WHAT YOU NEED FOR CARBONTEC® INSTALLATION
The following additional materials are required for installation of the Carbontec heating system:
1. Toroidal transformer which steps down voltage from 220V to 24/36/42V
It is necessary to use a step-down transformer as the heating film Carbontec is a low-current material and it is therefore completely safe to use. The simplest and most reliable solution is the use of toroidal transformers. The transformers differ in terms of weight and size depending on the total switching power. Use the following formula to determine the required power of the transformer:
Рtransformer = Sfilm х Рsq.meters, where
- Рtransformer – is the transformer power, W
- Sfilm – is an area of the heating film, square meters
- Ркв.метра – is the capacity of one square meter of the film,
2. Temperature controller
The temperature of the heated surface or temperature of the air in the room is regulated by the temperature controllers with remote temperature sensor (for underfloor heating systems) or a temperature sensor (in the case of a ceiling or wall heating system). Temperature controllers differ in their functionality. Our range includes both low-cost models with mechanical control, and multifunction models with digital control and possibility for programming the system operation algorithm depending on user preferences.

Single core copper cable with cross-section of 2.5; 4.0 or 6.0 mm. 2 is used for connection of the heating bands of the Carbontec heating film. It is recommended to use PV-3 cable (flexible vinyl installation wire). It should be remembered that there is a limit on the length of the wire of a certain section without loss of capacity in the low-voltage systems. Maximum wire lengths for the heating system Carbontec are presented in the table:
| Cable cross section, mm² | 2,5 | 4,0 | 6,0 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Max cable length, m | 6 | 9,5 | 14 |
3. Terminal blocks
Terminal blocks are required for installation of the equipment wires on the current-carrying copper conductors of the heating film Carbontec. Due to their design, they provide hard and high-quality contact between the heating material and connecting wires. Two terminal blocks are required for each band of the heating material.
4. Insulating material 3M (only for CBW550-220-NI).
All places of cross-sections and installation of the terminals should be insulated with fiberglass insulation tape 3M for safety and sealing.
