Installation Instructions

5

Step 5

Perform the following tests: Insulation resistance test, a heating cable resistance 
test and a floor sensor resistance test. (see page 7) record your findings in the test & 
commission form enclosed in the box.

Step 8

With the eRibbon laid and secure the finished floor surface can now be laid. When 
using the Duralay Heatflow underlay install directly above the eRibbon

Step 7

Position  the  floor  sensor  thermostat  probe  directly  below  the  electrical  connection 
point.
The floor sensing probe should be installed in-between two heating ribbons and 
secured with the single sided adhesive tape (the floor sensor is used to measure the 
maximum temperature beneath the floor).

Step 6

Unfold the eRibbon with the fibreglass net facing up, lay the eRibbons onto the 
eFoam insulation. Using the doublesided adhesive tape clearly fixed to the eFoam 
ensures the eRibbon is installed with no raised folds. Each pair of cold tails should be 
connected to a low level connection point.

Note

After the finished floor covering has been laid perform the following tests:
•  Insulation resistance test
•  Heating cable resistance test
•  Floor sensor resistance test
Record your findings in the test & commission form enclosed in the box.
