For installing
HEATWAVE® MATS,
continue with the installation
below beginning with section 5.2.
For installing
HEATWAVE® CABLES,
skip to Section 5.3 to continue
with the installation.
5.2 Heatwave® Mat Installation
5.2.1 Start by placing the mat such that the connection
point and the temperature sensor are in their intended
final positions and bring the power cable to the
thermostat or connection box. Ensure the connection
between the heating cable and cold lead will be
properly embedded in thinset and/or mortar. Begin
unrolling the Heatwave® Mat evenly across the floor
outside the areas that were marked previously. When
the next wall is reached, cut the mesh (being careful not
to cut the red heating cable), turn the mat, and begin
rolling in the desired direction. See Heatwave® Mat
Layout Configurations on Page 17.
5.2.2 Ensure that the Heatwave® is in full contact with
the subfloor at all times. Avoid walking on the heating
mat. If this is not possible, use shoes with very soft
rubber soles. When approaching obstacles (toilets,
cabinets, etc.), carefully remove some of the red heating
cable from the mat and lead the cable around the
obstacle. In some cases pieces of the mesh will be cut
away entirely. DO NOT CUT THE RED HEATING CABLE.
5.2.3 Use Heatizon Plastic Cable Clips, hot glue*, or a
thin strip of tape to secure the loose cable to the floor.
* Do not place hot glue gun tip directly on heating cable.
5.2.4 MEASURE THE RESISTANCE (TEST #2)
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. Please refer to
Section 7 (Commissioning) for instructions on how to measure the resistance.
