Note: Please be aware of the following:
▪
The floor temperature is measured where the floor
sensor is placed.
▪
The temperature of the bottom of a wooden floor can
be up to 10 degrees higher than the top.
▪
Floor manufactures often specify the max temperature
on the top surface of the floor (usually 27-28˚C).
▪
Always use a floor sensor to control floor heating.
Without a floor sensor, the temperature control may
be less accurate and you risk overheating the floor.
