Understanding The System How The System Works You can feel the heat of a campfire even though you are not directly above it. Radiant energy transfer is caused by a warm surface (the campfire) giving up its heat to a cooler surface (your body). This radiant energy travels through space without heating the space itself. It only turns into heat when it contacts a cooler surface. By transferring this heat to all of the objects in the room, the heat slowly moves to warm the air which starts to rise.
Items Needed For The System Installation System Components From WarmlyYours Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter 1. The Customized Installation Plan (or layout). GFCI or ‘GFCI-breaker’ indicating its capacity if not incorporated into the control device you are using. This is a built-in feature of the SmartStat Programmable Thermostat, EasyStat or Comfort Regulator. 2. Heating Roll(s) (15-watt/ sq. ft.
Understanding The Customized Installation Plan The Customized Installation Plan This is your key to a successful installation. Your plan has been custom designed for your individual project based on the dimensions you gave us. It will indicate the placement of each Heating Roll, the electrical service requirements, and the location of the control device(s). It should be reviewed to verify that the dimensions of your room are accurate as well as the location of the permanent fixtures in your space.

Floor Sensor (optional) Secondary Flouropolymer Insulation 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.
One Good Turn Deserves Another The complimentary Installation Plan provided by the WarmlyYours team is very important. It shows the recommended placement of your Heating Roll(s) for safety and optimal efficiency. The plan will also serve as the reference for any future inspections or floor work that needs to be performed. The Heating Element of the WarmlyYours product is sewn in a serpentine pattern onto lengths of Fiberglass Mesh forming a roll. It is quick and simple to cover large areas.
One Good Turn Deserves Another Step Turn Step Turn with Flip Over Start Cut and remove the amount of Fiberglass Mesh indicated in the circle and then make a U Turn. The released Heating Element is then placed in a free form manner in the stepped gap. (See Free Form this section) This is the most popular way to do a step turn because it keeps the Heating Element under the Fiberglass Mesh offering some protection during floor covering installation.
Testing DO NOT SUPPLY THE SYSTEM WITH ELECTRIC CURRENT Go by the Numbers All testing is done with a digital Ohmmeter. Supplying the system with a 120 volt or 240 volt electric current before the installation is complete is not needed to test the system. Taking the Ohm Readings The electrical resistance of the Heating Roll(s) must be checked before you start, and monitored throughout the installation process to ensure there has been no damage causing shorts or breaks.

Installer’s Guide STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 Electrical Planning Prepare the Subfloor Mark the Floor The power supply to the Floor Heating System and the control device will be located at the same point in the room and indicated on your plan. If this location has changed, call WarmlyYours to determine if this will require a new Installation Plan. The lead wire is 15’ long. You can relocate the control device as long as your leads reach the new location. Inspect the subfloor surface carefully.

Glue Down Laminate & Engineered Wood Floors - Installation Guide STEP 1 Install WarmlyYours Heating Rolls 1. Install the floor heating system as recommended, adhering the mesh every 6-8 inches with hot glue (or staples if using cork insulation), carefully routing the power leads alongside the system back to the power supply. Never staple directly over the wires. 2. Install the thermostat sensor probe (if applicable) 6” into the heating mat centered directly between the heating wires.
Shower Mat (Bench & Floor) - Installation Guide STEP 1 STEP 2 Once the mortar bed has set, dry fit the TempZone™ Shower Mat to verify its dimensions and ensure it fits the contours of the shower area. Attach the mat to the subfloor using hot glue.Prepare the latex-modified thinset. Using a flat trowel, spread a coat of thinset over the installed mat. Conduct insulation & resistance tests. Record readings on the warranty card found inside the TempZone™ Installation instructions.
Electrician’s Guide – Trouble Shooting “Beware of Using a Continuity Checker!” Our smaller Heating Rolls have a high Ohm resistance and some continuity checkers do not send enough current to get completely through the wire and emit the noise or light that affirms proper continuity. If your instrument cannot function on a small Heating Roll, please use a digital Ohm meter. Electrical Fault-Finding Once the system has been turned off and made safe, have a suitably qualified person: 1.
Important General Considerations IMPORTANT INFORMATION The most important consideration is to maintain the integrity of the Heating Element; following these simple rules can easily do this: 1. NEVER CUT the Heating Element. 2. NEVER CUT the Heating Roll(s) to make it shorter. 3. NEVER fold or position the Heating Element so that it overlaps itself or other wires. The heating portion of the heating device set shall not touch, cross over, or overlap itself. This will cause dangerous overheating. 4.
