The Devimat™ is self-adhesive, so the mat should be laid with the cable facing upwards. In situations where the mat has to be turned over or the mat cannot stick to the surface, the mat can be secured to the floor using:
For concrete floors: Devipins or a hot glue gun (taking care not to damage the cable or
For wooden floors: a staple gun or
For Both: double sided adhesive tape max. 35mm width, using the minimum amount with maximum adhesion. |

The Devimat™ must be laid evenly over the floor area avoiding all obstructions like pipes, baths and cupboards (yellow lines indicate permanent fixtures).
It is acceptable to lay the Devimat™ under suspended cupboards and wash basins. The Devimat™ must be guided around drains, basins and other objects which are attached to the floor to avoid the risk of drilling holes in the Devimat™ at a later stage. |
The flexible conduit (12-16mm) for the floor sensor (centre of picture above) needs to be parallel with the mat.
In situations where the thermostat is not located close to the floor and more than one circuit has been installed, it is recommended that a connection/junction box is installed close to the floor. This low level connection box is useful should the cold tails of the Devimat™ be too short or situations where the controller is to be located outside the room, i.e. a bathroom. The connection box is also useful in the unlikely event that the sensor requires replacement.
The wiring regulations state that the controller should be located away from sources of water. |
