Help with installation / diagram

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Hi,


I am after some help with a heated windows installation / diagram - grateful for any input.

Unfortunately, the company supplying the installion went bust and I have been left with a system that doesn't  work (incorrectly designed).

We had a local electrician do the first fix wiring based on the diagrams but he says what has been sent won't work in it's current state and he doesn't have the relevant expertise to adjust it.

We live in a rural area and electricians are not that common especially for something as complex as this.

Rather than post up the diagrams and go into too much detail initially, I just wanted to know if this is a place to ask for advice and if not could anyone point me in the right direction. e.g contact details for an electrical engineer.


Thanks.

    I've just measured resistance on the windows in the master bedroom and bedroom 1 and all are within 5% of the stated Ohms in the list.

    With regards to the sensors - they originally sent NTC15 sensors (these gave false readings - same sensors used in UFH) to be embedded in the frame (3 windows) but subsequently said they were incorrect and I needed PT100 sensors which supposedly just sit on the glass (they never sent any). They did say that the consumer unit came pre-configured and had been 'updated', but evidently the electrical diagrams had not been changed to accomodate this.

    Originally it was supposed to be similar to UFH with thermostats but this again seems to be another lie.

    It seems the firm involved have been in breach of copyright with regards to the original iqglass who are based in the netherlands. I have spoken to them and their panels are all 240v rated and each pane acts as an individual heater. They said it was not the first time this has happened unfortunately. They offered me a discounted rate if I wanted to replace any but the problem being that the wire installed to the existing windows (2 core) would not be suitable for a straight swop and lack of funds :-(
