Congratulations with your new Danfoss oor heating system.
We are condent that you will be satised with your new system. Danfoss brings you optimum
comfort with the luxury and comfort of a warm oor as well as a pleasant room temperature.
Floor heating is the most comfortable type of heating because it is based on the fact that
warmth travels upwards; pleasant warmth for your feet, body and head.
The ECdry oor heating system consists of a
foam/carpet heating element with heating
mats inside. The system must al ways be controlled with a ECtemp, as it is an important
part of the safety and overheating protec tions
system.
The ECdry oor heating system can be used
under wooden oors such as parquet and
laminate. Please check the specications
ECdry has been tested and approved with
ooring materials with insulation values
from 0,07 to 0,18 m² K/W.
For best performance of the oor heating system, keep the insulation value from the ECdry
heating unit to oor surface as low as possible.
The ECdry oor heating system has been
developed to the dry application area for
underoor heating.

This symbol indicates that this product must not be disposed of with your
other household waste.
Danfoss declares that ECdry is tested according to the standard
EN/IEC 60335-2-96. Household and similar electrical appliances. Safety. Part 2-96.
Particular requirements for exible sheet heating mats for room heating.
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
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.

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.
Installation Guide Danfoss ECdry Touch Kit
1�1 Preparing the base
Before you start installing the product,
please ensure that the oor is:
• Permanently inexible
• Dry
• Flat and regular
• Dust- and fat-free
• Free from any sharp objects
Use a powerful vacuum cleaner to remove
all dust from the oor.
Remember to install a 0,20 mm vapour barrier on the suboor
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.
1�1 Cutting the ECdry oor heating element to size
Each end of the ECdry heating element consists of 25 cm without electrical parts inside.
The ECdry heating element may only be cut
at the far ends where there are no electrical
parts inside as marked on the product below.
Markings and symbols have been printed on
the ECdry heating mats:
Cutting area
Do not cut area. Electrical parts
inside. If cut, element will be destroyed.
To cut the element to size:
Carefully measure the piece you wish to cut
o and simply cut with a sharp knife.
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.
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.
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.
