Schluter Floor Temperature Sensor

The power heating cable and floor temperature sensor connections are now complete.

Schluter floor temperature sensor.

Floor warming into service. Set the multimeter for resistance at 10k ω 2 at room temperature and take a reading between the sensor leads. Schluter. Both floor temperature sensors are installed within the tile assembly.

Two ditra heat e hk heating cables can be connected and controlled by a single ditra heat e rt thermostat if the total current is less than 15 amps.
