NOTE: TO REMAIN COMPLIANT WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
(NEC, ARTICLE 424 PART IX) THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MUST USE A
TERMINAL JUNCTION TO BE CONSIDERED A HEATING SHEET SET. THIS IS A
REQUIRED PART OF THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE. THE HEATING FILM
CAN ONLY BE INSTALLED ON A DEDICATED ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT(S), NOT TO
EXCEED 80% OF THE BREAKER'S RATED CAPACITY. POWER IS USED @ 15
WATTS PER SQUARE FOOT OF HEATING FILM, WITH A THERMAL OUTPUT OF
51 BRITISH THERMAL UNITS (BTU'S) PER SQUARE FOOT OF HEATING FILM.
Before installation of the thermostat, always make sure the power is off.
The installation should be done by a qualified electrician in accordance
with all current electrical and building regulations. The installer needs
to follow the thermostat manufacturer's instruction manual. Once the
thermostat has been installed, complete the set-up programming and
make sure to program the floor sensor temperature to the flooring
manufacturer's desired temperature.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
ATTACHING THE THERMOSTAT
A single-gang junction box or a
double-gang box is required for the
thermostat and slave connections.
Two conduits should be placed from
the junction box to the bottom of
the rough-in wall. One conduit is for
the cold leads from the Heating Film
and the other conduit is for the floor
sensor. The floor sensor wire should
not be placed in the same conduit as
the supply leads.
