IMPORTANT: the sensor conduit must be centered in
the cable loop (between two red heating wires).
Seal the end of the conduit that is placed in the floor with a
piece of duct tape. This will prevent thinset from penetrating
the conduit.
Use duct tape to hold the sensor conduit into the groove to
prevent it from floating up when the mortar or thinset is
poured.
If the sensor is installed directly in the mortar bed, use duct
tape to secure to subfloor.
Clean and vacuum the floor thoroughly and remove dust
and debris from the floor that may damage the heating
cable or reduce adhesion.
Ensure that the subfloor is secure and stable. Carefully fill
in all cracks to prevent any potential damage to the new
tiles resulting from shifts in the subfloor.
(Optional) To ensure maximum adhesion, apply a primer
or sealer as recommended by the thinset or self-leveling
cement manufacturer. If using a primer, ensure that the
entire floor is covered. Allow the primer to dry thoroughly
before proceeding to the next steps.
Step 4. PREPARE SUBFLOOR SURFACE
Use a digital ohm meter to measure the resistance of
the Danfoss LX mat and compare it to the resistance listed
on the product label. The resistance should be measured
between the two conductors, blue and black. Compare
the measured resistance to the resistance on the product
label, located 3 inches from the splice, on the cold lead.
Also, measure the resistance between the blue, black and
shielding/ground wire. Both should read infinity.
Record the measured resistance on the warranty
card. Documenting the resistance at each stage of
installation is required for warranty purposes.
