Important: Mark the position of the connection point between the power
lead and the red Heatwave® heating cable. This connection must be
embedded in cementitious material. When using a floor temperature
sensing thermostat, mark the sensor position in the middle of two heating
cables, about 10 in. (25 cm) away from the wall (within the heated area), as
close as possible to the thermostat.
5.1.2 TRANSFER LAYOUT TO FLOOR
Draw an outline of the layout on the room floor including
a foot print of all furnishings that are not yet installed.
Unroll the first few feet of the Heatwave® Mat or Cable.
The starting point of the cable must be placed within 15
ft. of the thermostat.
5.1.3 INSTALL SENSOR
If using a floor temperature sensing thermostat,install
the sensor now, either in conduit tube, or directly to the
subfloor. The sensor and/or tube needs to be installed
between the thermostat wall box and the sensor position. The conduit tube must be partially
countersunk into the subfloor. Cut a channel in the floor to a location below the thermostat for
the sensor conduit. The conduit has to go from the wall below the thermostat and minimum of
10” away from the wall towards the middle of the floor for placement between two runs of cable.
5.1.4 PREPARE SUBFLOOR SURFACE
Clean and vacuum the floor thoroughly and remove dust and
debris from the floor that may damage the heating cable.
Ensure that the subfloor is secure and stable. Carefully fill in
all cracks to prevent any potential damage to the new tiles
resulting from shifts in the subfloor.
5.1.5 MEASURE THE RESISTANCE (TEST #1)
Use a digital Ohm meter to measure the resistance of the
Heatwave® Mat/Cable and compare it to the total Ohms
in the tables in Section 4.1 for Mats or in Section 4.2 for
Cables. Record the measured resistance on the Registration Form. Documenting the resistance at
each stage of installation is required for warranty purposes. Also, measure the resistance between
each conductor and the shielding/ground wire. Both should read infinity or open. Please refer to
Section 7 (Commissioning) for instructions on how to measure the resistance.
NEVER CUT OR SHORTEN THE RED HEATING CABLE!
DO NOT STAPLE THE RED HEATWAVE® HEATING CABLE. STAPLE ONLY
THE WEBBING ON HEATWAVE® MATS WHERE NO CABLE IS LOCATED!
NEVER PLACE RED CABLE WITHIN 6” OF A WAX TOILET RING.
