2. Installation
The rubber heated mat must be installed on a flat and clean surface.
The rubber heated mat can be used at ambient temperature from +10°C to – 20°C.
The rubber heated mat is not intended for use on stairs!
The load class is 33-34 Commercial (persons and light duty trolleys with rubber wheels)
3. Clearing the area where the rubber heated mat will be installed.
Clear all ice and snow from the area where the rubber heated mat will be installed making
sure the surface is free from rocks, glass, protruding nails and other sharp objects which
could cause damage to the bottom of the rubber heated mat. If the area is covered with a
lot of hard packed ice and snow that cannot be removed, it is necessary to plug the rubber
heated mat into a 230 V socket outlet. Depending upon the amount of ice and the outside
temperature, melting the ice away can take a full day or more. Once the ice and snow has
melted, take the heated mat away and remove sharp objects from the surface. The surface
is now prepared for the installation of the mat in its final position.
4. Crumpled rubber heated mat.
If, after unpacking, the rubber heated mat is found crumpled, proceed as follows:
straighten the power cord at the powered end of the mat leading to the outlet. Position the
rubber heated mat at the desired location. At cold temperatures, the rubber heated mat
might not have a perfectly flat surface as it is crumpled. Plug in the mat and as it heats up
it will gradually flatten and can be adjusted to the final position before being secured.
5. Power cord and safety device testing.
For safety reasons, the rubber heated mat is fitted with a residual current device and a
plug with rated actuating current of I ∆n ≤ 30mA. This device turns off the power and
prevents fire and electrical shock if the rubber heated mat is damaged. It is important
to test the device to be certain it is working properly after the mat is installed in
accordance with the instructions.
Testing procedure for the residual current device:
a) Locate the test and reset buttons on the device.
b) Plug the power cord into the outlet. Press the RESET button. The light should go
on.
c) Press the TEST button; the light should go out.
d) Press the RESET button again and the light should come back on.
e) If the light does not come on, make sure there is voltage at the outlet.
f) If the safety device still does not work, contact FENIX Slovensko.
