Katherm NK - Natural Convection 1.45
Intended Use
1. Intended Use
Kampmann Katherm NK are built in line with the state of the art and
recognised safety regulations. Nevertheless their use may result in danger
to people or damage to the unit or other material property if they are not
properly installed or properly used.
Katherm NK should only be used indoors (e.g. living space, offices,

showrooms etc.) They are not suitable for use in humid environments, such
as swimming pools or outdoors. The products should be protected from any
moisture during installation. Check the application with the manufacturer
in case of any doubt. Any use other than the use specified above is deemed
not to be correct and proper. The operator of the unit is solely responsible
for any damage resulting from such use. Correct and proper use is deemed
to include observing the installation information described in these
instructions.
The installation of this product requires specialist knowledge of heating,

cooling, ventilation and electrical engineering. This knowledge, generally
learned in vocational training in the fields mentioned in section 2, is not
described separately. Errors with the connection or modifications may lead
to the unit being damaged! The manufacturer shall not be liable for any
damage caused by an incorrect connection and/or improper handling.

Safety Information
2. Safety Information
Installation, assembly and maintenance work on electrical units
should only be performed by a qualified electrician in compliance
with the VDE guidelines. Wiring should comply with the applicable
VDE regulations and provisions laid down by the regional electricity
providers. Non-compliance with the regulations and operating
instructions may result in the units malfunctioning with consequential
damage and danger to people. The units may be incorrectly wired by
the wires being swapped – danger of fatal injury! Disconnect all parts
of the system from the mains power supply and prevent them from
being reconnected before starting any connection and maintenance
work! The unit should only be connected to fixed cabling.
Please read these instructions in full to guarantee a correct installation.
Please note the following safety-relevant information:
• Disconnect all parts of the system that are being worked on.
• Ensure that the system cannot be accidentally re-connected!
• Caution! Pipes, casings and fittings may become very hot depending
on the operating mode!
• Qualified personnel must have undergone training to provide them
with adequate knowledge of the following:
• Safety and accident prevention regulations
• Guidelines and recognised technical regulations, i.e. VDE
(Association of German Electricians) regulations
• DIN and EN standards
• Accident prevention regulations VBG, VBG4, VBG9a
• DIN VDE 0100, DIN VDE 0105
• EN 60730 (Part 1)
• Technical wiring regulations issued by the regional electricity
providers
Modifications to the unit

Do not undertake any modifications, refurbishments or upgrades on
the Katherm NK unit without discussing these with the manufacturer
as these may impair the safety and operation of the unit. Do not carry
out any action on the unit that is not described in these instructions.
On-site systems and cabling must be suitable for connection to the
intended system!
The floor duct has openings provided for the installation

of a potential compensation line.

Screed Work
6. Screed Work
Check the following before starting the screed work:
l The water is connected properly,
l The electricity is connected properly,
l The floor duct is the correct height and distance from the window,
l The grille is covered (Caution! Cement destroys the surface of the
grille!),
l The sound insulation (not with raised floors) is installed beneath
the floor duct,

l There are no sound bridges to the bare concrete, particularly
around the height-adjustment feet.

l All openings and cut-outs in the floor duct heating are sealed from
Separately packaged roll-up grilles, e.g.
when using installation covers to protect
the screed using appropriate material.
l The duct openings and cut-outs should be additionally sealed
from dirt, are pre-rolled in the factory.
If the steel spiral springs are stretched, when using floating screed or other viscous floor coverings.
this may result in the grille appearing
over-long. Unroll and lay out the grille
for a few hours to return it to its original Caution: The floor duct must not be pressed together by the screed or
length. The frame is easier to fit if the floor. Provide expansion joints if needed.

Adjusting the slider positions
The supply air model, like all standard Katherm units, is

adjusted in height via the adjustment screws and fixed
to the floor via the adjustment feet. To set the desired
flow rate at the supply air module, you can move the
slider in various positions. The illustration on the left
shows 4 different slider positions (100%, 75%, 50% and
30% open). They are also shown in the design diagrams
below, where you can read off the desired pressure

losses, sound levels and air flow rates. Intermediate
values can be interpolated.

Maintenance
11. Maintenance
Information
Maintenance on Katherm NK floor ducts should only be carried out
by qualified personnel trained in compliance with the installation
and operating instructions as well as any regulations currently in
force. Regular maintenance and inspections are required in order
to permanently guarantee the function and performance of the
Katherm NK.
Heat exchanger
l Inspect the integral heat exchanger every six months for dirt and
possible damage. A visual inspection is sufficient here.

l Carefully vacuum the heat exchanger if dirty.
Valves
l Inspect the valves as well every 12 months and check the leak-
tightness (visual inspection)!

The number of connecting wires required with cable diameters (e.g 3 x 1.5) incl. fuses is given on the individual control units.
Note: Always place 194000 in front of the respective type number. e.g. 146904 → 194000146904
Sample controls
An option for electric controls is the combination of a room thermostat
and the corresponding number of actuators and valves. The required
room temperature is set on the room thermostat. If the room
temperature falls below this set value, the thermoelectric actuator
opens the water-side valve.
