10. RESISTANCE TEST (after installation)

1. Cover floor and heatmat with thinset mortar or self-leveling

concrete compound in accordance with manufacturer’s

instructions.

2. Keep foot traffic & general construction to a minimum until tile

flooring is installed.

3. Install new flooring using caution: don’t drop flooring material,

trowel, or scrape floor.

4. Ensure other personell are aware of the in floor heating system.

(mark wall at conduit location “no nails”, make sure plumbers don’t

need to drill any holes etc)

1. Using a digital OHM meter, measure the resistance between the

power leads. (insulated wires) This reading should be within 10%

of the OHM reading on the cable tag.

2. Using the digital OHM meter, measure the resistance between the

Ground (un-insulated) cable and each of the power (insulated)

leads. This should have no reading or .OL (open load). If

you have an OHM reading at this point STOP AND DO NOT

CONTINUE WITH INSTALLATION.

3. Measure OHM reading for thermostat floor sensor & ensure this

reading is within the guidelines stated on the floor sensor cable tag.

4. Record these readings along with heatmat serial number, date

and factory readings on the warranty card included with the

installation manual. Submit completed warranty form to ICO

for warranty registration.
