Step 6. INSTALL FLOOR COVERING
Measure the resistance in the mat and record it on the
warranty certificate. It is highly recommend to take
photographs of the installed LX mat before installing
the flooring.
ENSURE THAT THE SENSOR CONDUIT HAS BEEN
PROPERLY INSTALLED BEFORE PROCEEDING (see Step 3).
In the case of tiles, proceed with the installation of the tiles
by covering the heating cables with a layer of thin-set
cement as directed by the tile manufacturer. Ensure that the
thin-set mortar covers the entire height of the heating
cable as the tiles are installed. In the case of a wood,
engineered or laminate floor covering, it is recommended
that the flooring manufacturer be contacted. For wooden
floors, a minimum of 3/16 in. of self-leveling cement over
the heating cable is recommended. Ensure that all
moisture in the self-leveling cement has been fully
eliminated in accordance with the drying times
recommended by the manufacturer (consult the
manufacturer for exact drying time).
Once the thin-set cement has dried, measure the
resistance in the mat and record it on the warranty
certificate. The LX mat must not be turned on until the thin-
set cement has fully dried. A minimum of seven (7) days is
recommended.

Step 7. CONNECT POWER SUPPLY AND
THERMOSTAT
(See Appendix A)
The connection of the power supply and the LXstat GFCI
thermostat must be done by a qualified electrician in
accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and
the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC). The electrician
should also feed the sensor cable into the installed conduit
and connect it to the thermostat.
