The Heating Element
The Heating Element consists of two copper alloy resistance wires covered by Flouropolymer insulation. A braided
metal surrounds the primary Flouropolymer insulation and serves as ground sheath. The Heating Element
(A)
attached
with tape
(C)
in a serpentine pattern to a flexible Fiberglass Mesh
(B)
. The Fiberglass Mesh is designed to keep the
Heating Element evenly spaced throughout the roll. The cold lead return wire is factory installed at one end of the
Heating Roll and must run back to the power supply along the perimeter of the heated space. The power lead
(D)
is
15-feet in length. The lead is spliced to the Heating Element
(E)
at the factory. If necessary, this lead wire may be
shortened or even extended. Please note the thickness of the factory splice and cold lead and plan accordingly. The
factory splices must be completely embedded in thinset or self-leveling underlayment.
Floor Sensor (not required for all systems)
Temperature sensor wire must be tested before and after installation and must measure between 8k to 12k ohm for
temperatures between 68-86 F (20-30C). This measurement must be done with a digital ohm meter, set to the 20k
range. Beware of self-ranging meters and analog meters.
Systems using a SmartStat Programmable Thermostat or EasyStat require a Floor Sensor (G). This Sensor is embedded
in the floor and monitors the floor temperature. The Floor Sensor should be centered in between 2 resistance wires
leaving approximately 1.5” on either side and extend about 6” into the heated area. Avoid placing the sensor in an
area affected by a draft, a radiator or the sun. Must be installed if using a thermostat. Some people choose to install a
second (Backup) sensor. For an additional cost you may purchase a second sensor.
Relay Contactor or Power Modules
(not required for all systems)
Systems installed in large spaces will most likely require a Relay
Contactor or Power Module(s) in addition to the control device
to operate properly. The Relay or the Power Modules may be
located in the same vicinity as the control device. If your system
will be using this option, all cold leads will be connected to the
relay contactor or power module and not directly to the control
device.
Heating Roll(s): Types and Sizes
Roll(s) are rated at 15-watts per square foot and vary in length.
Each roll is designed to draw a specific amount of electricity
and therefore produce the proper amount of heat based on its
length. For this reason, the length of the roll(s) can never be
shortened to make a proper fit. Your Installation Plan has been
designed to specifically accommodate your space. The same is
true for rooms that have multiple rolls. Multiple rolls are never
wired to each other. Each roll is wired in parallel to the control
device or relay contactor.
Working with the Heating Roll(s)
The roll(s) that make up your system have been selected to
fit into your floor plan. The Installation Plan shows precisely
where each roll starts and ends. The “Lead Wire” on each roll
is designed to travel back to the control device location. These
wires do not heat. All connections are made at this point. While
it may be required to cut and alter the “Fiberglass Mesh”, the
“Heating Element” must stay intact. Page 5 shows in detail
how to make the necessary turns to install your Floor Heating
System.
Separating the Heating Element
from the Mesh
During the installation, you may need to separate the Heating
Element from the Fiberglass Mesh. This can be done provided
the Heating Element is not cut and the shielding is not nicked
or punctured. It will be necessary to do this when releasing the
Heating Element to make step turns and position it in a “Free
Form” space.
