The Electric Switch cannot be used to control Electric Underfloor heating. Attempting to use an Electric Switch to control electric underfloor heating may damage the Electric Switch, the Electric Underfloor Heating underfloor heating or the floor itself. |
If the electric heating is also being controlled with a Room Sensor or Thermsotat, any controls on the heater should be set to constant and the highest temperature to ensure that there are no conflicts between the control provided by the Genius system and the built in controls. If the electric heating is only being controlled by an Electric Switch or Smart Plug, then disable any timer functions on the heater, but leave any temperature limits enabled.
Wired in Electric Heating
...
Many Electric Heaters are wired into a Fused Switch Spur, for electrical safety. These can be controlled by the Genius system by fitting the Electric Switch between the wiring of Switched Fused Spur and the Electric Heater.
- Always ensure that the electric heater and wiring for the Electric Switch is electrically isolated before you commence work on any wiring.
- Break out the relevant section of a 1-gang pattress for the wiring and fix the pattress to the wall. It is recommended that a 40mm pattress is used.
- Pull through the relevant wiring, allowing plenty of spare.
- Wire in the Electric Switch as per the wiring diagrams provided, checking this is suitable as per the electric heating installation manual.
- Fit the Electric Switch into the pattress, ensuring there are no trapped wires. Screw in using standard pattress screws, and check the unit is securely and safely attached to the wall.
In normal operation there will be no lights when the unit is off and one or more red lights near the button when heating.
