Installing the floor sensor
The floor sensor is used for temperature regulation of the floor
surface. The end of the probe wire contains a capped sensor that
should be centred between two heating cables at least 12” into the
heated area.
The sensor wire MUST NOT touch or cross over the heating cables.
Depending on the requirements of the tiler, it may be necessary to
chisel out short channels in the subfloor to minimize the increased
height presented by the floor probe. Before chiseling the area, ensure
that the heating cable, unheated lead and floor probe are protected
to avoid damage during chiseling. Place the floor probe into the
channels and secure with fixing tape. DO NOT tape over the floor
sensor tip.
NOTE: DO NOT run the cold lead wires and the floor sensor in the
same UL/cUL certified conduit.

IMPORTANT - Test the cable and floor sensor
Before installing the final floor finish ensure that the cable(s) and floor
sensor is working properly using the method described on the "How
to test the heater & floor sensor" page.
