Floor sensor & temperature controller
Important
The floor heating system must be controlled by a temperature control system.
If the floor heating system is to be used for floor warming, an electronic floor temperature control featuring a floor
sensor is recommended to ensure heat levels never exceed the floor covering’s maximum temperature tolerance.
The room temperature control and floor temperature sensor must never be installed where they will be exposed
to sunlight or air drafts.
We recommend using a thermostats with floor sensor specially designed for the control of floor heating systems.
The floor sensor normally comes with a lead wire/cable of 15 feet length. The floor sensor location shall be cente-
red between two adjacent runs of heating cable.
Sensor cable shall be routed to the thermostat located in the wall at suitable operating height.
Do not allow any other cable to overlap with the sensor cable. Maximum limit of the temperature setting on
thermostat should not exceed 30 °C (86 °F).
The details of thermostat installation will be available in the instruction manual provided with the thermostat.
***Refer to instructions that came with your specific thermostat for electrical schematics***
Ground fault circuit-interrupter protection (GFCI) for personnel
shall be provided for cables installed in electrically heated floors
of bathrooms.
Recommended temperature regulation devices:
1 Thermostat with floor sensor and integrated GFCI
(floor warming only).
2 Electronic ambient thermostat with a GFCI
(radiant room heating).
