• Never cover any heated portion of a ceiling with decorative

beams, track lighting, trim or other objects. This may trap heat

and create a potential for overheating.

• If new walls or partitions are added in contact with heated

portions of a ceiling, the heating panels which are covered must

be disconnected from power to avoid a potential for

overheating. Note that additional heating panels may have to

be installed to compensate for the disconnected panels.

• Do not add additional facing materials (such as gypsum board,

sheet rock or acoustic tile) to heated ceilings. This may trap heat

and create a potential for overheating.

WARM FLOORS SYSTEM

• Never pierce the floor.

Hitting the electrically conductive portions of a heating panel

can result in a potentially dangerous electric shock.

Piercing the elements will damage them and may present a fire

hazard.

• If a portion of the floor surface must be replaced, inspect any

exposed heating panel sets for damage that may have occurred

while removing the flooring. See the installation manual

(Part 4 — Inspection / Testing / Completion) for complete

instructions on inspecting the panels.

• Never cover any heated portion of a floor with walls or other

permanent structures. This may trap heat and create a potential

for overheating.

• If new walls or partitions are added over heated portions of a

floor, the heating panels under the walls or partitions must be

disconnected from power to avoid a potential for overheating

• Carpeting and other flooring with a maximum thermal

resistance of R-4 may be added on top of warmed floors.

INFORMATION FOR REPAIR/REMODELING TECHNICIANS

This information must be read and understood by all repair and

remodeling technicians who will be working on the house structure

in the area of an installed RCH system or main electrical systems.

Failure to follow these guidelines may result in risk of electric shock

or fire hazard.

Never cut into a heated

ceiling to install recessed

lighting or similar devices.

When installing any other

materials on or near a

heated ceiling or floor, ensure that no

heating elements are punctured by

nails, screws, etc.

Note

Before performing any remodeling work near a heated ceiling or floor, carefully read the

appropriate installation manual’s sections: Part 1 — Design Criteria, Part 2 — Job Site
