Additional notes on assembly restrictions:

  • In radio technology, it is important to note that a range of radio signals through walls, roofs and furnishings is reduced. This means that the range of the radio signal is reduced and reception might be impaired.

  • Operate the Floor Heating Controller and the radio components only in the indoor areas. Avoid the influence of moisture and dust.

  • Avoid contact of the Floor Heating Controller and radio components with gas, vapors, solvents, and permanent direct sunlight.

  • There are ventilation slots inside the Floor Heating Controller main unit to dissipate heat. Make sure that these are not covered.

  • Radio components may not be used in connection with devices that directly or indirectly pose a health or safety hazard. Especially pacemakers, hearing aids and defibrillators can be disturbed by radio signals of the floor heating controller communication. If such devices are used, avoid the immediate vicinity of the operational Floor Heating Controller unit.
