STEP 5: Installing the cold lead
Chisel .25” Grove
5.1 Unroll the power leads of the mat up to the factory splice and
feed it up the wall into the thermostat junction box. The factory splice
MUST BE mounted on the floor and MUST NOT be installed in the
wall.
5.2 Due to the large diameter of the cold lead splice, a .25”
deep channel must be cut into the floor to avoid interference with
the finished floor. For a wood floor Use a router or wood chisel.
For a concrete floor, use An appropriate masonry chisel or power
hammer.
Remove any debris to avoid damage to the cable.
Hot Glue Spice
5.3 Secure the cold lead splice into the chiseled channel with hot
glue. DO NOT USE SCREWS OR STAPLES TO SECURE THE COLD
LEAD.
5.4 Secure any loose (blue) heating cable between the start of the
run and the location where the cable is first laced through the
strapping. Use the single hole straps provided.
IMPORTANT:
THE COLD LEAD SPLICE MUST BE FULLY
EMBEDDED IN THE MORTAR. In addition, the cold
lead splice Must not be bent. No portion of the cold lead
should Enter into a wall or drop through a subpolar.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT skip this step.
Install Alert Monitor
5.5 Install the cable monitor and leave it connected throughout the entire
installation process until the tile has set. If the cable monitor sounds an alarm, stop
and check the cable for damage. The cable is only to be repaired with a factory
splice kit.
