7.6 Installing the temperature sensor
• To minimize floor height, chisel a 10 mm x 10 mm x 250 mm (3/8” x 3/8” x 10”) channel in the subfloor to
receive the floor sensor. The junction has an insulation sheath and a slightly larger diameter than the heating
cable.
• Glue the sensor to the subfloor (Figure 9). The sensor must be solidly fastened to the subfloor to ensure it stays
in place when the cement or an equivalent binder (cement glue, ceramic glue, self-levelling cement) is applied.

The sensor must be embedded in cement or an equivalent binder
