Step 11:

 

CONNECT POWER SUPPLY AND THERMOSTAT   

The connection of the power supply and the Thermostat must be done by a qualified electrician. 

The electrician should connect the floor sensor to the thermostat, take the final resistance reading 

and record it on the warranty card, see Step 11. 

Note:

 You 

need  to  mark  the  appropriate  circuit  breaker  reference  label  indicating  which  branch 

circuit supplies the circuits to those electric space heating cables. 

Step 12: MEASURE THE RESISTANCE (THE FOURTH TIME) 

Please refer to Step 5. 

Step 13: RECORD INFORMATION AND AFFIX LABELS 

It is important for the homeowner to mail in the certificate immediately after installing the 

system (cable and thermostat). Failure to do so could void the manufacturer's warranty. The 

warranty is subject to the guarantee conditions listed on the warranty certificate.

 

Keep a copy of the warranty card for your reference. 

Step 14: ENJOY THE COMFORT OF Foil Heating Mat 

The Foil Heating Mat heating system is now ready to use. Increase the floor temperature gradually 

and adjust it until it reaches a comfortable level depending on the type of room and your personal 

preferences.

        Important

 

For  the  extended  Lifetime  warranty  to  apply,  you  must  perform  these  tests,  record  the 

results on the warranty card, and retain a copy of the record.

 

You  must  perform  the  Insulation  Resistance  Test,  the  Heating  Cable  Resistance  Test,  and  the 

Sensor Resistance Test three times during the installation process. 

5.1 Insulation Resistance Test 

This  test ensures that  the insulating  jackets of  the  mat 

are  not  damaged.  A  low  value  indicates  the  cable  has 

been damaged and must be replaced. 

1.

 

Connect the ground wire to the black lead and both 

power wires to the red lead of the multimeter. 

2.

 

Make sure the meter reads “Open” or “OL.” If you 

get  a  different  reading,  contact  Adept  at  01394 

593110. 

3.

 

Record these readings on the warranty card. 

5.2 Heating Cable Resistance Test 

This  test  measures  the  resistance  of  the  Heating  Mat 

and is used to determine circuit integrity. 

1.

 

Set your multimeter to the 200 or 2000 ohm range. 

2.

 

Connect  the  multimeter  leads  to  the  black  and 

white cold lead wires. 

3.

 

Compare  this  resistance  reading  to  the  resistance 

specified in the Product Selection Table. The value should be within

 

-5% to +10%. If you get 

a different reading, contact Adept at 01394 593110. 

4.

 

Record these readings on the warranty card.
