Installing Temperature Sensors; Installation - AEG THERMO BODENTBS TB 50 160/1-8 Bedienung Und Installation

8.4 Test measurement 1
Before installation, please check the total resistance and
insulation resistance of the heating mats in their delivered
condition.
Note
The warranty is not valid without proof of this meas-
urement.
» Measure the total resistance and insulation resist-
ance of the heating mat.
» Check whether the measured values are in the per-
missible measuring range (see chapter "Specifica-
tion / Data table").
» Enter the measured values on the warranty card.
8.5 Preparing the substrate
» Make sure that the substrate is clean, dry, solid and
free from dirt and grease.
» Make sure that no sharp edges or pointed objects
are protruding from the floor. These could damage
the heating conductor.
» If the substrate is not level, carry out levelling oper-
ations so as to avoid cavities beneath the heating
conductor. Settlement joints in the substrate must not
be bridged using the heating mat.

9. Installation

9.1 Installing a flush box
Please install all power cables in a flush box for connec-
tion to the temperature controller.

Installation – for qualified contractors
» Choose an appropriate position to install the flush
box.
» Install an additional flush box if you would like to con-
nect more heating mats.
» Always install an additional flush box if the cold lead
or temperature sensor lead is too short.

9.2 Installing temperature sensors

The temperature sensor must be installed in a conduit.
The conduit is included as standard in the set.
» Choose an appropriate position for installing the con-
duit. Observe the instructions in chapter "Installation
diagram / Position of the temperature sensor".
» Install the conduit and insert the temperature sensor
into it.
9.3 Installing the cold lead
You can install the cold lead in a conduit or flush with the
floor in a groove in the screed.
9.3.1 Installing in a conduit
Material losses
!
The cold lead must be installed in a separate con-
duit. The cold lead and the temperature sensor lead
must not be installed in the same conduit.
» Install an additional conduit and install the cold lead
in the conduit.
» Make sure that the female connection for the heating
conductor/cold lead is not subjected to a tensile load
of more than 120 N.
9.3.2 Installation in the floor
Material losses
!
If installed in the floor, the cold lead must be able to
be inserted in the flush box without an extension.
The cold lead may not cross or touch the heating
conductor.
» Chisel out a groove in the screed by using appropri-
ate tools and install the cold lead in this groove.
» Make sure that the female connection for the heating
conductor/cold lead is not subjected to a tensile load
of more than 120 N.
