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.

    Hi everyone,


    Sorry for the delay - been waiting for a miserable day (hard to believe in Scotland!) and also waiting on a digital thermometer to be delivered.

    Anyway - hooked up one set of windows today directly to test - R2-R15-R16 (no sensors just switch on/off)


    Initial temps : 14C - 18C - 17C

    Temps after 30 mins 25C - 28C - 27C


    The temp of glass outside for R2 was 7.5C - this remained between 7 & 7.5C which was a good indication.

    In comparison, the other hall window which was not connected stayed at approx 13.5C and walking between the 2 was quite noticeable.


    I've also found a small note in electricians stuff which say safe operating temp not to exceed 40C

     


    Hi Tutty, I am glad to hear that it seems all is not lost! I can’t comment on whether or not the heated windows were a good idea or not in the first place but understand that it must have been quite costly for you and I hate things going to waste :( .


    Had you been a bit nearer I would have walked round and had a look from the mandatory 2 meters for you but I am not a Proclaimer! :)
