QuickNet mats through expansion joints.

Do not bend or stretch the connection between the heating cable and the connection cable. The entire connector must be embedded in the floor, not inserted into the wall with the connection cable; the connector must not be pulled into the protective tube.

Do not install heating mats in areas that will be covered by a shower tray or permanently mounted furniture, which would hinder the heat transfer through the floor.

Do not place QuickNet mats under the heat source.

QuickNet heating mats can be installed under the shower shower tiles. You can read more here.

Do not lay the heating strands too close to the trap installed in the floor. A warm floor in this area will accelerate the drying of water in the trap. Maintain a distance of min 10 - 15 cm.

Heating mats can be located under hanging or standing furniture on legs with a height of min 12 cm.

It is recommended to install the sensor cable in a protective tube (included), which will make it easier to replace the sensor in case of damage. The tube should be properly sealed with a cap (included). The sensor should be placed close to the surface, directly under the ceramic tiles (or other type of flooring) and centrally between the two heating wires.

The protective tube with a brass plug is included in each RAYCHEM floor kit.
