climate zone. Heating panel connection box must not be
covered with insulation material after installation.
Insulation in panel has an R value of 10.
4. Wiring Requirements and Guidelines
Heating panel has two 10" 12 AWG leads for connecting
to standard #12 power supply with wire-nut inside
attached connection box. See appropriate wiring
diagrams for details (Figure 3 below).
!
WARNING: To avoid the risk of electrical shock,
personal injury or death, disconnect all electrical
power before installing or performing maintenance
on this panel.
The wiring, installation, and electrical hookup of this panel
must conform to local and national codes. The use of GFCI
circuits in high moisture areas is recommended. Total
wattage of heating panels per circuit must not exceed 80% of
circuit capacity.
5. Thermostats
!
Be sure electricity is turned off at main switch before wiring to prevent possible injury from electric shock.
1.
Cut appropriately sized hole for panel connection box and insure clearance from insulating material.
2.
Attach connection box to back of panel using provided hardware.
3.
Attach power supply leads to the panel leads in connection box.
4.
Position on ceiling in desired mounting location.
5.
Attach panel to ceiling using provided mounting toggle bolts and washers or alternatively screws for wood ceilings
6.

SURFACE MOUNTING INSTALLATION
Figure 1 – Surface Mounting

Panels should be installed in conjunction with a line
voltage or 24V thermostat. Measure voltage and branch
circuit amperage to determine wattage and panel circuit
load. The thermostat should be located in the same
room on a side wall and not directly under the ceiling
panel.
6. Surface Mounting Guidelines
Panels may be mounted to joists, wood, or other
penetrable surfaces using appropriate hardware.
Included in our installation kit are toggle bolts to attach
the panels to standard drywall ceilings. Alternatively, the
mounting holes are designed to accommodate #8 – 2"
pan head screws. Joint between panel and mounting
surface should be sealed with heat resistant (rated to a
minimum of 100C) caulking for maximum performance.
Surface of panel may be painted with a quality water
based flat paint to customize appearances. (See Figure 1
below)
!
WARNING: DO NOT puncture panel with screws,
nails, or any other device. Panel must be mounted
only through the provided mounting holes.
