SYSTEM INSTALLATION
The installation process for a Honeywell floor warming system is
similar to that of floor covering installation and is performed using
many of the same tools. With a little care and conscientious
observance of the installation instructions, a first time installer should
have great success completing their floor warming project.
We strongly recommend that you take time to view the installation
video included with the floor warming kit before starting your warming
project. It will facilitate a better understanding of the written instructions
and provide an excellent visual overview of key installation procedures.
If you encounter any difficulties while installing your system, you will
find an expanded list of helpful troubleshooting tips on our website,
located at www.HoneywellFloorWarming.com. Installation support is
also available by phone between the hours of 8:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
CST, Monday through Friday, by calling 1-866-891-9276.
STEP 1: VERIFY CONTENTS OF YOUR FLOOR WARMING KIT
Before beginning your installation project, check to make sure that
your floor warming kit contains the following items:
1. Floor Warming Roll
2. Installation Guide
3. Circuit Check Electronic Installation Aid
4. Installation Overview DVD
5. Warranty Registration Materials
If any items are missing, please contact a Honeywell floor warming
customer service representative at 1-866-891-9276 for expedited
replacement.
1
STEP 2: GATHER TOGETHER REQUIRED INSTALLATION TOOLS
The following materials are required to perform a floor warming
system installation:
1. Digital Ohm Meter
2. Utility Scissors and Utility Knife
3. Hot Glue Gun, Duct Tape or Staple Gun (for holding
the system in place while working)
4. Broad Tip Permanent Marker and Tape Measure
5. 1/4", 3/8” or 1/2" Notched Trowel, Depending Upon Tile Size
6. Latex Modified Thinset Cement
7. Honeywell Thermostat or System Control Device (sold
separately)
STEP 3: ROUGH-IN ELECTRICAL WORK
The National Electric Code (NEC) recommends a dedicated circuit
for all floor warming systems. Local codes
may differ, so always consult with a qualified
electrician first.
When installing a thermostat, use a 4" square,
2 1/8" deep electrical box with a single mud ring.
Electrical boxes are typically placed 4' to 5' off
the floor. For installations that require a floor
sensor, the installer should include two
pieces of 1/2" conduit from the electrical box
to the base of the wall (see diagram).
Note: A licensed, qualified electrician should perform the installation
of the system thermostat or control device and final electrical
hook-up. The installation requires an electrical conduit and a housing box.
2
STEP 4: CHECK AND PREPARE THE SUBFLOOR
Honeywell floor warming systems may be installed over any subfloor
that is approved for tile or stone application, including plywood,
backer board and concrete slabs.
The subfloor should be carefully inspected to
ensure that it is clean and free of sharp edges,
nails and other materials that may damage
the systemʼs warming cable. All debris
should be removed, protrusions sanded flush
and the floor thoroughly vacuumed before
installation.
Note: If the subfloor is a concrete slab that
contains an expansion joint, position the
system so that it does not cross over the joint.
STEP 5: TEST POSITION YOUR SYSTEM ON THE SUBFLOOR
BEFORE INSTALLING
You should test fit the warming system on the subfloor to determine
where you would like to have the floor warmed for your personal
comfort. See pages 7 - 12 for various layout options and how to cut
and turn the mesh backing to create an optimal fit.
Tip 1: Locate placement of the system's thermostat or control
device and arrange the power leads accordingly. Power
leads should run alongside the system and should never
cross over or under the warming cable, or themselves.
Tip 2: Use a permanent marker directly on
the subfloor to indicate where to position
the system. Additionally, mark the planned
cuts or turns on the subfloor as well as
the system itself. These marks will serve
as a ready reference during final
installation.
Tip 3: If multiple system rolls are being
installed in a single room, position each
roll so that the warming cable or power leads do not cross over
one another.
Note: Warming rolls are never attached to each other
in series. The power leads of each roll must return
separately to the power source.
3
STEP 6: CHECK SYSTEM OHM READING PRIOR TO INSTALLING
Before installing a system, check the Ohm resistance between the two
power conductor wires to make sure that no breaks or shorts have
occurred that could affect the system's future performance.
The Ohm reading should be within +/- 15% variance of the factory
reading indicated on the UL label attached to the warming roll. If the
reading is outside of this variance, contact a Honeywell floor warming
representative at 1-866-891-9276 for assistance.
Tip 1: Check the Ohm meter to make sure
that it contains fresh batteries and is properly
set/calibrated to a scale setting of 0 - 200
prior to taking a reading.
Tip 2: Record Ohm readings in the
chart provided on page 14 and keep
handy for future reference.
STEP 7: SECURE SYSTEM TO SUBFLOOR
1. Position the system on the clean and prepared subfloor. Run the
power leads back to the power supply without crossing over the
warming cable.
Note: The yellow power lead wire is approximately 13'
long and is generally considered the beginning of the
warming roll. The white power lead is approximately 26' long and is
generally considered the end of the roll. Either cable may be
shortened or extended to reach the power
supply, but as they are constructed like
coaxial cables with a sheath around the core
conductor, the sheath must be grounded at
the control end.
2. Make any necessary cuts and turns required
to fit the system into place by following the
directions and layout design examples shown
on pages 7 - 12. Cut only the systemʼs mesh
backing. Never cut the warming cable.
Note: Wherever possible, lay the system with the warming cable
down and the mesh backing up to protect the cable from any
trowel nicks during tile or stone installation.
4
3. If installing a thermostat or control device
that includes a floor sensor, place the sensor
head under the fiberglass mesh and center it
precisely in the middle of the serpentine loop.
Once positioned, hold the sensor in place
with hot glue or duct tape to prevent it from
moving during the remaining installation.
4. Likewise, once the system and power leads
are in place, affix each to the subfloor using hot
glue or duct tape.
Note: Hot glue will not harm the warming
cable or power leads and may be used to
hold them in place. If using a staple gun, apply
staples through the fiberglass mesh only.
Never staple near or directly over the warming
cable or power leads.
5. Once in place, we strongly recommend that
you take photographs of the actual installation
layout of your floor warming system. This will
provide an accurate record should you
undertake additional remodeling in the future,
or in the unlikely event that some issue should
arise with the installation.
STEP 8: COVER THE SYSTEM IN THINSET
CEMENT
(See page 13 if installing system under
hardwood flooring.)
Note: Before applying thinset cement
over your warming system, attach the
Circuit Check installation tool to the two (2)
power lead wires as shown. If your system's
warming cable or power leads are nicked or
cut during installation, an alarm will sound
allowing for immediate identification and
repair.
You are now ready to apply a thin, skim-coat
layer of latex modified thinset cement over
your warming system.
5
1. Make sure that the Circuit Check tool is
properly attached to the power leads before
beginning.
2. Use the flat edge of a trowel to carefully
apply a thin skim-coat of thinset cement over
the warming system and allow it to dry. Be
careful not to nick the warming cable or power
leads with the trowel.
3. Once the thinset has thoroughly dried,
install the new floor covering. We
recommend a 1/4" or 3/8” notched trowel to
assure sufficient coverage of thinset for the
application of a tile or stone floor.
STEP 9: ELECTRICAL POWER HOOKUP
When required by local codes, use a licensed
and qualified electrician to perform the system's
final electrical hook-up
STEP 10: WAITING PERIOD BEFORE
SYSTEM OPERATION
Before operating a new floor warming system, wait until the thinset
cement used to lay the tile or stone floor has fully cured to the
manufacturerʼs specifications (usually 2 to 14 days). Failure to do so
can affect the thinset's curing process, causing it to become brittle
and weakening its bonding characteristics.
STEP 11: WARRANTY REGISTRATION
Your new Honeywell floor warming system comes with a 15 year
limited manufacturer warranty and lifetime technical support.
To activate your warranty, promptly fill out and mail the enclosed
warranty registration materials. For your convenience, you may
also register your Honeywell floor warming system on line at
www.HoneywellFloorWarming.com/warranty.

CREATING AN OPTIMAL FIT WITH A HONEYWELL
FLOOR WARMING SYSTEM
Unlike mat warming systems that offer little placement flexibility,
Honeywell floor warming systems are manufactured in 18" wide rolls
that can be conveniently turned and flipped to create a more
precise fit for optimal warming comfort.
Turns and flips are made by cutting and/or removing portions of the
fiberglass mesh backing attached to the warming cable. To cut the
mesh, use a standard utility scissor or utility knife being careful not
to nick or cut the warming cable or the power leads.
Instructions to complete the various cuts and turns used in creating
an exact fit for a Honeywell system are provided below. A brief
demonstration of the fitting process can also be found on the DVD
that accompanies each kit, or at
www.HoneywellFloorWarming.com/fit.
Tip 1: To make cuts and turns in the warming roll, carefully cut the mesh
backing between the loops of warming cable and separate the mesh.
NEVER CUT THE WARMING CABLE ITSELF.
Tip 2: To reverse direction of the warming roll, perform a “cut-and-turn” by
separating the mesh and sliding the balance of the roll around to head back
in the opposite direction.

Separate Backing
Cut-and-Turn
Tip 3: To move the warming roll in a perpendicular direction, separate the
mesh and “flip” the roll over at a right angle. The warming cable will now be
on top of the mesh backing. As soon as the design layout allows you, flip it
back under so that the cable will be protected from the trowel when
applying thinset
cement.
Tip 4: To free-form” the warming roll around objects or into angled corners,
cut and remove a section of the

FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL STEPS WHEN INSTALLING A
SYSTEM UNDER HARDWOOD FLOOR COVERING
STEP 1: INSTALL WOOD SLEEPERS
Install wood sleepers (strips of wood 1" wide
and 3/8" to 1/2" high) 20" on center across the
entire plywood subfloor leaving appropriate
space for any planned cuts and turns.
Installation of the sleepers creates lanes for
precise placement of the warming system roll.
STEP 2: LAY WARMING SYSTEM
Lay the floor warming system into the 19"
lanes created by the sleepers. Carefully string
the power leads alongside the system within
the lane and back to the power supply.
STEP 3: COVER ROLLS WITH SELF
LEVELING CEMENT
Once the system is in place, cover the warming
system roll with self leveling cement up to and
even with the top of the wood sleepers.
STEP 4: INSTALL HARDWOOD FLOORING
Once the self leveling cement has dried and
cured to the manufacturer's specifications,
install the hardwood floor by nailing it into the
wood sleepers. Be careful not to nail or staple
near the system's warming cable or power
leads.

On the following pages you will find visual examples of just a few of the
many ways that a single-roll Honeywell floor warming system can be placed
into various bathroom settings. Examples are given for Small,
Medium, Large and X-Large warming kit roll lengths. Additional coverage
patterns can be achieved by using multiple kits/rolls in a single installation.
Customers who would like further assistance in laying out their floor
warming system can contact a Honeywell floor warming system customer
service representative at 1-866-891-9276. They will gladly help you design
the layout that best fits the needs of your floor warming project.
RECORD YOUR SYSTEM'S OHM READINGS HERE
FOR READY REFERENCE
Four (4) Ohm readings should be taken from each roll at each stage
of the floor warming system installation as listed below. This is
necessary to ensure that your system is functioning properly and
that no breaks or shorts have occurred that could affect its
performance or integrity.
1. Core to Core: This is the reading between the two inner conductors
of the lead wires.
2. Sheath to Sheath: This is the reading between the two outer
ground sheaths of the lead wires.
3. Core to Sheath START lead: This is the reading between the inner
core and outer ground sheath of the lead wire at the beginning of
