Floor Probe Installation Instructions


The thermostats come with a 9’ sensor cable to detect the temperature under the floor finish. The end of the probe wire contains a capped sensor that should be evenly centered between two heating cables at least 12” into the heated area. At no time should the probe wire cross the heating cable.

Will the Electric Floor Heating System Work Without the Floor Sensor Probe?


While you can operate your floor heating system without the floor sensor probe it is better to have it installed.  Click “Read More” for detailed information.

Why does my heater have a ground wire but the thermostat has no terminal for ground?


The ground wire of the heater(s) must be directly connected to the ground wire of the supply.

What is the EMF level of Warmup cables?


Our cable was tested and measured 0.5 mG at 1/2” (a typical distance between the cable and your feet). This measures at 1/200th of the acceptable value of 100 mG as established by the WHO and Intertek/ETL. It therefore complies with EN50366.

What if my thermostat screen is black and won’t turn on?


If your thermostat has no display and will not turn on when power button is pushed, the thermostat could be wired incorrectly. Click here for more details.

What gauge wire should be used for the SIT-6E?


12 AWG or 18 AWG should be used depending on the distance from the controller. Click “Read More” for details.

What are the electrical requirements for my Warmup system?


Please verify that the circuit can handle the amount of amperage your heating system requires. Your thermostat can only handle up to 15 amps so if you are connecting multiple heaters to one thermostat location, you may need to use a relay and a larger breaker. Your or your electrician can find out the amperage rating of your specific floor heating system in installation manual or printed on the box. Note: Just because the Warmup thermostats are dual voltage, this does not mean you can supply any voltage to your heating system. You must supply the voltage supplied to the voltage of your specific heater.

What are the amperage capabilities of each Box at each voltage?


The amperage capacity of the Resibox is 120A and for the Commbox it is 230 Amps. The Resibox has (4) of the 30A/2-pole contactors rated 120-277V for a total of maximum 120A load capacity. Click “Read More” for details.
