Setup and Installation
Power Calculation
To determine the electric power (Wattage) of your heating cable setup, use the following formula:
Power (W) = (Voltage (V) * Voltage (V)) / Resistance (Ohm)
For 12K carbon fiber cable, the resistance is approximately 33 Ohm/meter.
Example 1: Using 10 meters of 12K carbon fiber cable on a 220V supply:
220V * 220V / (10 meters * 33 Ohm/meter) = 150W
Example 2: Using 15 meters of 12K carbon fiber cable on a 220V supply:
220V * 220V / (15 meters * 33 Ohm/meter) = 100W
Important Note: A longer cable length will result in lower overall power output and consequently a lower heating temperature for the entire length.
Floor Heating Installation Guidelines
Due to the inherent characteristics of carbon fiber heating cable, it is not recommended to use a single, very long continuous length for floor heating applications. This can lead to uneven heating and potential issues.
Recommendation: For optimal floor heating, we suggest dividing the cable into sections of approximately 10 meters each. Connect all these 10-meter sections in parallel to your power source. This method ensures more consistent heating and easier management.
Maintain a consistent distance of 8 to 12 cm between parallel cable runs to achieve uniform heat distribution across the floor surface.

Operating Instructions
If your product includes the M3H-GB-H thermostat, please refer to the separate instruction manual provided with the thermostat for detailed operating procedures, programming, and advanced features. This section provides general guidance.
- Power On/Off: Use the designated power button or switch on your thermostat to turn the heating system on or off.
- Temperature Setting: Adjust the desired room or floor temperature using the thermostat controls.
- Programming: Utilize the thermostat's programming features to set schedules for heating operation, optimizing energy consumption.
- Monitoring: Periodically check the thermostat display to ensure the system is operating as expected.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your heating cable system.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect visible parts of the system for any signs of damage, wear, or loose connections.
- Keep Clear: Ensure that the area above the heated floor is not permanently covered by items that could trap heat, such as thick rugs or furniture without adequate clearance, as this can lead to localized overheating.
- Cleaning: If the thermostat or any exposed components require cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Professional Check: Consider having the system professionally inspected every few years to ensure continued safe and efficient operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What does "12K" mean? What is the difference between 12K and 24K?
A1: The "K" in 12K stands for thousand. Therefore, 12K signifies that the heating conductor within the carbon fiber cable is composed of 12,000 individual carbon fiber strands. This configuration results in a resistance of approximately 33 Ohm/meter. In contrast, a 24K cable's conductor is made up of 24,000 carbon fiber strands, which typically gives it a lower resistance of around 17 Ohm/meter.
Q2: What is the difference between a rubber sheath and a Teflon sheath?
A2: Information regarding the specific differences between rubber and Teflon sheaths for this product is not detailed in this manual. Generally, different sheath materials offer varying levels of flexibility, temperature resistance, and chemical resistance. Please consult product specifications or manufacturer for more details if this information is critical for your application.
General Troubleshooting Tips
- No Heat Output: Check if the power supply to the thermostat and heating cable is active. Verify that the thermostat is set to a heating mode and the desired temperature is above the ambient temperature. Inspect all connections for looseness or damage.
- Uneven Heating: Ensure the cable spacing during installation was consistent (8-12 cm). If the issue persists, it might indicate an installation error or a fault in a specific cable section.
- Thermostat Malfunction: If the thermostat display is blank or unresponsive, check its power supply. Refer to the thermostat's specific manual for troubleshooting steps.
- Electrical Issues: If you suspect an electrical fault (e.g., tripping circuit breakers), immediately disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to repair electrical components yourself.
