SECTION 1

UNDERSTANDING EverWarm Radiant Heat FILM

Carbonic Heating Film is a revolutionary solution to today’s radiant floor

heating applications. The Heating Film is manufactured to make radiant floor

heating more readily available, far more adaptable for unique applications

and designs, and far easier to install than many other radiant floor products.

Carbonic Heating Film is 40.6 inches wide (but can be cut to half the width if

desired for certain applications) and is available in many lengths to

accommodate your specific needs. The Heating Film may be cut to any

length with the use of scissors, a razor knife, or other cutting instruments. It

can also be cut at any angle needed for each application, including the

cutting of a hole for an electrical outlet, toilet flange, or floor register.

There are a few things to know about the structure of the Heating Film.

Electrical current-conducting copper bus bars run down the length of the

Heating Film (2 bus bars are required to create heat - see drawing). Should a

copper bus bar be cut during the installation of the product, you may repair it

by either adding an “Adder” at the end or by installing a “Jumper” at the cut

point. More about these later.

Under no circumstances should the active areas (gray) of the Heating Film

be allowed to overlap itself or an adjacent piece of the Heating Film. The

product includes three areas (the two white outer edge strips and the white

center “Cut Line” strip) suitable for nailing and stapling to sub-floor, if

deemed necessary, for the designed installation of the product. These strips

are non-conductive and non-heat generating. All fasteners used to secure

the Heating Film to the sub-floor (excluding adhesives), including staples or

nails that are to be used, must only be placed through these designated

areas and not in the active carbon (gray) heating areas. Failure to do so will

cause problems with the system and/or damage the Heating Film and

associated areas including the building structure. The Heating Film can be

installed with either side facing up.

EXPECTED FLOOR TEMPERATURE

Heating performance is never guaranteed. EverWarm Radiant Heat is

designed to deliver 15 W/sq. ft., with an average attainable temperature

between 75°F (23.9°C) and 104°F (40°C), depending upon the subfloor, the

layers of materials included in the floor installation, and the type of flooring

used. The attainable floor temperature is dependent on how well the floor is

insulated, the temperature of the floor prior to start up, and the overall

thermal drain of the floor mass. Insulation is recommended under the

Heating Film for best performance.

WIRING ASSEMBLIES

Since this is a high voltage product, a connection system is required for

power. A “Harness” is used to connect the Heating Film to a thermostat and

power supply, and a Harness is used to connect multiple pieces of Heating

Film in certain installations. EverWarm Radiant Heat Harnesses, Adders,

and Jumpers are manufactured for either 120V or 240V applications. The

wiring assemblies are designed for maximum efficiency and will work well

for almost any layout requirements. It is important to note that there are six

crimping terminals per sheet for the 120v Harness and four crimping

terminals per sheet for the 240v Harness.

THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF WIRING ASSEMBLIES:

1. Harnesses (J, J2, J3, J4): Harnesses

are used for connecting sheet(s) of Heating

Film with a 12 foot long “cold lead” that is

run to a thermostat, or to connect to

another sheet of Heating Film. Harnesses

are available in 120 volt and 240 volt

configurations. For a single panel 120 volt

application a “J-120” (J indicates one sheet,

and 120 is the voltage) would be required.

For a dual sheet would be required.

For a dual sheet configuration using 240 volts a “J2-240” (J2 indicates two

sheets, and 240 is the voltage) would be required. Connections for a three

sheet system would require a J3. A J4 Harness will connect four sheets of

Heating Film together. If there are three and a half sheets needed, a J4 can

be used by trimming off the unused portion of the Harness.

2. Adders (A, A2, A3, A4): Adders are

used to attach one sheet of Heating Film

to another, when a thermostat cold lead

connection is not required. Adders are

available in 120 volt and 240 volt

configurations. To add a single sheet

of Heating Film to a 120 volt system, an

“A-120” (A indicates one additional

sheet, 120 indicates the voltage) would

be required. To add two sheets to an

existing sheet, use an A2. To add three sheets, an A3 will be required.

An A4 will connect up to four sheets to an existing sheet or sheet set.

3. Jumper (JP-60): A Jumper can be

used to reconnect a copper bus bar if it

has been cut for completion of the

layout. The Jumper is sixty (60”) inches

in length and can be used on both 120

volt and 240 volt systems. They are

helpful for going through door ways,

around corners, around posts, and

around columns. Jumpers can also be

used around cut outs for floor ports

such as receptacles, registers, and floor ports.

EDGE SEALING TAPE

It is critical to seal any cut that is made to the gray

area of the Heating Film. The Edge Sealing Tape

comes in one length (42 inches), but in two

different widths, 4.8 inches wide and 2.4 inches

wide. The wider Edge Sealing Tape (4.8 inches

wide) is used to seal the edge of the Heating Film

to which the wiring Harness, or Adder is attached.

The narrower Edge Sealing Tape (2.4 inches wide)

is used to seal any cut edges where there is no

attached wiring Harness, Adder, or any other cuts (including holes cut in

between the copper bus bars) that have been made to the Heating Film during

the installation process. The Edge Sealing Tape is a highly-adhesive

fleece-backed butyl tape. The fleece backing that is the same as that used on

EverWarm Radiant Heat Film, making the Edge Sealing Tape compatible with

all types of adhesives.

REMEMBER: THE EDGE SEALING TAPE MUST BE USED ON ANY GRAY EDGE,

OR GRAY AREA OF THE HEATING FILM THAT HAS BEEN CUT.

THERMOSTATS

EverWarm Radiant Heat offers a variety of direct line voltage thermostats in

both programmable and non-programmable models. All EverWarm Radiant

Heat thermostats in the United States are GFCI-protected (required by the

NEC). Each thermostat includes a floor sensor, which EverWarm Radiant

Heat requires for each installation. Each thermostat senses both ambient air

and floor temperatures, enabling installers to set the floor temperature to the

flooring manufacturer’s desired set point, along with maximizing the potential

comfort of the room’s environment. The maximum load allowed on a standard

thermostat is 15 amps. The maximum amount of total Heating Film allowable

per circuit translates to the following:

110-120VAC: 31.25 LINEAR FT = 100 FT2PER ZONE (1 THERMOSTAT)

220-240VAC: 62.5 LINEAR FT = 200 FT2PER ZONE (1 THERMOSTAT)

Installations that require a larger amount of Heating Film per thermostat (over

200 square feet per zone) will require the use of a “master” thermostat that

controls a “slave” power unit. Up to 2000 square feet of Heating Film can be

installed and combined using 10 slave units. Up to 10 Slave Units can be

controlled by one Master Thermostat.
