INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING INTO A CONCRETE FLOOR

3.1

General Information

Installing your floor safe according to these installation instructions is simple and easy to
carry out with some basic technical knowledge. However, if you are not confident that you
can install the floor properly yourself, please commission a specialist company so that no
consequential damage occurs and the insurance cover is not voided.
If you want to insure the contents (material assets) of your safe, professional floor
installation is a requirement according to the European certification standard EN 1143-1.
The safe achieves its optimum protective function only after being embedded in concrete
in a load-bearing building structure. The floor safe must be encased in at least 100 mm of
EN
concrete.
When installing in an external floor, please note that you may create an additional thermal
bridge around the floor safe. Without proper insulation measures, condensation water can
form in the safe.
3.2 Preparation
• Check the functionality of the floor safe before setting into concrete. Make sure that the
top (door) of the safe is on top.
• If you have a safe with an electronic lock, make sure that no moisture can penetrate into
the area around the keypad and the battery compartment during concreting. Tape this
area in a waterproof way to avoid short circuits and malfunctions of the lock.
• As the floor safe needs to be surrounded on all sides by a concrete layer at least 100 mm
thick, the recess in the floor must be at least 100 mm larger all round than the external
dimensions of the safe (see Figure 1).
