NOTE: Before installing the
floor finish its suitability for
use with underfloor heating
and its maximum operating
temperature should be checked
against required operating
conditions.
• If you are planning to install
wood, carpet or vinyl over
the heater a single layer of
self levelling compound
is required (minimum
thickness: ” above the
membrane) over the heater.
You must ensure that all
heating cables are completely
covered. It is important that
the levelling compound is
suitable for use with the DCM-
PRO system.
• When the tiles or levelling
compound has been installed,
conduct another resistance
test to ensure the sensor
and heater have not been
damaged and record in the
control card.
• Perimeter strips should be cut
flush with the tiles or levelling
compound using a utility knife.
