conductive parts such as water pipes.
It is recommended to check that the wire is
working, immediately before commencing
tiling.
It is recommended to take particular care when
tiling not to dislodge or damage the heating
wire. Ensure that during the course of the
installation that no damage is caused by (but
not limited to) falling objects, sharp objects etc.
It is recommended to ensure the end cap and
manufactured joint are under a full adhesive
bed or levelling compound and covered with a
tile.
It is recommended to ensure that a heat loss
calculation has been carried out and heating
requirements have been met, if you are using

3. FLOOR COVERINGS
This manual gives instruction for installation of the BEKIA underoor heating system under ceramic,
quarry or natural stone tiles. The maximum thermal resistance of the oor must not exceed 0,15 [m²K / W].
It is possible to install this system under oor nishes such as wood or vinyl, by applying a self
levelling compound over the radiant wire. You must ensure that all heating cables are completely covered
with a minimum of 10mm self levelling compound. It is important that the levelling compound is suitable
for use with underoor heating.
NOTE: Delicate oor nishes such as wood or vinyl have a maximum oor surface temperature of 27°C.
This temperature must NOT be exceeded. Please contact Rointe for further advice if you wish to install the
heating wire under any oor nishes other than ceramic, quarry or natural stone tiles.
4. MATERIALS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION
Components included in your Rointe BEKIA underoor kit:
• BEKIA radiant wire.
• Installation manual.
Additional components needed as part of your Rointe BEKIA underoor installation:
• A thermostat with oor sensor.
• 30mA Residual Current Device (RCD), required
as part of all installations.
• Digital multi-meter required for testing the
resistance of the wire and oor sensor.
• Electrical housing, back boxes and junction
boxes.
(Back box must be at least 35mm deep)
• Electrical trunking/conduit for housing the
power leads.
• Duct tape (to secure the oor sensor and loose
wires).
• Gloves.
5. SUBFLOOR PREPARATION
Wooden suboors:
• Ensure adequate oor ventilation.
• Existing oorboards need to be securely xed and if necessary pre-levelled with a latex/cement self
levelling compound to give a ush t for the subsequently applied WBP plywood (18mm) or an insulated
tile backer board (10mm).
• A rigid base is essential - xing WBP plywood or Insulation Board to joists will not provide a suitable
oor nish for accepting tiles.
Concrete suboors:
• Ensure you use an extruded polystyrene building or tile backer board (Insulation Board) if installing your
radiant wire onto a cement-based oor.
• Fixing the board should be as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
EN
7
6. TESTING THE HEATING WIRE
The radiant wire must be tested before, during and after tiling. We recommend the use of a digital multimeter
set to a range of 0-2 KΩ for testing. The resistance (Ω) of each wire should be measured. You should carry out
the following tests and should expect the results detailed below:
• Live to neutral should show the resistance value listed in the table on page 4. A ± 5% Ohm reading
tolerance is allowed under manufacturing guidelines. Record the readings on the control card at the
back of the manual.
• Live to earth and neutral to earth should show innity.
NOTE: Due to the high resistance of the heating element, it may not be possible to get a continuity reading
from the wire and as such, continuity testers are not recommended. When checking resistance, make sure
your hands do not touch the meter’s probes as the measurement will include your internal body resistance
and render the measurement inaccurate. If you do not get the expected results, or at any time you believe
there may be a problem, please contact our helpline for guidance.
Floor Sensor
Ensure that the oor sensor is tested before the nal oor nish has been laid. The oor sensor values can
be found in the thermostat instructions. When testing the oor sensor ensure that the meter can read up
to 20kΩ. Rointe thermostats use a 10kΩ oor sensor. The expected resistance is: 10kΩ at 25°C, 12.1kΩ at 20°C,
14.7kΩ at 15°C.
7. ELECTRICAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
All electrical connections must be undertaken by a certied electrician. All work must conform to current
Electrical Regulations. The BEKIA electric underoor
heating system must be controlled via a room
thermostat at all times.
Installing a Residual Current Device (RCD)
The radiant wire must be wired via an 30mA RCD.
A dedicated RCD must be installed if one is not already
present. No more than 7.5kW of heating may be
connected to a single 30mA RCD.
Installing Electrical Boxes and Trunking
A deep (35-40mm) back box is required for the
thermostat. If installing more than two heating mats, a
junction box will be required. The wiring from the
heating wire to the thermostat should be protected
by conduit or plastic trunking.
EN

Connecting the Thermostat
The thermostat should be installed within the room to be heated. In most bathroom installations the
thermostat cannot be located within the bathroom itself as the thermostat could be IP20 rated and must
be located outside of Zone 2. In such cases the thermostat must be tted to the outside of an internal wall
of the bathroom, as close to the installation as possible. Rointe thermostats are rated up to 16A. For larger
installations exceeding 16A multiple thermostats or a suitable contactor will be required. For further advice
contact our helpline.
Once the electrical connections have been made and the system has been tested, the electrician must
complete the control card at the end of this installation manual. This information must be displayed at or
near the consumer unit.
8. HOW TO MODIFY THE WIRE
NEVER cut the heating element.
Check wire size
Double-check that the plan has the proper room dimensions and that you have the correct size. They
shouldn’t run backwards and forwards between walls and obstructions as shown in the examples. Depending
on insulation, airow and overall heat-loss within the room, additional heating may be required.
NOTE: When laying two or more radiant wires, ensure the cold tails reach the thermostat.
EN

9. INSTALLING THE WIRE
Step 1 - Mark the suboor
Ensure that the suboor is of the same construction where you
intend to lay the wire to ensure that the heating wire performs
eectively. Rointe always recommend that insulation boards,
such
as Rointe Insulation Boards (10mm recommended), are used to
improve the eciency of the radiant wires.
Using a permanent marker, mark out areas on the suboor where
units and xtures will be tted. DO NOT install the wire in any of
these areas. Start by laying the wire in the location closest to the
thermostat. Mark the positions and planned route of the power
lead cables as well as the oor sensor.
ALL MANUFACTURED JOINTS NEED TO BE PLACED ON THE
FLOOR UNDER A FULL BED OF ADHESIVE AND TILES.
If you have awkward areas in the room, the wire can be t these
areas. When doing this ensure that you DO NOT let the heating
element cross or touch. Ensure any loose wires are no closer than
80mm from each other, the wall.
Step 2 - Test the Heating wire
Before installing the heating wire perform the same test as
described on page 7 to ensure that the radiant wire has not been
damaged during planning.
Step 3 - Turn and ax the wire
Ensure you have correctly inserted the thread in step 2. Be careful
not to cut the heating wire. Fix it to the oor using the xing strips.
DO NOT TAPE OVER THE MANUFACTURED JOINTS OR FLOOR
SENSOR TIP.
If you nd that once the heating wire has been laid you have too
much of the wire left over STOP, contact Rointe immediately.
Remember you must NEVER cut the heating element to t
an area or leave surplus mats behind units or xtures. If you
are installing multiple radiant wires in one room they should be
connected in parallel.
Step 4 - After installation test
Perform the same test as in step 2. If at this stage you do not get
the expected reading or you are getting an open circuit contact
Rointe.

Step 5 - Install oor sensor
The oor sensor must be installed centrally between two runs of
heating element and should extend a mInimum of 150mm into the
heated area. Secure the sensor to the oor using tape.
DO NOT TAPE OVER THE SENSOR TIP.
Avoid placing the oor sensor in areas of heat uctuations e.g. near
hot water pipes or radiators. It may be necessary to cut a channel in
the oor to ensure that the oor sensor and power supply cable are
kept at the same height as the heating element.
When installing the oor sensor (supplied with the thermostat) DO
NOT cross over or under the heating element. At this stage the oor
sensor must also be tested. Check the resistance of the oor sensor
using a multi-meter.
The reading should be approximately 9-23KΩ depending on the
room temperature. If no reading is registered, the oor sensor may
be damaged. If this is the case call Rointe to request a replacement.
NOTE: The sensor may be extended up to 50m.
Step 6 - Fit Power Leads
Each wire is tted with a single power lead for connecting the
wire to the thermostat. To ensure the power lead remains at the
same level as the heating element, you may need to cut or chisel a
channel in the suboor. When doing this take care not to damage
the heating element. Secure the power lead in place using tape
but do not tape over the manufactured joint where the power
supply cable meets the heating element.
The power lead will go into the electrical trunking/conduit up to
the thermostat. It is possible to extend the power lead using twin
and earth cable.
NOTE: Instructions for tting the Rointe thermostat are included in
the thermostat box.
Step 7 - Tile & grout the oor
Ensure you use tile adhesives and grouts suitable for use with
oor heating systems (they must contain a exible additive). It is
important that each tile is solidly bedded in adhesive, with no air
gaps or voids beneath. DO NOT dot and dab the tiles. Check with the manufacturers of the adhesive to ensure
suitability. Use a plastic notched trowel to move the adhesive along the element. Use a piece of cardboard on
top of the exposed element to use as a crawl board. Ensure to test the resistance of the heating wire regularly
during tiling to check the wire hasn’t been damaged during tiling.
If using exible levelling compound before tiling make sure that the wire is completely at, extra tape can be
used to secure the edges of the bre glass mesh to the oor.
Do not store tiles or heavy objects on the wire while tiling. Wait for 8 days to allow the adhesive to dry before
you switch on the system.
FINALLY TEST THE RESISTANCE OF THE HEATING WIRE(S) ONCE TILING IS COMPLETE.

5. PREPARACIÓN DEL SUBSUELO
Subsuelos de madera:
• Asegurar una ventilación adecuada.
• El suelo existente debe estar estable y seguro, y si es necesario nivelado cn un compuesto de látex/
cemento autonivelante para quedar preaparado y ajustado para la aplicación posterior de la placa de
aislamiento.
Subsuelos de hormigón:
• Asegúrese de que se utiliza poliestileno extruido para construcción o placas de aislamiento al instalar el
sistema en una base de cemento.
• La jación de las placas debe ser realizada de acuerdo con las instruciones del fabricante.

6. PRUEBAS DEL SISTEMA
Uno de los pasos más importantes que se deben llevar a cabo a la hora de instalar el hilo radiante es el
proceso de prueba. Asegúrese siempre de que ha probado el hilo radiante ANTES, DURANTE y DESPUÉS de la
instalación utilizando un multímetro y un enchufe con conexión a tierra.
Procedimiento de pruebas
La resistencia (ohmios) de cada hilo radiante debe medirse entre fase y neutro. Se recomienda el uso de un
multímetro digital con un rango de 0 a 2kΩ para realizar las pruebas.
NOTA: debido a la elevada resistencia del elemento de calefacción, puede que no sea posible obtener una
lectura continua del hilo y, por lo tanto, no se recomiendan dispositivos de medición continua. Al comprobar
la resistencia, asegúrese de que sus manos no tocan las sondas del medidor, ya que si lo hace la medida
incluirá la resistencia interna de su cuerpo y, por lo tanto, hará que la medida no sea precisa. Anote las
lecturas de la resistencia y compare con la tabla de la página 16. Los valores medidos deben estar dentro del
±5% de los valores indicados en la tabla. Si en cualquier momento las lecturas no se encuentran dentro de las
directrices anteriores, o si sospecha que hay algún tipo de problema, llame a la línea de asistencia de Rointe.
Sensor de suelo
Asegúrese que el sensor de suelo sea probado antes de que el suelo nal sea colocado. Los valores del sensor
de suelo se pueden encontrar en el manual de instrucciones del termostato. Cuando este probando el sensor
de suelo asegúrese de que el medidor puede leer hasta 20kΩ. Los termostatos Rointe utilizan un sensor de
suelo de 10kΩ. La resistencia esperada es: 10kΩ a 25ºC, 12,1kΩ a 20°C, 14,7kΩ a 15ºC.
7. CONSEJOS DE SEGURIDAD ELÉCTRICA
Todas las conexiones eléctricas deben ser realizadas
por un electricista cualicado. Todo el trabajo debe
cumplir con las regulaciones eléctricas vigentes.
Instalación de un interruptor diferencial (ID)
El sistema debe estar conectado a través de un ID. Si en
el lugar de instalación no existe uno, debe instalar
un ID dedicado. No se pueden conectar más 7,5KW
de potencia a un mismo ID de 30mA. Para cargas
superiores se deben utilizar varios ID o un ID de
100mA.
Instalación de enlaces y cajas eléctricas
Para el termostato necesitará una caja de 35-40mm de
profundidad. Si está instalando dos o más sistemas,
ecesitará una caja de conexiones. El cable de alimentación que conecta el sistema al termostato debe ser
estar protegido con un conducto o tubo de plástico.

Conexión del termostato
El termostato debe ser conectado a la red de alimentación a través de un ID, de acuerdo con las normas
vigentes, por un electricista calicado. El termostato debe instalarse dentro de la habitación o área que
desea calefactar; sin embargo, en el caso de instalaciones en baños, se recomienda que el termostato se
coloque en el exterior de una pared interna del baño, lo más cerca posible del sistema de suelo radiante. Los
termostatos Rointe están diseñados para cargas hasta 16A. Para instalaciones que excedan 16A, se requieren
múltiples termostatos o un contactor. Para más consejos contacte con Rointe.
Una vez que se han realizado las conexiones eléctricas y el sistema ha sido probado, el electricista debe
completar la tarjeta de control ubicada en la parte posterior de este manual de instalación. Esta información
debe disponerse cerca de la unidad de consumo.
8. MODIFICACIÓN DEL HILO RADIANTE
NUNCA corte el elemento de calefacción.
Compruebe el tamaño del hilo
Tómese unos minutos para vericar que su plano dispone de las dimensiones correctas de la habitación
donde realizará la instalación. Los hilos radiantes no pueden ser colocados detrás o delante, entre paredes u
obstrucciones, como se muestra en los ejemplos.
NOTA: cuando use dos o más sistemas, asegúrese de colocar una caja de conexiones.
