The order of installation of the heating mat CHTK.

Stepping back from the wall about 100 mm, mark the area in the room that needs to be heated. We recommend not to heat the floors where stationary furniture will be located – wardrobes, bedside tables, dressers, etc. Therefore, this area must be excluded from the heating area. Measure the resulting area. Suppose the measured area was 5 sq. m., select the heating section of the required length.

• Decide on the location of the thermostat. Prepare a hole in the wall for a sub-cabinet, a thermostat will be installed here in the future. It is best to choose a place next to the outlet, at a distance of at least 50 mm. Then make a recess - a groove with a cross section of 20x20 mm, in the direction of the floor.
• Clean the floor from dirt, place the heating mat on the area marked for heating, fixing it on the floor, for example, with a glue gun.
• It is best to start laying the heating mat by laying the so-called "cold end" - the power cable, which is laid in the strobe and displayed on the floor. Spread out the heating mat on the heated area, if necessary, cutting the glass mesh to turn the mat in the desired direction. Attention, be careful NOT TO DAMAGE THE heating cable!
• Place the corrugated pipe for the temperature sensor in the strobe, plug the end of the pipe and fix it. Run a temperature sensor into the corrugated pipe.
• Next, the tester checks the absence of conductivity between the heating core and the grounding-protective conductor, we measure the resistance of the heating section, it must correspond to the values specified in the passport. The resulting value is recorded in the passport.
• Draw the layout of the heating section in the passport.
• Apply 5-10 mm thick tile adhesive directly to the mat and lay the floor tiles. Or fill the mounted heating mat with a sand-cement screed of no more than 20mm and, after setting it, lay any floor covering.
• Use the tester to check the resistance of the heating section, the absence of conductivity between the heating core and the grounding-protective conductor, as well as the resistance of the temperature sensor. Install the thermostat in the sub-cabinet by connecting the necessary wiring to it. Turn on the thermostat and check the system performance.
