Note:
If it is not practical to cut a groove in the
surface covering, follow the installation method used
for thin floor coverings.
Floor Sensor Installation
Thin-set or Thin-pour Applications
If installing the floor covering over either a thin-set or thin-pour material of sufficient depth,
the floor sensor can be placed directly into either the thin-set material or the thin-pour
material and covered over. Ensure the sensor is
located in such a position that the attached wire is
able to reach to a suitable junction location. Avoid
splices within the thin set or thin pour to ensure
trouble-free operation. Locate the sensor midway
between the heating elements to ensure a proper
temperature reading.
