8.2 Troubleshooting

8.2.1 Locating a Fault in the TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable (Twin)

Use a Circuit Check™ or PowerMan™ device during cable installation. These devices will provide an audible alarm if the

wire is damaged or cut during installation. A continuity checker is not acceptable for these tests.

Beware of Using a Continuity Checker!

With cables that have over 200 Ω resistance, some continuity checkers do not send enough current to get completely

through the wire and emit the noise or light that affirms proper continuity. For this reason, we always recommend using a

digital ohmmeter or PowerMan™ for any product testing or troubleshooting.
After the installation, if necessary, the position of a break can be found with the WarmlyYours Troubleshooting Kit. A time

domain reflectometer (ShortStop) will not be able to find a break without an installation plan. Repair kits and guidance

are available from WarmlyYours 24/7 Technical Support at (800) 875-5285, or go to www.WarmlyYours.com/support for

additional information.
