ELEKTRA DM
ELEKTRA UltraTec
• Single-side powered,
power output 10 W/m
Thin Heating Cables
Application
The thin heating cables ELEKTRA DM and
ELEKTRA UltraTec are primarily intended for use
in rooms with a tile or natural stone floor
covering.
Additionally, they can be used with floor
covering materials as:
• Fitted carpet,
• Vinyl flooring,
• Parquet or other wooden covering,
• Laminate.
Fitted carpets and Vinyl flooring, however,
should be suitable for use with electric underfloor
heating and bear the following markings:
The thin heating cables can be laid directly on
concrete floors, self-levelling concrete slab, as well
as old ceramic tiles, terrazzo or water resistant
wooden floors.
The thin heating cables are laid in a thin layer
of flexible adhesive or self-levelling concrete slab.
They are usually used as a supplementary floor
heating system, in order to provide the user with
a “warm floor effect”. They, can however, be
used as a primary heating system.

Because of the thin nature, ELEKTRA UltraTec
cables can be used in applications where
elevating the floor level is not an option.

The power output of the heating cables
can vary +/-5% from the provided
nominal specifications.
The heating cables are suitable for
a 230V/50Hz rated voltage.

Never attempt a self-repair of the heating
cables. If the heating cables are damaged,
please contact an ELEKTRA authorized
installer.
Never expose the heating cables to
excessive stretching, stress or hit them
with sharp tools.
Never attempt to lay the ELEKTRA DM
heating cable if the ambient temperature
drops below -5°C (for the UltraTec cable:
-20°C ).
Never install the heating cables in places
where fixed furniture is planned (e.g. floor-
level wardrobes, kitchen units, baths).
Never use installation materials other than
those specified in the installation manual.
Never use nails or screws of any kind for
installation of the heating cables.
Caution:
Always install the heating cables
according to the installation manual.
Electrical connection of the heating cables
must be always performed by a certified
electrician.
The minimum distance between the
heating cables and other heat sources
(e.g. hot water pipes) should always
exceed 25 mm.

Choosing the right
heating cable
Before choosing the correct size of the heating
cable (or cables, if a large room area requires this),
plan their arrangement on the entire floor, or the
selected floor areas. The heating cables must not
be laid in places where fixed pieces of furniture
will be positioned.
Supplementary heating
– “warm floor effect”
• Ceramic tiles and stone floors
The heating cables should be laid at a distance
of 8 cm from one another. If this distance is
higher than 10 cm, the floor surface temperature
could noticeably feel uneven (the temperature
differences over 2°C).
The closer the cables are arranged, the faster
a “warm floor effect” will be provided.
• Wooden floors, Vinyl
or fitted carpet floorings
The heating cables should be laid at a distance
of 10 cm from one another.

Primary heating
When selecting the heating cable,
it is necessary to consider:
• The heat demands of the room (necessary to
cover the heat losses and maintain the required
temperature level).
• The fixed-furniture-free floor area, where the
heating cable can be laid.
• The heating cables should be laid at the
maximum distance of 10 cm from one another,
so that the underheated or cold spots do not
occur.
• The heating cables should be laid at a minimum
distance of 4 cm from one another for the
UltraTec cable or 5 cm for the DM cable,
for ceramic tile finishing.
• The distance between the heating cables
for wooden floors, Vinyl or fitted carpet
should be 10 cm.

Choosing the temperature
controller
A temperature controller is a core component of
any floor heating. The controller connects the
heating cable with the electrical system and
ensures that the required temperature of the floor
or ambient air in the room is maintained.
• If the heating cables serve as a supplementary
heating source in the room and the user
desires merely to enjoy a warm floor feeling,
then a controller equipped with a floor
temperature sensor is sufficient to keep the
required temperature of the floor.
• If the heating cables are the primary heating
source in the room, then what the user usually
wants is the optimum ambient temperature.
In this case, a temperature controller that
can measure air temperature should be
installed. Such a temperature controller should
be equipped with both an air temperature
sensor and an additional floor temperature
sensor (while measuring the ambient tempera-
ture, it protects the floor and the heating cable
from overheating).
For temperature control, either a manual electro-
nic controller may be used which keeps constant
temperature or a programmable electronic
controller which can be programmed in a daily
and/or a weekly cycle.
