7. Commissioning
7.1 INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST
This test ensures that the insulating jackets of the heating
cable are not damaged. A low value indicates the cable
has been damaged and must be replaced.
A. Set the multimeter to 2000K ohm.
B. Connect* the ground wire to the black lead and both
white conductors to the red lead of the multimeter.
C. Make sure the meter indicates, “Open,” “OL” or
infinity. If there is a different reading, contact
Heatizon at 888-239-1232.
D. Record these readings on the Registration Form.
7.2 HEATING CABLE RESISTANCE TEST
This test measures the resistance of the Heatwave® Mat
or Cable, and is used to determine circuit integrity.
A. Set the multimeter to the 200 or 2000 ohm range.
B. Connect* the multimeter leads, one to each white
conductor on the cold lead.
C. Compare this resistance reading to the resistance
specified in the tables in Section 4.1 or 4.2. The value
should be within ±10%. If there is a different reading
than expected, contact Heatizon at 888-239-1232.
D. Record these readings on the Registration Form.
7.3 SENSOR RESISTANCE TEST
This test measures the resistance of the floor sensor and is
used to verify the sensor integrity.
A. Set the multimeter to the 200K ohm range.
B. Connect* the multimeter leads to
each sensor lead wire.
C. Make sure the meter reads between 9-25K ohms.
If there is a different reading, contact
Heatizon at 888-239-1232.
* Be sure when connecting the multimeter to the leads, do not touch the
connection with bare hands or that two connections do not touch.
Important: For the Limited Lifetime Warranty to apply, these tests
MUST be performed, record the results on the Registration Form, and
retain a copy of the record. These tests MUST be performed: Insulation
Resistance Test, the Heating Cable Resistance Test, and the Sensor Resistance Test
four times (please refer to Installation Instructions) during the installation process.
Refer to tables on page 12
(Mats) or page 14 (Cables)
for ohm values
BE SURE TO NOT TOUCH THE
WIRES WITH YOUR BARE HANDS
WHILE DOING THIS TEST
