Installation Instructions
100 watt/150 watt/200 watt
Step 1
Draw a layout of your room including all obstacles
e.g. toilet, sink etc, (
use the floor plan grid on
page 10
) then determine the required floor area
to be heated. Decide a suitable position for the
thermostat (start point) then sketch the proposed
SmartMat layout to ensure the heated area is
completely covered whilst using all of your mat (
see
mat planner notes on page 6
).
Step 2
Directly below the electrical connection point install
a 10mm flexible tube (provided with each SmartMat)
– you may have to channel a groove to allow the
flexible tube to remain flush with the existing floor.
The floor sensing probe is to be installed into the
flexible tube to monitor the floor temperature.
Ensure the tube is installed to allow easy replacement
of the sensor probe (in case the sensor fails) and
positioned between two heating elements.
The flexible tube in the floor should be sealed to
prevent adhesive or self-levelling compound
entering the tube.
Ensure your SmartMat is correctly sized before you unpack the product.
Call 01473 559077 if you have any questions.
Note
The floor should now be prepared ready for the
SmartMat installation.
All loose particles should be removed and the
floor thoroughly cleaned and treated with any
proprietary sealants as normally required for
your finished floor.
If your existing floor has a bitumen or asphalt
surface, it must either be removed or covered
with a thin flexible self-levelling compound, tile
backer board or water resistant timber.
If you are installing insulated tile backing
boards, do so in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Now check the resistance of the mat
(see page 7 for details)
Steps 3 & 4
Remove the plastic outer cover from the SmartMat.
Position at the start of your matting plan with the
cold tail (power cable) at the electrical connection
and positioned in to a low level electrical back box.
Ensure the separate thermostat floor sensor cable is
inserted into the pre-installed 10mm flexible tube
and returned to the low level electrical back box.
