Electrical Information
All electrical work must be carried out by a certied electrician. All work must
conrm to current IEE wiring regulations - BS 7671:2008. A certied electrician
must sign o the nal installation.
Installing an RCD
The electrician must install a dedicated 30mA RCD. A combination“double pole
fused switch/spur must incorparated in order to isolate the system.
Ensure that all earth connections from the heating panel are connected to the
protective conductor of the supply circuit.
Electrical accessories needed
• Electrical Back Box - A 35mm back box may be used for the all Warmup
thermostats.
• Junction Box - If installing more than two heaters a junction box will be required.
• Conduit or plastic trunking- The wiring to the thermostat should be chased into
the wall protected by conduit or plastic trunking.
Connecting the thermostat
The Warmup wall panels must be controlled via a thermostat using an external
temperature sensor at all times to ensure that the maximum temperature of 40°C
is not exceeded. The thermostat must be connected to the mains electrical sup-
ply via a double pole isolator fused spur or RCD that has a contact separation in all
poles providing full disconnection under over-voltage category III conditions .The
thermostat is IP20 rated and must be located outside of Zone 2 in wet areas.
If oor heating is also installed the system must be controlled via a separate
thermostat and temperature sensor.
Temperature Sensor Location
The thermostat must always be operated
using the 3m external temperature sensor
supplied with the Warmup Thermostat. The
sensor must be placed centre of two of the
heating element runs of the heating panel.
The sensor must not cross over or touch any
of the heating wires. When connecting to the
thermostat ensure that the wire is installed in
a separate conduit to the heating panel cold
lead to avoid any electrical interference.

Test the wall heating panel(s)
You must test the heater before, during and after installation to ensure that the
panels have not been damaged during the installation.
Using a multi-meter test the resistance of each individual heating panel.
Set the multi-meter at 200 ohms setting for larger panels and a 2k ohms setting for
the smaller mats. Test across the Live and Neutral.
At 20°C between live and Neutral the heater should read
A +/- 5% Ohm reading tolerance is allowed under manufacturing guidelines.
A insulation resistance test must also be carried out on the heating panel. Carry out
the test across the conductors and Earth at 1000V.
Record the ohms reading and the insulation resistance test results on the control
card included in this instruction manual.
If the heater fails the insulation resistance test , the ohms reading is open circuit or
above/below the allowed tolerance DO NOT TILE contact the technical helpline on
0845 345 2288.
All test results must be recorded on the control card at the back of the manual.
NOTE: DO NOT WIRE THE HEATING ELEMENT TO THE MAINS WHILE THE HEATING PANEL
IS STILL ROLLED UP.

Location of the heating panels
When installing the Warmup wall heating panel it is important that the installation
is design and installed carefully to avoid any harmful inuence between the heating
system and other electrical and non electrical installations.
When installing the heating element near
other electrical installations it is important to
that the heating element does not aect the
electrical installation such as reducing the
current carrying capacity of cables from other
circuits due to the high ambient temperature
caused by the heating system. In order to
avoid this leave a perimeter of 200mm around
the edge of the wall.
In order to prevent the heating element from causing high temperatures to
adjacent materials always ensure that the heating panel is at least 10mm from
ignitable structures.
Heat Free Zones
When designing the areas to be covered it is important that heat free zones are
allocated for areas where drilling or xings may occur.
Thermal Blocking
Do not x items to the wall over the heated areas that may block the heat . Fittings
may only be installed into the non heated areas.
Draw a plan
In order for your installation to run as smoothly as possible and to ensure that
the location of the heating panels can clearly be identied at a later date, a plan
showing exact locations with measurements MUST be drawn.
This MUST be kept along with the heater information, test records, operating guides
and any other relevant documentation required, at or near the consumer unit.

Important Installation Points
ALWAYS plan the installation and complete the relevant documentation provided
in this instruction manual. It is important that this is placed near or at the consumer
unit so that the end user has all the information needed for the Wall Panel Heating
system.
ALWAYS ensure that all electrical work, testing and diagrams of the installation
have been signed o by a certied electrician .
ALWAYS test the heating panel before, during and after the nal installation. This is
very important during the tiling stage and after any xings have been made to the
wall.
ALWAYS take care during installation not to damage the heating wire.
ALWAYS installed the heating panel at least 50mm from conductive parts of the
building.
ALWAYS ensure that a heat loss calculation have been carried out and all heating
requirements have been met if the system is to be used as a primary source of heat.
ALWAYS advise other trades of the location of the heating panels before the
commence any work to avoid damage to the heating panel. They should be made
aware of all the heated and unheated zones. Placing temporary warning labels
within the heated areas will reduce the risk of damage.
ALWAYS leave a perimeter of 200mm around the edge wall. This will reduce the risk
of the heating panel sitting above other electrical circuits located behind the wall.
ALWAYS x the heating panels to cementitous non ammable materials or to a
board t for purpose such as a Tile backer board with a euroclass“E”rating.

DO NOT cut or shorten the Wall Heating panel at any time.
DO NOT allow the heating panel to cross expansion joints of the building or
structure.
DO NOT alter the spacing of the mat at anytime.
DO NOT allow the wall heating panels to exceed a maximum of 40°C. This is
achieved by installing a Warmup Thermostats with temperature sensor.
DO NOT connect the heaters in series, the heating panels must be connected in
parallel.
DO NOT allow the heating element wire to touch or cross at any point.
DO NOT install this product behind any other material other than ceramic or
natural stone tiles.
DO NOT extend heating panels beyond one wall surface, always use separate
panels for each wall.
DO NOT leave any of the wire exposed. The heating panel must be completely
embedded in exible tile adhesive, including the cold lead and end termination
joints. Failure to follow this instruction can cause the heating element to overheat.
DO NOT cover the heating panel manufactured joints with tape, you may if
necessary tab tape the joint to hold it in place before embedding in exible tile
adhesive.
DO NOT cover the wall heating panel until it has been inspected ,and thoughly
tested by a certied electrician. All measurements and results must be logged on
the control card found at the end of this instruction manual.
DO NOT switch on the heating panel until all adhesive and grouts have been
allowed to dry as per the manufactures instructions.
DO NOT attempt to carry out any DIY repairs on this product, if you damage the
heater during installation contact Warmup Technical Support on 0845 345 2288.

Wall preparation
When tiling a wall it is important that the you ensure that the design, construction
and preparation of the surface is carried out correctly.
The Warmup heating panel must be installed onto a material suitable for use with
the heating system. A 6mm tile backer board with a re rating Euro class E or
higher may be used. Ensure when boards are used that they are xed to the wall as
per the manufactures instruction.
Modifying the Heating panels
Getting Started
Important protective measures
Sucient Protective measures must be used to ensure that both the cold lead and
connection joint are protected.
The cold lead and joint must:
1. Be at least 50mm from the surface with the joint fully encased within a exible
adhesive, or
2. Be provided with mechanical protection sucient to prevent penetration by
nails, screws and the like, or
3. Be installed either horizontally within 150mm of the top of the wall or
partition or vertically within 150mm of the angle formed by two walls, or run
horizontally or vertically to an accessory or consumer unit.
4. Be covered by a suitable conductive covering for example a grid with a spacing
of not more than 3mm, this should be provided as an exposed conductive part
and connected to the protective conductor of the electrical installation.
Note: The heating panels must always be protected by a 30mA RCD.
