Installation Guide Danfoss ECdry Touch Kit
5 Designing the layout
Draw a oor plan of the room and determine the most logical location for the control sys­tem and the position of the oor heating mats. Consider the placement of the thermostat to get the most convenient access and make sure the necessary power supply is available.
The output cord from the control system will go into the right side of the heating element, so you should start laying the rst heat ele­ment on the right side of the oor and work towards the left side. Remember to keep at least 70 mm of free space between the skirting/wall and the rst heating element for the plug-in connection between the oor heating element and the control system. Use the ller material to ll this space afterwards.
Examples of calculations are provided below to help you work out how many ECdry oor heating mats are required. All ECdry oor heating mats are one metre wide and the standard length varies from one to ve me­tres. Reduce the length of the elements to the required size as shown in the table.
Example 1: When the area is 5 m wide and 6 m long, you will need 5 × 5 m ECdry oor heating mats, plus 5 square metres of ller material.
ller material. A ECdry oor heating exten­sion cord is available as an accessory. Use the cord in the event that you are unable to make a direct connection between two adjacent oor heating elements or between the 1st mat and thermostat kit. The exten­sion cords must only be placed in the ller material and not on top of the heating ele­ment. The extension cords can be extended with each other if necessary (if you need 3 m extension cords you can use 2 m + 1 m extension cords).
Example 3: When placing the elements after each other you should always cut away the cold end (25 cm) of the element to avoid cold zones.
Example 2: When the area is 3.75 m wide and 7.10 m long, you will need 6 × 4 m ECdry oor heating mats. Cut the 4 m long elements down to 3.75 m. You will also need

Installing Supply Cord or Extension Cords:
The cords must only be placed in the ller material and not over/in the heating element.
The ller material shall be cut so it envelopes the cords. The ECdry X can withstand maxi­mum 10 A.

1 m wide ller materials without heating (1, 2 and 4 m)
Make sure that no hot spots develop when using the oor heating system. Avoid hot spots by ensuring that the heat from the oor heating is homogeneously released to the area you wish to heat and that there is free space (ventilation) under the furniture.
When designing the layout, make sure not to install ECdry heating element under per­manent or built-in cupboards or re places/ ovens. ECdry have to be separated from other heat sources such as chimneys. Instead ECdry ller material should be used.

1�1 Connecting the ECdry elements
Bulges on the element may occur, but will disappear when the ECdry system is heated.
All elements are equipped with an end stop to insulate the connector and protect the connection against moisture. Remove the end stops with the special tool, just before making the connection with the next heat­ing mats. If all end stops are taken out at once, remember to leave the end stop in the last element.
Connect the plug-in connection of the second element into the plug-in connection of the rst element. Put the male and female connector together by hand before using the connec­tor tool to push the elements tight together. Check that the plug-in connection ts correctly and permanently. Continue with the subse­quent elements in the same manner.
Make sure that all plug-in connections t straight and without any mechanical stress. Discontinue the oor heating installation process in the event of damage to one or more components. Incorrect installation may cause problems and/or defects to the oor heating mats. Please take precautions not to drop sharp objects on the heating mats.
Use the enclosed aluminum tape to x mats to each other in order to secure connec­tions and to avoid movement of mats. Place aluminum tape in two positions: directly on connections (between mat connections and in the opposite end of the mat). In addition x 1st mat connection and output cord from ECdry Touch Kit.
Make sure that the end stop in the last element is in place before the oor covering is laid. Keep the end stops if you intend to remove/reposi­tion your oor heating system later.

Installation Guide Danfoss ECdry Touch Kit
1�1 Filling up the remaining space
At this point all connections between the elements should be aligned and connected and as much of the oor as possible should be covered with ECdry elements. The space without ECdry heating mats should be cov­ered with the ECdry Filler Material to ensure an even and homogenous oor surface.
A knife, a lineal (to cut along) and a wooden plate (behind the ECdry element) can be used when cutting the ECdry Filler Material to avoid cutting into the electrical parts and ensuring a straight cut.
To be certain that the distribution of the oor heating mats in your room is correct, we suggest you make everything t before you secure the elements permanently. It is most important to make sure that all plug-in connections are perfectly aligned to allow the ow of electricity from one element to the next. Put the oor heating mats plus any ller materials down as shown in the lay-out. Once you have correctly positioned all oor heating mats and you have cut the ller material to size, you can proceed with the permanent installation as explained in the following steps.
Fit the output cord
Cut a piece of material from the ller mate­rial to embed the output cord between the ECdry Controller and the ECdry heating mat.
AN324050550815en-000201 | 17Danfoss © | 2020.07
Installation Guide Danfoss ECdry Touch Kit
1�1 Mounting the ECtemp Thermostat
The electrical installation must be done by an authorised electrician. Mount the ECtemp thermostat to the wall. The ECtemp should be installed in accordance with the instruction manual supplied with the thermostat and the ECdry Touch Kit.
Cut a piece of material from the ller mate­rial to make room for the ECdry Supply Cord between the ECtemp thermostat and the ECdry Touch element.
Make sure not to fold and/or squeeze the cord between the thermostat and the oor heating element but make room for the cord in the ller material. Minimum bending diameter is 5 cm.
To place the sensor in the right spot, remove the cut-away area in the ECdry Touch
heating element and place the sensor down into the groove.
Fix the sensor to the heating mat with the enclosed aluminium tape.
1�1 Checking the ECdry oor heating system
Check that all work has been carried out in accordance with directions before testing the ECdry oor heating system. Testing may commence when everything has been correctly connected. Read the directions for the control system before you proceed. Set the temperature at maximum 35 °C. After a short while you will notice the ECdry oor heating mats are warming up.
If the oor heating mats are not warming up to the same temperature, the plug-in connections should be checked once again. Remember to switch o the ECdry system before checking.
Installation Guide Danfoss ECdry Touch Kit
1�1 Laying the top oor
Please consult the oor manufacturer to ensure that the oor covering is suitable for oor heating. The nal oor covering (lami­nate or parquet) can be laid when the ECdry heating system has been tested.
According to ISO 13732-2, the comfortable oor sur­face temperature depends on the ooring material.
Soft wood (pine)
22.5 - 28°C Hard wood (oak)
24.5 - 28°C
However, observe the maximum oor surface temperature according to the oor­ing manufacturer. For most wooden oor products, the temperature is usually around 27 °C. All temperature settings must be set some degrees higher to compensate for the heat resistance in the top ooring.
