Testing
SECTION 6
6.1 Testing the Cable
IMPORTANT: Do NOT supply the system with electric current to test.
All testing should be done with a digital ohmmeter. Supplying the system with a 120V or 240V electric current
before the installation is complete is not needed to test the system.
6.2 Take the Ohm Readings
The electrical resistance of the WarmlyYours TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable must be checked before you
start and monitored throughout the installation process to ensure there has been no damage causing shorts
or breaks.
We recommend at least three readings be taken:
1. Before starting installation
2. After securing the cable in place on the subfloor
3. After installing the flooring surface on top of the cable
Use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance.
6.3 Record the Ohm Readings
The value on the UL label should be within -5/+10% variance at 20ºC (68ºF) of the original measurement
indicated on the label. The electrician should carefully mark the initial ohm reading taken onto the warranty
card in section 10. Should the initial ohm reading be outside the -5/+10% variance, refer to section 8,
Troubleshooting, or call WarmlyYours Technical Support at [phone].
The specified resistance value and other important information can be found on the WarmlyYours
TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable product label. Figure 8 depicts a sample product label. The information
provided in the figure is for illustration purposes only. Refer to label included with the cable for actual values.
