Intelligent Heating Systems

If it wasn’t for the cozy warm feeling in the room, you would never know it had been fitted.

Unlike conventional heaters that warm one particular spot, LuxHeat radiant floor heating evenly distributes warmth throughout the floor and up into the room, leaving no uncomfortable cold spots.

The heat is directed where it is most pleasing – the feet – leaving the air we breathe slightly cooler. In fact, the air surrounding our bodies remains slightly cooler than our bodies, preventing that ‘’stuffy’’ feeling so often experienced in a room that is heated by forced air.

• 3” pre-spaced wiring is designed to reduce installation time and ensure even heat distribution.
• Dual wire technology with aluminium shield minimizes electromagnetic fields (EMF).
• The Mesh can be cut and flipped or rotated to provide maximum coverage; wires can also be removed from the mesh to help get into those hard-to-reach areas.
• The Self-Adhesive mesh on one side and double sided tape on the other, ensures the mat adheres to sub-floor and lies flat even when flipped or rotated.
• Radiant heat does not dry out the air, circulate dust or aggravate allergies.
• Out of sight, no unattractive plug-in heaters, radiators or vents; no storage hassles and no fan noise.
• No hot, exposed or moving parts and no maintenance.

Optimal Comfort, Easy Control and Contemporary design

The modern thermostat provides so much more than simple temperature control - it is a personalized and intuitive device designed to give a greater degree of control and comfort in the hands of the user.

The OJ Microline UWG4-4999 WIFI Programmable Touch Screen Thermostat with built-in GFCI is an “all-in-one” intelligent programmable thermostat for radiant floor heating, providing optimal comfort temperatures and energy savings. Designed and manufactured by OJ Electronics – Denmark.

• WiFi – WLAN network connection allows for remote access, compatible with Apple, & Android
• 3.5” color screen with easy interactive touch control.
• 7 Day, 4-Event program - Pre-programmed for quick set-up.
• Dual sensors (Air and Floor) with floor limiting feature.
• Built-in Class A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
• 5 year battery backup of clock and calendar.
• Child lock - prevents tampering.
• Tracks power consumption.

Mesh Cutting Techniques – Cut & Rotate

There are several ways the heating mat may be cut and turned to fit around corners and avoid obstacles such as fixtures and built-ins on the floor.

• Heating wires must never touch or cross
• Heating wire cannot be cut or shortened
• Heating wires must never be closer than 2 ½ inches apart
  
  

The mesh between the wires may be cut but take great care not to cut or nick the wire itself. Wire may also be removed from the mesh and laid out on the floor. Secure in position with pieces of 1” wide duct tape, or hotmelt glue.

This Kit Includes

LuxHeat Floor Heating Mat

LuxHeat's Radiant Floor Heating Mat is one of the most robust, versatile, easy to install floor heating systems available on the market today. The resin coated fibreglass re-enforcing mesh is designed to protect the heating cable and add strength to the layer of thinset or mortar.

The re-enforcing mesh can be cut, turned, flipped, or in part removed, to accommodate any room size or shape. While the MESH can be cut, the heater wire MUST NOT be cut or shortened.

• Elements are ETFE insulated and covered by a tough outer jacket, providing the ultimate dialectic and mechanical strength.
• Heater wire is less than 5/32" thick, ensuring minimal effect to finished floor height.
• Heater wires are pre-spaced at 3” intervals – providing optimal heat distribution.
• Mats are 20” wide, and available in various lengths.
• Watt density: 12w/sqft.
• Voltage: 120v.

UWG4-4999 WiFi Programmable Thermostat

The UWG4 Wifi Thermostat can be configured for control of Floor Temperature, Room Temperature, or Room Temperature with Floor Temperature Limiting - providing optimal comfort levels while ensuring floor coverings do not exceed recommended temperatures.

The UWG4 offers all the necessary functions to ensure easy installation and temperature control, for every floor type. Accurate and intelligent control reduces running costs and ensures personal comfort.

• Ambient Temp Range +32 to +104°F (0 to +40°C).
• Floor limit range: +41 to +104°F (+5 to +40°C).
• Dimensions: H 4.8” x W 3” x D 1”.
• Load: 15Amps (1800w@120v).
• Built-in Class A GFCI.
• Voltage: 120v.

LuxHeat Monitor

The LuxHeat Monitor is designed to measure the heating cable’s continuity during installation.

If the heating cable is cut or damaged during installation the Monitor will immediately alert the installer by means of a loud alarm and red flashing light. We still recommend an ohms test is carried out before, during and after installation.

If the alarm sounds we suggest contacting a professional to identify the damaged area and make the repair.

• Early warning system, avoiding costly repairs in the future.
• Connects directly to the heater - Live, Neutral and Earth.
• Provides peace-of-mind during installation.
• Offers real-time continuity monitoring.
• Includes loud alarm and flashing light.
• Works with all floor heating systems.
• Includes 2xAAA batteries.

Floor Sensor

The Floor Sensor is a reliable and accurate temperature sensing probe designed to measure floor temperatures when connected to a thermostat. OJ Thermostats’ default setting is Dual Sensing (Air/Floor), meaning the floor sensor will need to be installed and connected.

The thermostat can be set to measure AIR only, but for optimal control and comfort we recommend installing the floor sensor and using the thermostats default ‘Dual Sensor’ setting.

Installs directly between heating wires for accurate temperature readings

• Used in conjunction with Thermostat to limit floor temperature
• Resistance: 8 to 12 K OHM measures 68˚F to 86˚F (20˚C to 30˚C)
• Neutral polarity making for simple connections
• 15ft length allows for optimal placement
• Connects directly to thermostat
• Sensor type: NTC 10 K OHM
