General Installation Guidelines
4
Make a sketch layout or a floor plan of the room;
include all permanent furnishings such as toilets,
bathtubs, appliances, cabinetry, etc. Indicate all
dimensions required to determine the available floor
area and the position of the LX thermostat.
TIP: Danfoss recommends installation is documented
with photos to note the location of connections and
the sensor.
Step 1. PLAN LAYOUT
Draw an outline of the layout on the room floor including
a foot print of all furnishings that are not yet
installed. Unroll the first few feet of the LX mat. The
starting point of the cable must be placed within 10 ft.
from the thermostat. Mark the position of the connection
point between the power lead and the red LX heating
cable. This connection must be concealed in thinset or
self-leveling cement. When using a floor temperature
sensing thermostat, mark the sensor position in the
middle of 2 heating cables, about 10 in. (25cm) away from
the wall (within the heated area), as close as possible to
the thermostat.
Step 2. TRANSFER LAYOUT TO FLOOR
(recommended in conduit, part#19809099 included)
If using a floor temperature sensing thermostat, install
the sensor now, either in conduit tube, or directly to
the subfloor. It is recommended that the sensor be
installed in conduit tube. This will allow the sensor
to be easily replaced in the unlikely event of failure.
The sensor and/or tube needs to be installed between
the thermostat wall box and the sensor position.
The conduit tube must be partially countersunk into the
subfloor. Cut a channel 5/16” deep by 5/16” wide in the
floor and wall up to the thermostat large enough to
accommodate the sensor conduit. The conduit has to go
from the thermostat and minimum of 10 “ away from the
wall towards the middle of the floor.
