Installation Instructions

Pre-installation checklist for the installation site

  • Clean the floor.
  • Make sure there are no loose bolts or screws on the floor. Thoroughly remove the moisture on the floor as well.

STEP1 Deploy the insulator.

Put the insulator on the floor and fix it using ordinary OPP tapes. (* Place the insulator with the smooth side up.)

STEP2 Deploy the film (Heat Plus).

Deploy the film (Heat Plus). (* Make sure that the film does not overlap when fixing. Make sure to cut up along the cutting line.)

STEP3 Insulate the film

Insulate the exposed edge of the film (Heat Plus) using insulate tapes or butyl tapes. (* A butyl tape is also a type of insulation tape.)

Insulate the All Coated Film.
The entire exposed sections of the All Coated Film must be insulated.
Leave the parts that are to be connected with the terminal.
Insulate the strap film.
For strap films, only insulate the copper-coated parts.
For strap films, only insulate the copper-coated parts.

STEP4 Connecting terminals

Put the insulator on the floor and fix it using ordinary OPP tapes. (* Place the insulator with the smooth side up.)

STEP5 Connecting wires (cables)

At the starting terminal, engage the cable as folded. * When connecting cables, make sure they are not entangled.

Connect all the cables at the shorter terminals first. Then, connect the cables to the longer terminals. * Use strippers when removing the shielding of the cables.

For strap films, only insulate the copper-coated parts.

STEP6 Insulating the cables

Insulate the joinings of the cables, terminals, and films using butyl tapes.
Press the insulating tape firmly to make sure no moisture may get through. After insulating, use ordinary tape to tidy up.

STEP7 Disposal of the insulator (cutting off insulators)

The parts where cables and butyl tapes are can be difficult to finish.
For this, cut up the insulator at the corresponding part and prevent the moisture from coming up.

STEP8 Install the controller

Refer to the installation instructions for the controller to connect the controller with the film.
* For safety, use a separate breaker for each controller.

STEP9 Install the controller

Check whether the capacity of the film that is connected and the actual wattage match. Now, the installation is complete.
* Be sure to check whether the maximum capacity of each controller is not exceeded.

Post-installation instructions

  • 1. Test-run and covering of the wires connecting the controller
  • Engage the power and check whether the breaker works properly.
  • Check whether the entire heating film heats up properly.
  • Once the films work properly, install the controller on the controller holder. Then, cover up the exposed cable with wire covers.
  • 2. Perform moisture-proofing using OPP tapes. Then, install the film protectors.
  • Cover up the parts where the film is not fixed and the cables with OPP tape to keep moisture out. Then, install the proper film protectors based on the type of finishing materials to be used.
  • Reinforced hard floor: No protector needed.
  • Vinyl floor: PE protectors needed.
  • Deco tiles and floor heating panels (finishing materials with adhesives): Magnesium board
  • 3. Tidy up and install finishing materials
  • Be careful not to damage the film when using sharp tools as you remove debris from the installation work.
  • Once the film is all finished up, install the hard floor materials, vinyl floor, or tiles, etc., to complete the installation work.

Tip 1 The secondary safety devices in case the controller fails or heats up excessively

  • Normally, the sensors and overheat preventers are used to ensure safety.
    However, it is recommended to install bimetal safety devices if you require additional safety.
  • Simply put, a bimetal is a sensor that is triggered at a certain temperature.
    Connect the bimetal sensor to the power line of the film and attach it to the bottom of the film. Once there is an overheating, the device will cut the power off.
  • The installation instructions for this device is as follows;
  • Cut one of the power supplies lines of each film and connect a bimetal in between.
  • Then, attach the bimetal in the middle of the film using tape.

Tip 2 How to remove induction currents

  • When you activate the film in a highly humid area or where there are metallic walls, such as sandwich panels, you may feel an induction current on your body. When this happens, install insulation fabric on the film before connecting the cables to the grounding of the service outlet or other grounding spots so that the induction current can be drained out.
  • This is recommended in areas that are used by the elderly, expecting mothers, or children.
