Operating Instructions
OPERATION
Make sure the mats and/or cables to be monitored are
not connected to a power source.
The LoudMouth is designed to monitor the mats or cables
individually. However, by making a temporary “series” con-
nection of multiple mats or cables, it can monitor up to three
products at one time.
1. FOR A SINGLE MAT OR CABLE: Insert each lead wire
from the mat or cable into the L1 and L2 terminals
(no polarity) with the ground wire inserted into the G ter-
minal. Tighten the terminal screws onto the wires.
FOR UP TO THREE MATS OR CABLES: Connect one
non-ground lead wire from one mat or cable into the L1
terminal. Connect one non-ground lead wire from a
DIFFERENT mat or cable into the L2 terminal. Now
connect the remaining lead wires so that the mats or
cables are in “series” with one another. If this is not done
properly, the LoudMouth may not correctly
monitor the mats. Lastly, connect all ground wires
from the mats or cables together to the G terminal using
a jumper wire. See schematics on reverse side
for proper connection to the LoudMouth.
2. Set the switch to the “ON” position.
3. A green light indicates the LoudMouth is operating.
4. Hang or place the LoudMouth where it can be seen and
heard during heating product installation.
5. A red light and alarm indicate lead wires have come loose
from terminals or damage has occurred to the heating
product.
6. Press the TEST button to simulate a damage condition
before beginning work and anytime during installation if
desired to confirm LoudMouth operation.
Call Watts Radiant at 800-276-2419 if damage or prob-
lems occur. Refer to the heating product Installa-tion Manual
for detailed installation instruction.
PREPARATION
1. Open the battery compartment cover and connect the 9-volt
battery included.
2. Replace the battery compartment cover and switch the unit
“ON”.
3. The alarm should sound and the red light should be lit when
there are no connections to a mat or cable. If these things
do not occur, inspect the battery connection or replace the
battery.
4. During normal use, the green light indicates that the
LoudMouth is monitoring the mat or cable for damage.
Should the green light go out, replace the battery before
continuing work.
Connect the leads to the LoudMouth. Swith the unit “ON”. The green light
should be lit.
The LoudMouth is NOT intended to replace the use of a multi-meter for
testing the heating product. Follow the installation instructions given with the
heating product and fully test and record the resistances with a multi-meter.
The LoudMouth is designed to assist in electrically monitoring Watts
Radiant, electric floor warming products for potential damage during
product installation and floor covering installation. Watts Radiant in no
way ensures that the potential damage will be found by the LoudMouth
and is not liable for damage or location, repair, labor, or any other costs
associated with damage that is found or not found by the LoudMouth.
