Installation Guide

Each heating cable is subject to factory quality control. However, damage to the cables may happen after the product leaves the factory. In order to ensure
that the cable quality remains unchanged throughout the installation process and for warranty purposes, tests must be conducted while the cable is still on the
spool and during two specific subsequent steps. Measurements must be recorded in the table below and compared to initial measurements taken when the
cable was on the spool in order to enable you to detect any changes related to the electrical property of the cable. Any installation-related cable damages are
not covered by the warranty. See page 17 in this DITRA-HEAT Installation Handbook for complete heating cable testing instructions.
The homeowner/end user must submit a copy of the completed heating cable tests log, including “Test 1: Conductor Resistance,” “Test 2: Conductor
and Ground Braid Continuity,” and “Floor Temperature Sensors Test”, with the warranty registration card within 14 days of installing the product to qualify
for resolution for failure of the Schluter

-DITRA-HEAT-TB Limited System
Warranty for ten (10) years. Completion of “Test 3: Insulation Resistance,” in addition to those listed above, will extend the term for resolution for failure
of the Schluter

-DITRA-HEAT & Schluter
®
-DITRA-HEAT-TB Limited System Warranty from ten (10)
years to fifteen (15) years. Registration can be completed by mail or online at www.schluter.com/registerwarranty.
Completion of warranty registration qualifies customers for the system warranty, in which Schluter
®
-Systems shall a) reinstall or replace the failed portion
of the floor covering assembly or b) pay an amount not to exceed the original square foot cost of the installation of the floor covering assembly verified to
be defective.
Failure to complete this warranty registration will result in a twenty-five (25) year Limited Product Warranty that the Schluter
®
-DITRA-HEAT-E-HK heating
cable purchased shall be free from defects in material and workmanship effective on the date of purchase by or for the original purchaser. The maximum
liability of the company, in this case is limited to the cost of the original cable multiplied by the percentage of the warranty period remaining.
Homeowner/end user must retain this heating cable tests log for warranty purposes.
