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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

the roll. This reading should be infinity.

A digital Ohm meter should be used when taking readings. The meter

should be set to measure resistance in the range of 0 - 200 Ohms and

fresh batteries should be installed before commencing.

NOTE: Remove the UL label(s) with the factory Ohm reading from the

warming roll(s) and store in a convenient location for future reference,

preferrably at the electrical panel box with the floor warming

installation layout plan and documents.
