Warmup Underfloor Heating Floor Probe

The Warmup Underfloor Heating Floor Probe is a vital component for precise temperature sensing and control in your underfloor heating system. Designed for use with the 6IE, 4IE, 3IE, and Tempo thermostats, this floor probe ensures accurate and efficient regulation of floor heating to create a comfortable living environment.

Key Features and Installation Guidelines

• Proper Placement: For optimal performance, the Warmup Floor Probe should be securely taped to the floor, equidistant between two runs of the heating elements. It is recommended to position the probe at least 300mm away from the outside edge of the heater to ensure accurate temperature measurement.
• Secure Wiring: The wire leading from the floor probe to the thermostat should also be taped to the floor, keeping it neat and secure. This prevents any accidental damage or interference with the heating system.
• Compatible Thermostats: The Warmup Floor Probe is fully compatible with the 6IE, 4IE, 3IE, and Tempo thermostats, allowing for seamless integration and precise temperature control. Connect the floor probe to the corresponding terminals on the thermostat as instructed in the thermostat's installation manual.

Experience precise and efficient temperature control with the Warmup Floor Probe. By accurately measuring the floor temperature, this floor probe ensures optimal comfort and energy efficiency in conjunction with the compatible 6IE, 4IE, 3IE, and Tempo thermostats. Enjoy the benefits of a cozy and well-regulated underfloor heating system in your home or commercial space.

Specifications

High-Quality Construction

• 
  ProWarm Electric Underfloor Heating Sticky Mat: Utilizes the same premium cable as the ProWarm Loose Cable kit. The mat incorporates a sticky fibreglass mesh to ensure optimal heat output by maintaining proper cable spacing. Installation is straightforward—simply roll out the mat to cover the desired heating area.
• 
  Heating Cable: Series-type with twin conductors and a 4m cold lead at one end.
• 
  Cable Composition: The resistance heating wire is encased in a fluoropolymer insulation layer, wrapped in protective metal shielding, and enclosed in a final plastic outer sheath. The twin conductor cable has a final diameter of 2mm.
• 
  Junction Design: Unique design for hot and cold lead junctions ensures they are 100% foolproof.

Installation

Please Note: This is a brief guide. Always refer to the full installation manual for comprehensive instructions.

1. Plan Your Layout:

• Divide the floor into a series of rectangles. Use these measurements to calculate the number and sizes of mats needed, excluding permanent or static fixtures from your calculations.

2. Prepare the Subfloor:

• For screed over concrete floors, lay insulation boards to minimize heat loss and ensure quicker warm-up times.

3. Lay the Heating Mat:

• Start with the first run of the mat. Cut the mat (leaving the cable intact) at the end of each run, turn it 90° or 180°, and continue laying.
• Once the area is covered, adjust the mat so that the loops are evenly spaced.
• Secure the mat to the subfloor using the special tape provided.

4. Electrical Connections:

• Install an RCD fused spur to power the thermostatic controller/programmer and the mat system.
• Lay the temperature probe from the timer-thermostat onto the floor, position it equidistant between two cable loops, and secure it to the surface.
• Position the unheated power supply cable from the end of the mat system near the thermostat.
• Make all necessary connections to the power supply. Run the heaters for no more than 10 minutes to ensure they are heating up properly.

5. Finish the Flooring:

• Option 1: Apply a thin, self-levelling screed over the mat and allow it to dry completely before laying tiles.
• Option 2: Directly trowel flexible tile adhesive over the mat and lay the floor tiles.
• After grouting, let the tile adhesive cure fully before switching on the system.
