    I would also add that the switch makes the connection (would agree bimetalic switch) to P & N but the load, your floor element maybe off terminals 5&6. Who knows what goes on behind? J

    Indeed, the square labelled U must be the relay that controls the huge current that an underfloor eletric system uses. And yes, the B or 8 in the box must be the bimetallic bit that changes the switching according to the surrounding temp. So...
