User manual CALORIQUE FLOOR WARMING AND CEILING HEATING

[. . . ] Both systems are completely solid state so there are no moving parts to wear out, and the sealed construction means the system doesn't require cleaning. This operating manual is provided to help you understand how your system works, provide tips to ensure that it keeps operating at peak efficiency and to instruct technicians working near the system how to safely deal with the system. HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS The Calorique RCH and Warm Floors systems work just like the sun. When the thermostat calls for power, the heating panels warm the ceiling or floor surface which then give off infra-red heat, the same type of heat that you feel on a cool spring day -- although the air is cool, the infra-red heat from the Sun keeps you warm. As the infra-red heat rays radiate throughout the room, they uniformly warm the objects providing an even, comfortable heat while leaving the mass of air at a lower temperature. [. . . ] Routinely test thermostats according to their manufacturer's instructions. · · · · CAUTION NOTICES Although the Calorique systems require no maintenance, there are some things that must be taken into account to ensure that the systems are not damaged. Additional information for remodeling and repair technicians is available in the system's installation manual. If the installation manual was not left behind by the installers, call Calorique technical support at (508) 291-4224 for a replacement copy. RADIANT CEILING HEATING SYSTEM · Never pierce the ceiling. Hitting the electrically conductive portions of a heating panel can result in a potentially dangerous electric shock. Piercing the elements will damage them and may present a fire hazard. If a portion of the ceiling surface must be replaced (due to water damage, etc. ), replace any exposed heating panel sets. A qualified RCH installer must handle this operation to ensure that the re-installation is properly performed. · 4 · Never cover any heated portion of a ceiling with decorative beams, track lighting, trim or other objects. This may trap heat and create a potential for overheating. If new walls or partitions are added in contact with heated portions of a ceiling, the heating panels which are covered must be disconnected from power to avoid a potential for overheating. Note that additional heating panels may have to be installed to compensate for the disconnected panels. Do not add additional facing materials (such as gypsum board, sheet rock or acoustic tile) to heated ceilings. This may trap heat and create a potential for overheating. Hitting the electrically conductive portions of a heating panel can result in a potentially dangerous electric shock. Piercing the elements will damage them and may present a fire hazard. If a portion of the floor surface must be replaced, inspect any exposed heating panel sets for damage that may have occurred while removing the flooring. See the installation manual (Part 4 -- Inspection / Testing / Completion) for complete instructions on inspecting the panels.
