EasyMat Install Instructions

1. Mark Thermostat and conduit location.

2. Install Thermostat box and conduit (by approved electrician).

3. Clean floor surface.

4. Mark heating mat location on the sub-floor in accordance with the plan. Ensure heating cable does not extend beyond the room or the area for which it was designed.

5. Test No.1: Test the heating mats, before rolling them out, with an ohmmeter (the results should be +/- 10% of tag value). If the resistance is above or below 10% please call us. The calculation for the expected resistant is voltage squared divided by the wattage of the mat.

6. Place EasyMat at the marked area and roll out in accordance to the plan. Make sure to keep a 3" distance from wall as shown in the picture.

7. Cut the blinding tape (never the cable!) with scissors. Always cut away from the wire (for alternative cutting option see at the end of the installation instructions).

8. After cutting EasyMat tape strips, turn around the heating roll to allow unrolling in the new direction. The straightened loop of wire will naturally set the distance between the old and new run of mat.

9. Pull the cold lead through the conduit to the thermostat box. Pull the sensor cable from the floor to the thermostat box through a seperate tube. The sensor is low voltage and does not go in the same tube as the power leads. (All connections should be performed by an approved electician) Place the sensor between the mat cables without allowing the sensor to contact the heating wire.

10. Remove the middle strip first and then the side strips. When taping the wire tighten the slack in both directions to make the wire tight to the floor. Ensure all the adhesive tapes are well glued.

11. Test No.2: Test according to step 5.

12. The floor is now ready for tiling. If there is to be a cover layer make sure it is a minimum 1/4 inch thick.

13. A quarified electician should carry out this step.
- Test No.3: Test according to step 5.
- Install Thermostat in according to the manufacture instruction and IEE regulation.
- Carry out the GFCI test.
- Ensure Mat load (Amp) does not exceed the thermostat switching rating (16Amp).
- Label the panel circuit in accordance with the local code.

14. Switch on breaker and thermostat and follow thermostat instruction for programming. Ensure mortar / screed / levelling compound is cured in accordance with the manufacturer's specification prior to energizing the mats.
