HOW IT WORKS
At a Glance:
|
|
|
The low-voltage, self-regulating
heating element can be safely
installed for radiant floor heating as well as roof deicing systems.
|
|
The transformer converts the line voltage to low voltage and
regulates the system, ensuring safe, accurate performance.
|
|
The fully programmable
thermostat for your
radiant floor heating system can be easily programmed, allowing you to select
the times that you want your floor heating system activated as
well as the ideal temperature for your room
(air) or floor.

A Closer Look at Low-Voltage, Radiant Heating System Components:
Heating Element -
The floor heating element is a thin, flexible and durable polymer heating element that is
self regulating. When the ambient
temperature rises, the electrical resistance in the heating element increases and the consumption
of electricity decreases. So, as the material gets warmer, less electricity
passes through the heating element, making this system one of the most
energy-efficient systems on the market. The self regulating
attribute ensures that the element will not overheat.
The floor heating system is ideal for renovation and new
construction, and can be used under almost any flooring, including tile,
stone, hardwood, laminate, resilient and carpet, etc. No additional floor
buildup is required when heating floors with the
FloorHeat
radiant heated floor system. FloorHeat is a safe low-voltage radiant heating
product for practically any application.
Power Unit - The step down transformer converts the line voltage (220 Volts)
to the low voltage (60 Volts or less). The advanced circuitry in the
power unit regulates the system, assuring safe, accurate, and optimal performance.
FloorHeat operates on low-voltage and does not require a ground fault
switch. It is normally connected to a 24 volt transformer, but can also be
run by solar or wind-power sources. The system is maintenance free, easily
zoned and energy efficient.
Activation Device - The floor heating system is fully
automated and the programmable thermostats save energy by allowing you to
have the radiant floor heating system activate only during those times when
you need. Thermostats are available that
feature a sensor in the floor to measure floor temperature or a sensor that
senses the temperature of the room (air).
The MicroReg electronic power controller features a relay output for infinitely variable
setting of requested heating output, up to 10A.
