Before you start laying the STRATA_HEAT™ Wire ensure that the heating
cable(s) are tested.
Gently pull the unheated lead from the box. Do not remove the spool from the
box as this will cause the STRATA_HEAT Wire to twist.
After 10 feet (3 m) of cable has been removed, you will reach the point at
which the unheated lead joins the STRATA_HEAT Wire.
The joint should be taped to the floor at the start point. Ensure that the factory
joint lays flat on the floor.
The joint must be installed under the floor covering and covered with mortar or
self-levelling underlayment. A channel will need to be made into the subfloor
to accommodate the extra height of the joint.
Care should be taken to ensure that the joint is not bent at the point of entry
into the conduit as this may damage both the factory joint and/or the heating
element within.
Secure the joint to the subfloor using duct tape. Do
NOT completely cover the
joint in tape as this may create air pockets resulting in failure of the joint.
Repeat this process for each STRATA_HEAT Wire installed.
Install the STRATA_HEAT Wire as per the installation plan.
The STRATA_HEAT Wire should be laid in parallel lines back and forth across
the main body of the area to be heated.
Use the spacing guide on page 4 to space the cable. The STRATA_HEAT Wire
must not be spaced out any closer than 2" (50 mm) at any time.
Ensure that the cable is held in place by the fixing guides and that you
maintain moderate tension on the cable to prevent it from lifting during the
installation of the final floor covering.
Using duct tape secure the end joint to the floor. Do not cover the whole joint
in tape as air pockets may cause the end joint to overheat.
