Installation & Owner’s Guide 9
Step 4. Install Thermostat Sensor
Cut an area of underlayment to push the sensor down so it is completely level with the mat. Tape the
floor sensor to the underlayment in an area at least 1 inches (2.5 cm) from any heated (black stripe) of the
heating mat. Do not allow sensor to contact mat.
Step 5. Prepare Mats
If installing cut-to-length mats, you first need to prepare them for use, as follows:
1. Using the diagram you made earlier, cut the heating element to length using scissors.
2. Do not cut the end with wired connections; only cut the opposite end (without wiring).
3. Insulate the cut ends with Kapton Disks.
Step 5a. Radiant Heat Mats
Since the boxed kit for the 2-in-1 mat is designed to create 2 mats, both ends of the kit length have factory
installed lead wires. The end result is it will create 2 mats out of 1 boxed length. The mat MUST be cut into 2
desired lengths in order to operate correctly. Similar as in step 5 you will need to properly prepare the 2-in1
as follows:
1. Using the diagram you made earlier, cut the heating element into 2 desired to lengths using a scissors.
Ensure not to cut into black stripe and stay only on the dotted line when cutting to lengths.
2. Insulate the 2 created mat cut ends with the supplied Kapton Disks on the exposed bus bars.
There will be 4 bus bars to cover after the cut.
Sensor is thicker than the heating mat. If
necessary, saw a groove in the underlayment
between the mats, to recess the sensor to
the level of the mat. Use duct tape to secure
the sensor in the groove. Do not damage the
sensor. Ensure the sensor is set down so it is
level with the mat and not on top of the mat.
NOTE:
Cut only through the clear
area between the heating
stripes. NEVER cut closer
than ¼ inch (6 mm) to the
heating stripes and DO
NOT cut into the heating
stripes themselves.
