CONTROLLING YOUR SYSTEM:
WarmlyYours recommends that the SmartStat
programmable thermostat control the Environ II
heaters. The SmartStat come with a fl oor sensor that
allows you to set your heater to the exact temperature
you desire. These sophisticated units also allow you
to set the time – for example one may chose to have
a warm bedroom carpet fi rst thing in the morning upon
waking, the carpet does not need to remain warm
during the day, but can be programmed to come on
again for a few hours around bedtime!
Most wood laminate manufacturers specify that their fl oors should not be
subjected to temperatures in excess of 84 degF. The only reliable way to
achieve this is to install a temperature sensor on top of, or directly under the
Environ II panel, placed under the wood laminate.
Check with your laminate
manufacturer or WarmlyYours to see what are their recommendations for
installing electric radiant heat under their fl oors.
PROFESSIONAL ELECTRIC INSTALLATION:
Caution:
Only a qualifi ed person who is familiar with the construction
and operation of the apparatus and the hazards involved shall install this
product.
The installation of electrical systems presents risks of fi re and electrical
shock which can result in personal injury. Caution should always be taken
to guard against each such risk. Only a qualifi ed electrician should connect
Environ II panels to the thermostat and / or to the electrical supply circuit. All
such connections MUST be in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and all local Codes. A carpet layer, fl ooring contractor or a Do-It-Yourselfer
can install the panels on the fl oor, before the electrician connects them to
a thermostat and an electrical circuit.
For USA installations: All such connections MUST be in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and all local Codes.
For Canadian installations: The installation shall be made according to
the provisions of Section 12 and 62 of the Canadian Electric Code Part 1
which reads:
ITEMS REQUIRED FOR SYSTEM INSTALLATION:
System components from WarmlyYours
1.
The customized installation Plan (or layout)
2.
If multiple mats are to be connected to one control device
they must be wired in parallel
3.
Control with an in-fl oor temperature sensor.
Double Check your Dimensions
Check and verify that your plan has the correct room dimensions. Your
order consists of the exact amount of material required to complete your

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
GFCI or ‘GFCI-breaker’ indicating its capacity if not incorporated into the
control device you are using. This is a built-in feature of the SmartStat
Programmable Thermostat.
Digital Ohm Meter (multi-meter)
Test the foil mats before, during and after the installation. A digital meter
is strongly recommended because of the precise measurements needed.
Electrical Housing Boxes/Switch Plates
All control devices except a Relay Contactor fi t into a single gang box.
If a double gang box is used it will need to be fi tted with a single gang
mud ring. We recommend a double gang box with a single gang mud
ring as it provides more room to place all the wires.
