Before you start<br />
<strong>Warmup</strong> <strong>Heating</strong> <strong>Mat</strong>s are made of ultra thin heating cables taped to a fibreglass mesh with 3”<br />
centers and a 20” width. The mats are designed to provide a consistent heat output of 14 W/square<br />
foot. These mats are ideal for large, regularly-shaped rooms and make installation much quicker<br />
then loose wire systems. For smaller rooms of irregular shape, we recommend that you use our<br />
<strong>Warmup</strong> Loose Wire system for better results. <strong>Warmup</strong> <strong>Heating</strong> <strong>Mat</strong>s are ideal for use under tile,<br />
stone and porcelain. They can even be installed beneath wooden or vinyl floor finishes provided<br />
that the mats are covered with a smooth cementitious compound.<br />
Double check your measurements and ensure you have the right heating mat sizes for the area<br />
you need to heat. Bear in mind that the heating element should not be installed under appliances<br />
or permanent fixtures and fittings such as refrigerators, washer-dryer, cabinets, tubs, vanity units<br />
etc...<br />
The <strong>Warmup</strong> floor heating mat must be connected to a dedicated circuit so as to prevent<br />
overloading. The required amperage of the circuit (used to supply the system) is determined from<br />
the data on the product label. The <strong>Warmup</strong> thermostat has a maximum resistive load of 15 amps. It<br />
also includes a built-in GFCI. If you want to control loads exceeding 15A using a single thermostat<br />
you will need to use <strong>Warmup</strong>’s master / relay thermostat configuration. For further information,<br />
please refer to the <strong>Warmup</strong>’s floor heating thermostat installation manual.<br />

NOTE: The <strong>Warmup</strong> thermostat can switch a maximum of 15 amps. If you are installing more than two heaters you will require a junction box.<br />
The mesh size may vary between +/- 5% due to manufacturing tolerances.<br />
4
Electrical Considerations<br />
For each <strong>Warmup</strong> <strong>Heating</strong> mat you install, you will have an unheated lead running from the floor<br />
to the thermostat’s electric connection. The joint connecting the unheated lead to the heating<br />
cable must be at least 2 inches from the wall and in a position to be covered by tile and thin set<br />
mortar.<br />
We recommend you do not alter the length of the unheated lead, however if necessary, the wire<br />
can be extended if a CSA -approved wire and connector box suitable for the purpose is used (e.g.<br />
waterproof if going into the floor, etc). If the unheated lead is shortened, a minimum of 12” of lead<br />
must be left before the joint. This must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with<br />
CEC part 1 in Canada or NEC, Article 424, Part V of the NEC ANSIINFPA 70 in the US.<br />
It may be necessary to chisel out short channels in the subfloor to minimize the increased height<br />
presented by the floor probe and the unheated lead provided.<br />
Separate conduit will be required to run the unheated lead and the sensor wire back up to the<br />
thermostat. Please note that they cannot be placed within the same conduit. Neither the unheated<br />
lead or sensor wire must cross, or come into contact with, the heating cable. Bear in mind that<br />
you will need to make provision for drawing the unheated leads and sensor wire up through the<br />
conduit up to the control box.<br />
Making Electrical Provision<br />
Please refer to the table on page 8 to calculate the amperage load for your particular system.<br />
For smaller areas, you may be able to utilize an existing circuit. In most cases, however, you will<br />
need a separate circuit to power the <strong>Warmup</strong> heaters.<br />
<strong>Warmup</strong> thermostats have a maximum resistive load of 15 amps and include built-in GFCI devices.<br />
If you want to control more than 15 amps worth of heating via a single thermostat you will need to<br />
use <strong>Warmup</strong>’s master / relay configuration. The relay units require their own separate dedicated<br />
electrical feed, and up to 10 relay units can be daisy chained to a single master unit via low voltage<br />
cabling. For further information please call the <strong>Warmup</strong> Helpline on 1-888-5-WARMUP or visit<br />
www.warmup.ca.<br />
The thermostat should be connected to the main electrical supply via a fuse or circuit in accordance<br />
with the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada or the National Electrical Code in the USA. If the<br />
thermostat used does not include a built-in Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), then one must<br />
be added to the circuit between the main power supply and the thermostat. If the thermostat<br />
does include a GFCI, it is NOT recommended to include another in the circuit, as this may cause<br />
accidental tripping of the control unit.<br />
Ensuring Safety<br />
Install the <strong>Warmup</strong> thermostat within the same room as the heater. In order to ensure the efficient<br />
running of the system within bathrooms, we recommend that the controls are located at least 36<br />
inches away from shower openings or basin back splash areas so that you minimize the possibility<br />
of exposure to water.<br />
The rating label in this manual must be attached to the circuit breaker box for referral by the<br />
homeowner or electrical inspector. An additional smaller label, also in this manual, is to be<br />
attached adjacent to or on the thermostatic control.<br />
Floor probe location<br />
The floor probe wire for the <strong>Warmup</strong> thermostat will be approximately 15 feet long. The end of the<br />
wire contains a capped sensor that should be centered between two heater wires at least 12” into<br />
the heated area. At no time should the probe wire cross the heating cable.<br />
As with all electrical projects, we strongly recommend that you should not undertake electrical work unless you are<br />
competent to do so. Do make sure all electrical work is done by qualified persons in accordance with Canadian Electrical<br />
Code (CEC) Part 1 in Canada or National Electrical Code, Article 424, Part V of the NEC ANSIINFPA 70 in the USA. If in any<br />
doubt consult a qualified electrician.<br />

Subfloor Preparations<br />
Prior to heater installation, it is important that the subfloor is prepared in accordance with<br />
the Tile Council of North America Guidelines.<br />
WOODEN SUBFLOOR: Must have any movement or deflection removed so as to provide a rigid<br />
base to tile upon. Chipboard and O.S.B. boards (flake boards) are not suitable bases for ceramic<br />
floor tiling without any form of strengthening or re-enforcement. Using <strong>Warmup</strong> Insulation Boards<br />
or cement based tile backer boards will reduce the movement in your wooden subfloor. When tiling<br />
on to wooden subfloors it is essential to use good quality polymer or latex modified adhesives and<br />
grouts.<br />
SUBFLOORS PREVIOUSLY COVERED IN LINOLEUM, CORK OR CARPETING: All old flooring and<br />
adhesive must be removed. If bitumen is present as an adhesive residue, it must be removed. If the<br />
bitumen is a damp proofing membrane or isolation membrane, it must be covered with a minimum<br />
50mm (2”) of sand/cement self leveler, taking care not to puncture the bitumen coating. If using<br />
other damp proofing or tanking systems, contact the manufacturer for advice.<br />
We strongly recommend installing tile and stone flooring according to manufacturers recommendations, TCNA <strong>guide</strong>lines.<br />
Using plywood<br />
Ensure adequate underfloor ventilation.<br />
Secure existing floorboards and if necessary, pre- level<br />
with a latex cement self-levelling compound to give a flush<br />
fit for the subsequently applied plywood. Refer to Tile<br />
Council of North America <strong>guide</strong>lines regarding sealing<br />
the backs and edges of the plywood before attaching.<br />
Attaching ply directly to the joists will not provide a<br />
sufficiently stable floor finish to accept tiles; fitting tongue<br />
and groove flooring and then over-boarding with plywood,<br />
<strong>Warmup</strong> Insulation Boards or a cement based tile backer<br />
board is recommended. A rigid base is essential.<br />

adhesive if fixing on a concrete subfloor. To increase rigidity<br />
over plywood, fixing screws (sold separately) can be used to<br />
secure the boards in place.<br />
After attaching the board to the subfloor, the <strong>Warmup</strong><br />
<strong>Heating</strong> <strong>Mat</strong> System may be laid directly on top of the tile<br />

Preliminary steps<br />
Determine the location of the thermostat<br />
The expanded electrical box must be installed in an accessible area within the room where the<br />
system will be installed. The connection to the box will be done via the mat’s cold lead (unheated<br />
section of lead wire). Part of the cold lead will run inside the wall to complete the connection to<br />
the thermostat. The other part must be installed in a groove in the subfloor in order to be at the<br />
same level as the mat. The joint connecting the unheated lead to the heating cable must be at<br />
least 2” (50mm) from the wall and in a position to be covered by tile and thin set mortar.<br />
We recommend that if you alter the length of the unheated lead that a minimum of 12” (300mm)<br />
of lead be left before the joint. If necessary, the cold lead can be extended if a CSA-approved wire<br />
and connector box suitable for the purpose is used (e.g. waterproof if going into the floor, etc).<br />
A separate conduit will be required to run the unheated lead and the sensor wire back up to the<br />
thermostat. Please note that they cannot be placed within the same conduit. Neither the unheated<br />
lead or sensor wire must cross, or come into contact with, the heating cable. Bear in mind that<br />
you will need to make provision for drawing the unheated leads and sensor wire up through the<br />
conduit up to the control box.<br />
Check measurements<br />
Please take a moment to double-check that your plan has the proper room dimensions and that<br />
you have the correct size and proper number of heating mats <strong>CAPFM</strong>. Once the mat has been cut<br />
it cannot be returned. <strong>Mat</strong>s should run backwards and forwards between walls and obstructions<br />
as shown in the examples.<br />
When laying two or more heaters, ensure the unheated leads reach the thermostat. The heating<br />
cable must not be cut or modified in any way.<br />
8
<strong>Installation</strong> steps (1)<br />
Testing the heating mat before installation<br />
1<br />
Before installation, you must ensure that the heating mat is working properly and that it<br />
conforms with the technical specifications.<br />
Using a digital multimeter, check the heating cable’s resistance and the continuity of the protective<br />
ground braid. Please note that analog meters with a moving needle are not sufficiently accurate<br />
for testing the <strong>Warmup</strong> heating element. Set your multimeter to measure between 0-200 Ohms.<br />
Acceptable readings of the resistance measurements should fall within +/- 5% of the values<br />
indicated on page 4. There should NOT be any continuity between the ground wire and either of<br />
the white wire or the black live wire. Any continuity indicates there is a short in the circuit.<br />
If at any time your readings are not in line with the <strong>guide</strong>lines above, or you suspect there is a<br />
problem, please call the <strong>Warmup</strong> Technical Helpline at 1-888-5-WARMUP. Alternatively, <strong>Warmup</strong><br />
Watchdog Continuity Testers (sold separately) may be used. These small testers are designed as an<br />
aid to ensure integrity of the cable and are not intened to replace resistance reading checks with<br />
a multimeter as described above.<br />
Planning and marking<br />
2<br />
Using a permanent marker, mark out areas on the subfloor where units and fixtures will be<br />
fitted. DO NOT install the heating mat <strong>CAPFM</strong> in any of these areas.<br />
Start by laying <strong>CAPFM</strong> in the location closest to the thermostat (DO NOT affix or cut <strong>CAPFM</strong> yet).<br />
Mark the positions of any turns or cuts that you will need to make with the mat on the floor.<br />
Mark the position and planned route of the power lead cables as well as the floor sensor. It is best<br />
to avoid placing the floor sensor in areas of heat fluctuations. It may be necessary to cut a channel<br />
in the floor to ensure the floor sensor is kept at the same height as the heating element.<br />
Using a wood or concrete chisel, make a groove of approximately ¼” (6mm) in the sub-floor to<br />
place the joint between the power cable and cold lead.<br />
NOTE: If you have a loose wire (wire cut away from the fibreglass mesh) make sure the loose<br />
wires are no closer than 2” (50mm) from each other, the wall or from any other wires still<br />
attached to the mesh.<br />
All joints need to be placed in the subfloor. No cables may cross at any time (including the floor<br />
sensor and power lead).<br />
Testing the system during installation<br />
3<br />
Perform the same test as described on page 4 to ensure that the<br />
heating element has not been damaged during planning. If the resistance<br />
reading have changed from the previous readings, stop installation and call<br />
1-888-5-WARMUP.<br />
9
<strong>Installation</strong> steps (2)<br />
Cutting, turning and fixing the heating mat<br />
4<br />
When you have precisely planned where the mat should be laid, start cutting and turning<br />
the mat where marks have been made, beginning at the location closest to the thermostat. Never<br />
allow strips of mesh to overlap. If you remove the wire from the mesh for a custom layout, maintain<br />
a minimum 2” (50mm) to a maximum 4” (100mm) spacing between the heating cable.<br />
Be careful and NEVER cut the heating cable.<br />
Once you have laid out the mat according to the plan, adhere the <strong>CAPFM</strong> with the double sided<br />
tape on the mat. Use tape to affix the loose wires. Once the mat is fitted, check to ensure there<br />
are no loose sections paying close attention to the ends of the mats and any section which has<br />
been turned.<br />
When installing the mat, certain distance limits must be respected:<br />
• No closer than 1” (25mm) from the base of fixed furniture, steps leading to a bath, baths or<br />
showers.<br />
• No closer than 2” (50mm) from a wall<br />
• No closer than 6” (150mm) from a toilet, wax ring or drain<br />
• No closer than 8” (200mm) from a heating appliance attached to or in contact with the floor<br />
5<br />
Testing the system after installation<br />
Perform the same test as in step 2<br />
10
<strong>Installation</strong> steps (3)<br />
Installing the floor sensor<br />
6<br />
Place the floor sensor (from the thermostat) below the fibreglass mesh between two heating<br />
elements. The floor sensor must be installed centrally between the two runs of heating element<br />
and should extend a minimum 12” (300mm) into the heated area. Secure the floor sensor using<br />
tape.<br />
Min 12” (300mm)<br />
NOTE: Test the probe wire: the temperature sensor must be verified before and after installation.<br />
For probe resistance, refer to the thermostat instructions.<br />
The floor heating thermostat should be installed by a certified electrician.<br />
Fitting Power Leads<br />
7<br />
Each <strong>CAPFM</strong> is fitted with a single<br />
power lead for connecting to the thermostat.<br />
To ensure the power lead remains at the same<br />
level as the heating element, you need to cut<br />
or chisel a channel in the subfloor.<br />
When doing this take care not to damage the<br />
heating element. Secure the power lead in<br />
place using tape. Fish the cold tail lead and<br />
sensor probe lead through the conduit and in<br />
to the expanded electrical box that will house<br />
the thermostat.<br />
Electrical connection to the thermostat must<br />
be conducted by a qualified electrician and in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code Part<br />
1 in Canada or the National Electrical Code in the USA, especially Article 424, Part V of the NEC<br />
ANSIINFPA 70.<br />
11
<strong>Installation</strong> steps (4) (3)<br />
Final testing<br />
8 Re-verify the cable’s integrity as in step 1<br />
Take a photo of your installation before proceeding to the covering<br />
of the mat with a scratch coat and/or self levelling cement. These<br />
photos will help:<br />
• Ensure the conformity of your installation with industry standards<br />
• Validate the warranty<br />
• Locate the placement of the mat and runs of cables in the event of future renovations<br />
Tile and grout the floor<br />
9 Ensure you use ceramic tile adhesives and grouts suitable for use with floor heating systems<br />
(they must contain a flexible additive). The mat(s), power lead and floor probe must be<br />
entirely covered. It is important that each tile is firmly bedded in tile adhesive, with no gaps or<br />
voids beneath.<br />
Before switching on the system, it is important to respect the curing time and drying time<br />
recommended by the adhesive manufacturer. Install the floor covering following the manufacturer’s<br />
instructions.<br />
NOTE: Do not store tiles or heavy objects on the installation while tiling.<br />
