Fenix AL-MAT - Manual (Page 7)

Description and connection

The heating mat consists of a heating cable attached to supporting aluminium foil.

Heating cables are connected to the 230V, 50Hz network. Rating IP 67. The connection may only
be carried out by persons with relevant electrici an’s qualifications (according to ordinance 50/78
Coll. in the Czech Republic)

Insulated conductors (milky colour) are active – connect them to the phase and neutral conductor.
Connect the free shielding wires to the green-yellow protective conductor.
Installation

Before carrying out the installation, make a drawing of the placement of the heating mat according
to the floor plan of the room.

Clean dirt from the floor.

Lay impact insulation according to the instructions of the manufacturer.

Carry out the laying of the heating mat according to the placement plan. After adapting the mat, the
heating conductor must always be attached with connecting tape, which simultaneously creates a
conductive connection to the aluminium foil. Minimum distance from the walls is 50mm.

In places where the mat is not installed in the ground plan, the surface needs to be levelled with a
levelling layer (e.g. 2mm thick Mirelon).

Make a groove in the base for the supply lead (cold lead) of the mat. The supply conductor must not
touch or cross the heating cable.

Create a groove in the base for the installation of the floor sensor. The groove must run between the
loops of the heating mat.

Install the floor sensor of the thermostat. The sensor is to be placed into an installation tube
(“gooseneck”); it mustn´t cross or touch the heating cable.
