STEP ONE

INSTALLING THE SENSOR

New Installations

Thin-Set or Thin-Pour Applications

If the floor covering is to be installed over either

a thin-set or thin-pour material of sufficient

depth, the 079 slab sensor can be placed

directly into either the thin-set material or the

thin-pour material and covered over. Ensure

that the sensor is located in such a position that

the attached wire is able to reach to a suitable

junction location. Splices within the thin-set or

(45 mm) long should be cut to accommodate the sensor. The sensor should be located

mid way between the heating elements to ensure a proper temperature reading.

thin-pour should be avoided to ensure trouble free operation. The sensor should be located

mid way between the heating elements to ensure a proper temperature reading.

Thin Floor Coverings (less

than 3/8” (10 mm))

If a thin floor covering is to be installed directly

to the subfloor, a groove 1/8” (4 mm) wide by

1/16” (2 mm) deep can be cut into the surface of

the subfloor to accommodate the wire for the

sensor. Ensure that the sensor is located in

such a position that the attached wire is able

to reach to a suitable junction location. Splices

under the floor covering should be avoided to

ensure trouble free operation. A groove 3/16”

(5 mm) wide by 3/16” (5 mm) deep by 1-3/4”

Thick Floor Coverings (great-

er than 3/8” (10 mm))

If a thick floor covering is to be installed directly

to the subfloor, a groove 1/8” (4 mm) wide by

1/16” (2 mm) deep can be cut into the back

of the flooring material to accommodate the

wire for the sensor. Ensure that the sensor is

located in such a position that the attached wire

is able to reach to a suitable junction location.
