Step 4. Install the Thermostat Sensor
As the mats are installed, locate the thermostat
sensor probe. Sensor probe can be held in position
with a small amount of tape. The sensor should
extend approximately 6” to 12” from wall adjacent
to the mat shown. Be careful not to locate the sensor
near other heating sources such as a heating duct
below the floor.
NOTE:
The thermostat sensor is thicker than the heating mat. If thinsetting over backer
board or slab, saw a groove to recess the sensor to the level of the mat. Use
duct tape to secure the sensor in the groove. Do not damage the sensor. Ensure
the sensor is set down so it is level with the mat and not on top of the mat.

Step 5. Connect the Electrical Leads
Now, depending upon your wire lead installation, route
the lead wires from each of the individual mat along
the base of the wall and up to the junction box.
Depending on the thickness of the mortar bed, you
may also need to chisel a space under the point where
the wires connect with the mat in order to recess the
connection. Be extremely careful not to damage the
heating mat or connection.
