7. Appliance description

The heating mat is a surface heating element. The heating mat comprises a heating conductor which is coiled over a self-adhesive fabric.The heating mat is glued directly to the screed or to level-ling compound (e.g. oating screed). The heat generated by the heating mat is thus transferred directly to the oor.The required oor temperature is set via an external temperature controller. The temperature controller is equipped with a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor must be installed at heating level.26_07_29_0100_

51 Heating conductor2 Temperature sensor3 Conduit (tube for installing the temperature sensor)4 Female connection for heating conductor/cold lead5 Cold lead (electrical power cable)The heating mat is switched on or off according to the oor temperature set on the temperature controller.The temperature controller takes account of heat gain, e.g. due to sunlight or lighting, and provides frost pro-tection.The temperature controller is self-monitoring. In the event of a power failure, sensor break or sensor short-circuit, the heating automatically switches off.7.1 Standard deliveryTBS TB 50 160/1-8 ◦ Heating mat ◦ Two type plate labels (warranty card / main junction box) TBS TB 50 Set 160/1-8 ◦ Heating mat ◦ Conduit (ø 10 mm) with sensor well ◦ Anti-kink bend ◦ Temperature controller FRTD 903 ◦ Temperature sensor ◦ Two type plate labels (warranty card / main junction box) 7.2 Warranty card / installation diagramYou must complete the warranty card and installation di-agram fully.
