Phase 6: Control Installation
STEP 6.1:
Install the Controls
If it has not already been done, install an electrical box for the
SunStat. Do not forget to attach a single-gang mud-ring to
mount the SunStat if a 4" square box was used. See Phase 3 for
details.
STEP 6.2
Refer to the wiring diagrams in the Appendix of this manual for
typical configurations.
STEP 6.3
Read and follow the instructions included with the SunStat
thermostat for complete connection instructions, requirements,
and mounting.
STEP 6.4
Make any final connections to the circuit breaker or branch
circuit source
STEP 6.5:
System Start Up
After all controls are installed, do not energize the system,
except to briefly test operation of all components (no longer
than 10 minutes). Do not put the system into full operation
until the tile or flooring installer verifies all cement
materials are fully cured (typically two to four weeks). See
mortar manufacturer’s instructions for recommended curing
time.
NOTE: Most laminate and wood floor manufacturers specify
their flooring should not be subjected to temperatures
over 82 to 84F (27 to 28C). Check with the flooring
dealer or manufacturer and set the thermostat
appropriately.
Refer to the installation sheets provided with the controls for
proper setting. The system should now operate as designed.
Please leave this instruction manual, SunStat instructions, and
copies of photos of the installed heating system with the end
user.
