Important: Tools and materials required
The following items may be required to install and test the floor heating system:
| Scissors | Tape measure | Wire strippers |
| Screwdriver | Tin snips | Utility knife |
| Plastic Cable Clips or Strapping | Hot glue gun | Multimeter |
Before Laying the Heatwave® Mat or Cable
Note: Measure the resistance between each conductor and the shielding/ground wire. Both should read infinity. Always complete a Heatizon Systems “Resistance in OHMS Form” (see form in the back of this manual) out of the box, immediately following the installation of the Heatwave® Heating Cable/Mat, immediately prior to covering the Heatwave® Heating Cable/Mat, and again just prior to energizing the Heatwave® Heating Cable/Mat.
