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.
