Making Electrical Provision for the Heater

Step 3: Laying Out Your Heating Mats (cont’d)

Note: All electrical

connections must be

performed by a fully

qualified and certified

electrician.

The floor sensor is used for temperature regulation of the floor

surface.

Positioning the floor sensor in-between element wires on the

heating mat. The sensor tip must not be placed directly under or

onto an element wire.

The “heater wires” within the foil are identified as raised parallel

lines.

The sensor wire should not cross over the heating wires.

This is to ensure that the average heating temperature is measured

and not the temperature of the heating element.

Run the sensor cable off the heater and back to the thermostat.

The sensor wire can NOT cross over the FOIL heater wires. If using

conduits to route the wires to the thermostat, Do NOT use the same

conduit for the lead wires and the sensor.

Step 4: Install the thermostat floor sensor

WARMUP FOIL MATS MUST NEVER BE CUT OR TRIMMED TO FIT INTO

A SPACE THAT IS TOO SMALL!

Smooth out the mat and adhere to the underlayment/insulation

with adhesive tape. Allow a minimum distance of 6” (laminate)

and 12“ (carpet) between the mat and the wall. After deciding

the route that your power supply cables will take from the

mat to the point of supply, cut a 6 mm wide channel in the

underlayment along this route and drop the power supply cables

into this channel. Similarly you have to cut a small section /

channel in underlayment or laminate depending on the position

of Thermostat sensor.

You may also need to remove a small section of underlayment

from under the mat at the point where the power supply cord

enters the mat, to prevent an unsightly lump on the Laminate or

carpet surface and excessive wear on that part of the mat.

When installing two or more Warmup Foil heating mats next to

each other make sure that the heating wires in adjacent mats

Do not overlap and we recommend the use of adhesive tape to

assure that they will not overlap over a period of time.

To avoid damage to your mats during installation, care must be

taken so that tools with sharp edges or points are not dropped or

6” or 10” inches
