Electric & Hydronic Floor Heating Systems

MTC Operations Manual

A Comfort Heat floor heating system has been installed in your floor. Under floor heating will
warm from the floor up giving you unparalleled feeling of comfort. This heating system is
controlled by an electronic thermostat that uses a floor sensor for optimum temperature control.

PROIR TO TURNING ON
The sub-floor and screed have to be fully cured before turning the heating on. For sand & cement screeds you must wait
at least 3 weeks before turning on. With Ultra-thin installations, you must wait 2-3 days for the tile glue to cure. When
turning on the floor for the first time, increase the floor temperature gradually over 2-3 days.

PRODUCT WARRANTY SUGGESTED TEMPERATURE SETTINGS

TILE CABLE - 10 years BATHROOM - 24 ~ 28ºC
SLAB CABLE - 10 years LARGE TILED AREA - 21 ~ 22ºC
CARPET MATS - 5 years CARPET - 19 ~ 21ºC
TIMBER MATS - 5 years TIMBER - 24ºC
THERMOSTAT & SENSOR - 2 years SLAB - 21ºC

The MICROTEMP RANGE of electronic thermostats are specifically designed for underfloor heating systems.
The thermostat is vertically mounted and has a 2pole isolator with 16A output relay.

MTC - The MTC thermostat is a manual thermostat. You simply switch it on, and set the desired temperature. When the
red light is on, the floor is heating. If there is no light, the floor is either off or at selected temperature. A flashing light
means there is an error.

Light
The light indicates when the floor is drawing power (heating). When the red
light is OFF this indicates that the floor is at set temperature and will only switch
back ON once the floor drops 1ºC below set temperature.

Set Up
Adjust temperature dial to desired floor temperature and switch on.

disturb the thermostat function. If a screened

cable is used, the screen must not be earthed
but must be connected to terminal 6.

PLACEMENT OF THERMOSTAT WITH

BUILT-IN AIR SENSOR
The thermostat is to be mounted on the wall
with free air circulation around it . Furthermore
it has to be placed where it is not influenced by
any other heating sources (e.g. the sun), draft
from doors or windows, or by the temperature
of an exterior wall.

ERROR DETECTION
The MTC has built-in error detection which will
de-energize the heating circuit if the sensor is
damaged or if it detects an open or shorted
sensor circuit.

CAUTION!
Disconnect all electrical power prior to installing
English or servicing this unit.

the sensor can be mounted in a tube which is
placed between 2 heating cables. The tube is
ended towards the floor surface and sealed. If
required, the sensor cable can be extended up
to about 100 m with a standard installation ca-
