Always Remember to Take the Following
Precautions During the Installation Process:
 Ensure that: the electric circuit that supplies electricity to the heating mats is equipped
with a type A ground fault current interrupter (GFCI).
 Ensure that: the total current needed for all the heating mats connected in parallel is not
more than 80% of the listed amperage capacity of the relevant electrical breaker. If you
need advice consult your installer / supplier.
 Ensure that: you have provided each room equipped with the heating mats with its own
electrical junction box and its own control thermostat. Each thermostat has a maximum
capacity of 16 Amps. If the amount of Amps in the room is greater than16 Amps, divide
the amperage over several thermostats, or add a dedicated contactor between the mats
and the thermostats as shown in the Wiring diagram.
 Ensure that: all cold wires leads of the heating mats should be connected in parallel into
an electrical junction box or boxes.
 Always: connect the grounding cable from the mat to the house grounding system.
 Follow the electricity safety regulation in your county.
 Ensure that: the thin set/cement/ glue / grout is completely dry before operating the
system. Drying period is generally 2-14 days depending on the cement / glue / grout
manufacturer's instructions.
