How to connect a warm floor to the thermostat

"Warm floor" in the house is a good idea, he makes it comfortable and comfortable. A truly paradise place it will only be with the installation of the thermostat (thermostat). This is a device that will control the heating of the floor in the room in accordance with the air temperature. If you decide to establish a "warm floor", the first priority becomes connecting it to the thermostat - the main element, the "heart" of the entire system.

Floor connection operation to electricity through the thermostat - the task is simple. Many thermostat manufacturers took care of their consumers and depicted a mounting scheme on its body. But certain skills of working with electricity are still needed, so only you decide - make installation with your own hands or invite specialists.

All thermostats can be divided into two groups: programmable and unprogrammed. The latter - there are mechanical, electronic, with a touchscreen display. Despite this difference in the device, the principle of their connection is approximately the same. According to the installation scheme, thermostators are divided into embedded and overhead. They are approximately as a regular switch.

Room air temperature measurement sensors are also remote and built-in. The built-in is located inside the thermostat and they are installed in the place of the room, where the most convenient to measure the air temperature. Removes are divided into two sensors - floor and air. In the kitchen and in the bathroom advise to put sex sensors, because The air there may be warm, and the floor will remain cold.

Before installing the floor, immediately decide on the location of the thermostat and think over its connection to the power grid. To connect the thermostat, a voltage is 220 V AC. Then the connection can be performed using a socket or through the circuit breaker connected to a separate cable.

Placeing the floor, select a convenient place to install the thermal sensor. It is advisable not far from the thermostat, and this section of the floor must be affordable free of furniture.

If you install floors with infrared film, then the diagram is such: the thermal sensor is placed from the wrong side of the film, then connected with the wires with the thermostat. For cable floors that are poured with concrete, it is necessary to put the sensor in the corrugation, isolated from the penetration of concrete inward so that, if necessary, it was easy to replace the sensor. Then tube is supplied to the wall where the thermostat is set.

After the floor is laid, the thermostat is mounted. According to the size of the thermostat case in the wall, make a recess if the overhead thermostat is marked with the wall. Then remove the front panel, secure the device.

Compare the allowable power of thermoregulatory contacts with infrared or cable power. In the case when it is less - they put a magnetic starter, the coil of which has a denomination of 220 V. Heating cable connect with power using the magnetic starter contacts, a starter coil circuit connect with the thermostat output contacts. If the switching power of the contacts is sufficient, the heating cable connects to the output of the thermostat.

Read in the passport or instructions to the thermostat as the sensor chain should be connected to the terminals. Usually connectivity terminals to power 220 V are indicated as the phase L or F, N - zero. With a phasing, be very attentive.

Performing an independently connecting the thermostat, note that it plays a significant role in the "Warm floor" system. From how competently and correctly completed its installation, all further operation of the device and heating of the floor depends. Conducting the device to connect the device to the power grid - be careful, neat and careful.
