Phase 6: Control Installation
Step 6.1:
Install the Controls
If it has not already been done, install an electrical box for the
SunStat and SunStat Relay. 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 and SunStat Relay 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 820 to 840F (270 to 280C). 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.
