Installation Manual - Warmup

Installation (using Reinforcement Bars - continued)2. Position cables to avoid water pipes, baths and permanent fixtures that will beinstalled on the finished floor with nails or similar fixings. Perimeter cables shouldbe run with 4” minimum distance from walls and permanent fixtures.3. Sketch the location of: cables, remote sensor conduit, cold tail joint to heatingcable and the junction box with neutral and live connections. Provide an installationcopy for any future modifications/ renovations etc.4. The single cold tail screen goes to ground. Being a dual core cable, the cold tailalso has twin cores for the neutral and live connections.5. Install a half inch conduit from the location of the thermostat box down the wallto the edge of where the floor is to be heated. This conduit will house the coldtail lead. The joint or splice to the heater wire must be visible and away from thebottom of the conduit. If using multiple cables, route all the power from the heatedpart of the floor up through the conduit and into the thermostat box. It is advisableto use a conduit for each cold tail to be taken to the wall location of the thermostatbox. A separate conduit is to be used to run the sensor wire to the main section ofthe floor.6. The conduit housing the sensor wire is to be curved up between the heatingcables with the opening above the intended surface level of the concrete slab, withthe end capped to prevent debris falling into the conduit.7. Check the continuity, resistance and insulation resistance value during and afterlaying the heater wires. Check if these values are consistent with pre-install values.Record the values for the online warranty registration.8. Once the cable has been installed, the sensor wire conduit positioned and thefinal resistances and continuity checked, the concrete floor can then be poured.Care must be taken not to damage the heater wires when the concrete is pouredwith operatives walking on the re-bars.9. Ensure the entire heating cable, joints or factory splices and thermostat conduitsensor is embedded in the concrete mortar. The choice and application ofbuilding material should be in accordance with building materials manufacturer’sinstructions.7
