Installation steps (2) Cutting, turning and fixing the heating mat 4 When you have precisely planned where the mat should be laid, start cutting and turning the mat where marks have been made, beginning at the location closest to the thermostat. Never allow strips of mesh to overlap. If you remove the wire from the mesh for a custom layout, maintain a minimum 2” (50mm) to a maximum 4” (100mm) spacing between the heating cable. Be careful and NEVER cut the heating cable. Once you have laid out the mat according to the plan, adhere the CAPFM with the double sided tape on the mat. Use tape to affix the loose wires. Once the mat is fitted, check to ensure there are no loose sections paying close attention to the ends of the mats and any section which has been turned. When installing the mat, certain distance limits must be respected: • No closer than 1” (25mm) from the base of fixed furniture, steps leading to a bath, baths or showers. • No closer than 2” (50mm) from a wall • No closer than 6” (150mm) from a toilet, wax ring or drain • No closer than 8” (200mm) from a heating appliance attached to or in contact with the floor 5 Testing the system after installation Perform the same test as in step 2 10
Installation steps (3) Installing the floor sensor 6 Place the floor sensor (from the thermostat) below the fibreglass mesh between two heating elements. The floor sensor must be installed centrally between the two runs of heating element and should extend a minimum 12” (300mm) into the heated area. Secure the floor sensor using tape. Min 12” (300mm) NOTE: Test the probe wire: the temperature sensor must be verified before and after installation. For probe resistance, refer to the thermostat instructions. The floor heating thermostat should be installed by a certified electrician. Fitting Power Leads 7 Each CAPFM is fitted with a single power lead for connecting to the thermostat. To ensure the power lead remains at the same level as the heating element, you need to cut or chisel a channel in the subfloor. When doing this take care not to damage the heating element. Secure the power lead in place using tape. Fish the cold tail lead and sensor probe lead through the conduit and in to the expanded electrical box that will house the thermostat. Electrical connection to the thermostat must be conducted by a qualified electrician and in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 in Canada or the National Electrical Code in the USA, especially Article 424, Part V of the NEC ANSIINFPA 70. 11
