Installation (using Reinforcement Bars - continued)10. Once the concrete has been poured, it is imperative to check that the resistanceand continuity values are consistent with the values taken BEFORE and DURING theinstallation. If these values are not consistent, damage to the heater wires mayhave occurred and a Warmup technician must be called on 1-888-927-6333 inthe US or 1-888-5-WARMUP in Canada.12. Ensure the correct maturity and curing times for drying of construction materialsis followed before you begin powering ON the heating cables.13. Once the concrete has dried completely cut the conduit that is raised above thesurface to the level of the concrete.14. Feed the sensor wire from the thermostat box so that the tip of the sensor is juston top of the surface of the new concrete.15. Once the sensor is in place, cement the tip with fresh mortar ensuring that itremains visible at the surface.16. Care must be taken not to damage the tip prior to installing the floor finish.17. Warmup recommends up to 8 weeks of curing time before powering up thecables. However, check with your concrete contractor and/or manufacturer forexact curing times. Please note that outside temperatures may affect the curingtime.18. Connection of the cold tail leads, sensor wire and mains supply must beconducted by a qualified electrician in accordance with the thermostat’s instructionmanual.Finished Floor Surface CoveringAny surface finish (tile, laminate, wood, carpet, cork, vinyl etc.) can be applied overthe finished concrete slab. However, care must be taken at all times that screws ornails used to attach floor coverings do not damage the heating cables. For woodenfloors it is recommended that these be free floating floors and that the slab surfacetemperature does not exceed the allowable temperature stated by the woodflooring manufacturer.8
Connect Thermostat and TestingInstructions for fitting the Warmup® Thermostatcan be found inside the thermostat box.DThe thermostat’s sensor probe can be installed anumber of ways:1. Placed directly in the top ³/₈” (10mm) of the slabcovering the heating wire.2. Cemented into a channel cut out of the surfaceof the slab.3. Placed in a flexible conduit in the top ³/₈” (10mm)of slab.The heating cables should be tested and readingsrecorded, to ensure the resistance is correct forthe cable supplied (plus or minus 5%). Visualinspection of the cable should also be carriedout to ensure there is no physical damage. Thetesting should be carried out before the cable islaid and after cable has been installed to ensure nodamage has occurred during installation. If thesereadings are incorrect, please call our helpline on1-888-927-6333 for the US and Canada.DO NOT CONCRETE if the heater is notworking.EThe heating cables should be tested and record readings again afterlaying concrete. The heating can be turned on after 28 days, after the slabhas had time to dry completely.IMPORTANTThe heating cable must be kept a minimum of 2” (50mm) apart at all times.The heating cable must not be cut, damaged or shortened.The entire heating cable and joint must be laid under the floor slab.Installation of the heating wire on to a new concrete floor should NOT be carried out forapproximately 30 days to allow the concrete to dry.If these instructions are followed, you should have no problems. However, if yourequire assistance at any stage, please call our helpline on 1-888-927-6333 (US) or1-888-592-7687 (Canada).9
