Measure and mark your back box and conduits in the
required position.
The cold tail is 3m in length. It needs to reach from your
back box, down through your conduit and along to your
heating cable start position (extension available).
It is important to position your sensor between two runs
of heating cable. A channel must be chased into the
insulation or substrate to house the sensor condiut. Do
not position the sensor conduit near any temperature
inuence or where furniture and rugs might be placed
over the sensor.
Fit an extra deep single gang back box at the desired
level. Chase from the back box to the oor level,
allowing for the conduit.
Power for the thermostat should come from an RCD
protected fused spur.
Sensor conduit: Install a conduit for the sensor probe
(laid centrally between two runs of heating cable).
Cold tail conduit: Install another conduit for the cold tail
(black cable) of the heating system.
To ensure an accurate reading, position the oor sensor
between 2 runs of heating cable. Away from any other
temperature. ThermoSphere recommend using 2 sensor
probes.
