Important Safeguards and Warnings
WARNING: Shock and fire hazard
If the QuickNet mat is damaged or not installed properly, fire
or shock could occur resulting in serious personal injuries
or damage to property. You must carefully follow the warn-
ings and instructions contained in this manual. Contact Tyco
Thermal Controls for assistance.
The QuickStat thermostat must be used. For 120 V
systems, the QuickStat thermostat provides ground-fault
protection to prevent electric shock. For 208 V or 240 V
systems, a separate GFCI must be used.
The QuickNet system must be installed by qualified
personnel familiar with generally accepted construction
techniques and safe electrical practices. The installation
must comply with all national and local electrical codes.
If you are unfamiliar with these requirements, contact a
licensed electrician.
Electric wiring and the heating mat are installed in the floor.
Be sure that the floor is not penetrated by nails, screws, or
similar devices that can cause damage on first installation
or during subsequent floor repairs in the future.
If the QuickNet system is damaged, it must be replaced. Do
not attempt to splice or repair any part of the system.
The QuickNet heating cable cannot be cut to length,
crossed over itself, or installed closer than the spacing in
the mat.
IMPORTANT: Installation Guidelines
QuickNet mats can only be installed beneath ceramic tile
or natural stone surfaces. Do not install beneath wooden,
carpeted, linoleum, or other type floors.
Do not cut, damage or step directly on the heating cable
during installation.
Do not install the QuickNet mat across expansion joints.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installing tiles,
scratch coat, thin-set mortar, or quick drying mortar beds.
Locate the splice connection between the heating cable and
the power cable in the mortar. Do not install it in conduit.
Handle with care and do not bend or pull on the joint.
Be sure the sub floor is clean, rigid, flat, level and free of
cracks.
Position the temperature sensor immediately under the tile
or stone surface and in the middle of the space between
the heating cable run.
Do not allow heating cable, cold lead, or floor temperature
sensor to cross over themselves or each other.
