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.
