4.5.2 Installation of temperature sensor
1. Once the mats are unrolled, install the cable duct for the temperature sensor at the pre-determined
location.
Note: The ideal location for the temperature sensor is a site exempt from any obstacles (walls,
doors, etc.).
2. Feed the temperature sensor into the appropriate cable duct and locate it between two parallel OWC-M
heating cable mats.
3. The temperature sensor must be installed as near as possible to the floor surface and solidly anchored
with a piece of wood or polystyrene foam so it will not shift during the concrete pouring process.
Note: Make sure the sensor is long enough to be connected to the thermostat.
The temperature sensor must be
completely encased in concrete.
4.5.3 Final steps while securing the installation
1. Once the installation of the cables and sensor is complete, you must then secure the entire installation
by adding plastic floor fasteners on the cables and the sensor. A sufficient quantity of fasteners is
supplied with the kit to ensure the installation of one (1) fastener at every feet (12 cm) of mats.
Note: We recommend securing the beginning and end of every mat section with 4 fasteners and then
allocating the rest of the fasteners at every 2 feet maximum over the entire installation.
2. Once all fasteners have been installed, have ready the material required for the protection of the
concrete cables in accordance with the concrete pouring method selected. See section 4.6.
3. Lastly, check the resistance and cable insulation and record these measures on line # 2 of the measure-
ment chart on the electrical panel label.
