Throughout the installation process
it is very important to take resistance
readings of the mat to make sure it is
not damaged. Use a quality digital
ohmmeter or multimeter to make these
measurements. Analog meters (with
the moving needle) are not accurate
for this product.
The LoudMouth
™
monitor shown
at left will help constantly monitor
the mat for you during the entire
installation. Ask about purchasing this
invaluable tool.

There is a factory-applied nameplate
label at the end of the mat and also on
the cold leads as shown at lower left.
Do not remove these. Record the mat
serial number, mat size, voltage, and
panel resistance range on the table
below for each mat.
To retain the Limited Warranty as
stated at the back of this manual, these
items and the following measurements
must be recorded, as well as all steps
of this manual followed. Refer to the
Limited Warranty now for complete

Make the following measurements
(as a minimum)
• before you begin installation
• after the mat is fastened to the floor
• after floor coverings are installed
Also, checking these measurements
often during tile installation is highly
recommended to avoid burying a
damaged wire.

Measure resistance between the
black and white leads (black and blue
leads for 240V mats) and record this
below. This measurement should be
within the Mat Resistance range shown
on the nameplate label, or if the label
gives only a single number it must be
within ±10%. A cut or break in the
wire is indicated by a resistance of
“infinite” ohms (no continuity).

Measure resistance between the
black and green leads and between the
white and green leads (blue and green
leads for 240V mats) and record these
below. This measurement should be
“infinite” ohms (no continuity). A cut
or pinch in the wire is indicated by a
resistance value between zero and the
mat resistance.
If the resistance is not correct, or if
you cut or damage the wire, quickly
clean up the damaged area and call the
factory for further instructions.

We created the LoudMouth to monitor the
mat during the installation process. If the mat is
cut or damaged during installation, this device
sounds an alarm. The LoudMouth will prevent
you from burying damaged wire below
hardened mortar and tile or stone.
Record the information from this nameplate
label in the Mat Resistance Log at right.
The electric radiant heating warning label
must be placed near, or on the face of the
mat control.
Radiant Floor Heating Mat
Warning - Risk of electric shock
Electric wiring and heating panels
contained below the floor.
Do not penetrate floor with nails, screws,
or similar devices.
Leave this nameplate on the power
leads for later inspection.
