Before You Start
Common questions about choosing and using these guides.
Can I use one guide for every electric system?
No. Heating mats, loose undertile cables and in-screed cables have different layouts, fixing methods and covering requirements. Use the guide for the exact product.
Does the online guide replace the product manual?
No. The online guide explains the sequence, but the current product manual contains the model-specific limits, test values and installation requirements.
When should I contact an electrician?
Agree the circuit, load, RCD protection, thermostat position and test responsibilities before installation starts. Final connection and commissioning must be completed or verified by a suitably qualified electrician.
