Follow the step by step instructions below to install
your eRibbon heating system.
 |
Step 1
Draw an installation plan showing the placement of the mats, floor sensor, and
junction box or boxes. Ensure the eRibbon mats are not laid in areas where fixed
appliances may be positioned. Decide a suitable position for the thermostat.
Note
Ensure your eRibbon is correctly sized before you unpack the
product. Call 01299 266 536 with any questions. |
 |
Step 2 The floor should
now be prepared ready for the eFoam insulation.
All loose particles should be removed and the floor
thoroughly cleaned and treated with any proprietary sealants as normally
required. |
 |
Step 3
Position and cut the efoam to fit your room size securing it with the spray
adhesive and using the utility tape to cover all eFoam joints. |
 |
Step 4
Position the double sided tape at regular intervals across the floor where the
eRibbon mats are going to be laid. |
 |
Step 5 Perform the
following tests: Insulation resistance test, a heating cable resistance test and
a floor sensor resistance test. Record your findings in the test & commission
form enclosed in the box. |
 |
Step 6 Unfold the eRibbon
with the fibreglass net facing up, lay the eRibbons onto the eFoam insulation.
Using the double sided adhesive tape clearly fixed to the eFoam ensures the
eRibbon is installed with no raised folds. Each pair of cold tails should be
connected to a low level connection point.
Note Do not over lap the eRibbon mats |
 |
Step 7 Position the floor
sensor thermostat probe directly below the electrical connection point.
The floor sensing probe should be installed in-between two
heating ribbons and secured with the single sided adhesive tape (the floor
sensor is used to measure the maximum temperature beneath the floor). |
 |
Step 8
With the eRibbon laid and secure the finished floor surface can now be laid.
