Note: A continuous continuity check should be conducted on the Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating Element
and all electrically conductive material prior to and during the pouring of concrete, installation of floor coverings, and immediately prior to energizing all Floorizwarm products. The circuit should always be open.
Always complete a Heatizon systems “After Installation Element Test Form” (see forms in the back of this
manual) immediately following the installation of the Floorizwarm Heating Element, immediately prior to
covering the Floorizwarm Heating Element, and again just prior to energizing your Floorizwarm Power Unit.
Note: In order to minimize the risk of damage to the
Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating Element, Heatizon
Systems recommends that the Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating Element be installed immediately prior
to the installation of the thinset concrete, mortar or
other cementitious material that goes over it.
Note: The Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating
Element comes in pre-established lengths
that have been designed to deliver a specified heat density. Therefore, it is essential
that all of the Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating
Element contained in your kit be installed.
Begin by designing the layout of
the Floorizwarm Heating Element.
The design and installation of the
Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating
Element will be easier if you:
Purchase the correct Floorizwarm
product with the proper amount of
Floorizwarm Heating Element for
your project.
Plan the layout of the Floorizwarm
Heating Element before you begin
the actual installation
Begin and end the Floorizwarm
Heating Element in the same area,
adjacent to the location you have
selected for the Floorizwarm Power
Unit.
Run the Floorizwarm Heating
Element in evenly spaced runs
parallel to each other.
SAMPLE FLOORIZWARM TUFF CABLE HEATING ELEMENT LAYOUT
Note: When installing Heatizon Systems products, strict compliance with the National Electrical Code,
local Building Codes, and Heatizon Floorizwarm Installation Manual is essential.
Warning: Never cross the Floorizwarm Heating Element over itself, the in-floor sensor wire , or any
other conductive material or wire.
1-3
FLOORIZWARM TUFF CABLE HEATING ELEMENT INSTALLATION:
 Make sure you have verified that you have purchased the correct
Floorizwarm System to heat the area you have
selected and that you have determined the correct
spacing for the area you are heating, the Watts
you need the system to deliver, and the size of
system you purchased (see “Verify Proper
Floorizwarm System Sizing”).
 Plan room layout using tape measure, marking
pencil, and chalk line. Lay out perimeter of area
to be heated first, keeping a minimum of 3 inches from walls and or cabinets and the first run of element. Once the layout is complete, roll out the
Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating Element, making sure that both ends of
the heating element (where the Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating Element
is pre-connected to the Cold Lead segment) are within 20 vertical and
horizontal feet of the Power Unit location to accommodate Cold Lead
length.
 Tie off one Cold Lead at the location where the Floorizwarm Power Unit
will be located Continue by laying out Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating
Element on the predetermined layout, and fasten with plastic clips as described below for your floor surface.
Note: All of the Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating Element and the
connection between the Tuff Cable and Cold Lead must be surrounded by cementitious material.
 Anchor the Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating Element using the Plastic
Clips and nails provided in the Floorizwarm Hardware Kit to hold
Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating Element to wood subfloors. Never use
any attachment that will compromise the Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating
Element or its insulation in any way. Each 90E bend and each 180E turn
requires two Heatizon Plastic Clips. Heatizon Plastic Clips should be
spaced approximately every 24 inches along the length of the heating
element. Heatizon Plastic Clips can be inserted around Floorizwarm Tuff
Cable Heating Element, and secured to sub floor by hammering nail
through anchor ends until both plastic tails are flat against sub floor surface. Repeat with each Heatizon Plastic Clip until all clips are secure.
 If Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating Element is being installed directly on
existing concrete, a Heatizon Anchoring Plug Kit may be purchased. Use
a 1/4" cement drill bit to drill holes 1" deep in every location where a
Heatizon Plastic Clip will be located. Install one Tuff Cable Anchoring
Plug into each pre-drilled hole by tapping plugs until they are flush with
the surface of the concrete. Tuff Cable Anchoring Plugs should fit tightly
in pre-drilled holes. Insert Heatizon Plastic Clips around Tuff Cable element and secure by hammering nail through anchor ends directly into Tuff
Cable plug, until both plastic tails of the clip are flat against the concrete
and plug. Repeat with each Heatizon Plastic Clip until all clips are secure.
 Continue laying out and anchoring Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating Element until complete. Make certain both ends of Cold Lead attached to
the Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating Element return to the Power Unit location. When all of the Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating Element has
been installed and secured, run the second Cold Lead parallel to the first
Cold Lead back to the Power Unit, and secure both Cold Leads to the
stud nearest the chosen location for the Power Unit.
 Conduct the first After Element Installation Test at this time.
1-4
Warning: Never cut or otherwise attempt to
alter the length of the Floorizwarm Tuff Cable
Heating Element. Always inspect the Cold
Leads and the Floorizwarm Heating Element
just prior to embedding in the light-weight concrete or mortar material. In the event the
Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating Element gets
cut, nicked, or otherwise damaged it must be
replaced with new Floorizwarm Heating Element with factory attached Cold Leads from
Heatizon Systems. Do not use Floorizwarm
Tuff Cable Heating Element that has been
altered, cut, nicked or otherwise damaged in
any way.
Note: Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating Element must not be installed in ceilings, closets (floor areas that are or will be covered or
obstructed by shelves, cabinets, clothing,
storage items, bean bags, LoveSacs, etc.)
nor over or in walls or partitions.
Note: Always allow a minimum of 1.5 inches of distance between the runs of Floorizwarm Heating Element..
Minimum, maximum and ideal spacing between Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating Element is determined by the
size of the system purchased.
E. INSTALL THE TEMPERATURE FLOOR SENSOR
Install the floor sensor provided with the thermostat from the single gang box to
the area where the heating element is installed. It is recommend that the floor
sensor probe be installed at the midpoint between two runs of Floorizwarm
Heating Element.
The floor sensor probe portion should be secured using a plastic clip and nail on
the wire just above the floor sensor probe. Run the other end of the wire
through the single gang box located at the chosen thermostat location.
Make sure the floor sensor probe does not come into contact with the
Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating Element.
1-5
E. INSTALL THE FLOORIZWARM POWER UNIT
F. INSTALL THE FLOORIZWARM POWER UNIT BACK PLATE
Note: Make certain power supply is off before proceeding with installation of the Floorizwarm Power
Unit.
The Floorizwarm Power Unit requires an input power of 120
VAC (see table below to calculate breaker requirements). One
AWG #12/2 with ground wire electrical conductor must extend
from the electrical distribution panel to the thermostat, and another AWG #12/2 wire from the thermostat to the Floorizwarm
Power Unit.
Remove the cover screws from the top and bottom of the Power
Unit, remove the cover and set cover aside.
Familiarize yourself with the Transformer and its associated
wires. The two large black wires on top of the Transformer are
labeled #3 and #4. These wires will eventually connect to the
two Cold Leads coming from the Floorizwarm Tuff Cable Heating
Element. The two small black wires at the bottom of the Transformer are labeled #1 and #2, and are used to connect to the hot
and common wires from the thermostat. One of these wires
runs through a fuse at the bottom of the Floorizwarm Power Unit
back plate. The green wire is used to ground electrical connection for the Floorizwarm System.
Install Romex Connectors into two of the pre-drilled holes or
knock outs in the Floorizwarm Power Unit back plate. One of
the upper pre-drilled holes or knock outs will be used for the
Cold Leads, and one of the lower pre-drilled holes or knock outs
for the primary power. Push through the back to the front, and
tighten down the locking nut on the front of back plate.
Using the provided #8 panhead screws, mount the Floorizwarm
Power Unit back plate onto a stud or other adequate surface.
The Power Unit should be mounted using the two designated
holes in the center of the Floorizwarm Power Unit back plate.
Note: The two holes in the upper corners of the back plate may
also be used for mounting if needed.
Run the #12/2 electrical conductor wire through the bottom hole
1-6
E. INSTALL THE FLOORIZWARM POWER UNIT
G. MAKE THE FLOORIZWARM POWER UNIT CONNECTIONS
with Romex Connector. Trim end of #12/2 to needed length,
and strip 4” to 5” of plastic insulation from the protruding end
of the wire. This will expose three wires: a copper ground
wire, a white common line and a black hot line.
Run both Cold Leads through the top hole with Romex Connector. Trim the end of both Cold Leads to needed length

H. INSTALL THE FLOORIZWARM THERMOSTAT
Power the thermostat with a dedicated power supply directly from the electrical distribution panel using
AWG #12-2 electrical conductor with ground wire and a 20 Amp breaker and following the thermostat
manufacturer’s instructions. See the installation Instructions and diagrams that follow, or refer to thermostat packaging for details.
Tips: The back of the thermostat has two sets of black and white wires: One pair (one black and one
white on the same side of the thermostat) for the line voltage (incoming power) and one pair for load
output to Floorizwarm Power Unit). Follow the diagram in the instructions, insuring that the outer black
and white wires will be wired to corresponding black and white wires connecting to the Floorizwarm
Power Unit, and the inner black and white wires will be wired to corresponding black and white wires
connecting the thermostat to the power supply.
The two copper ground wires will be connected using the wire nut (supplied with thermostat), and
tucked inside the thermostat electrical gang box.
Program the thermostat.

Temperature Control
Technical Specifications
Warranty
The TH115 thermostat works differently than conventional
electromechanical thermostats.
It is equipped with a proportional integral adaptive (P.I.A.)
controller which determines heating cycles by analyzing
the temperature behavior history within the room.
The P.I.A. controller reduces temperature variations
providing an accurate temperature control while
increasing user comfort.
The controller determines the amount of power required
by the heating system to maintain the setpoint
temperature.

After Installation Element Test
WARNING: This test will not detect cuts in ZMesh, Tuff Cable,
or Floorizwarm Heating Element.
Attached please find three forms titled AHeatizon Systems After Installation Element Test.@ Heatizon Systems recommends that the measurements be taken and the attached forms be completed on all zones on three different occasions. It is important that the same source be used to energize the ZMesh, Tuff Cable and Floorizwarm Heating Element for all tests taken.
• Element Test #1— should be conducted immediately after the Cold Lead and Z Mesh, Tuff Cable, or Floorizwarm
Heating Element has been installed and before it has been covered up with floor covering, roofing material,
concrete, etc.
• Element Test #2 — is to be conducted following the covering of the heating element and immediately prior to installing
the Control Unit.
• Element Test #3 — should be conducted immediately following the energizing of the system but prior to placing it in
service.
All of these tests may be conducted by using either the Control Box and Transformer provided as part of your Heatizon
Systems Product, or by using Heatizon Systems Element Tester (Part Number NI113). It is Heatizon Systems’ recommendation
that each test be completed by the party responsible for the installation and witnessed by a representative of the party which contracted for the installation. It is essential that all of the blanks on each AAfter Installation Element Test@ form be completely filled
out and that the form be signed by both the party completing the test and the party witnessing the test.
Conducting these tests will help insure that a third party or an unknown event has not adversely impacted the heating
element. In addition the results of these tests may help you in any troubleshooting that must be performed on the system(s).
Warning: In the event any of the measurements taken during the three “After Installation Element Tests” are different, a
problem may exist. Do not energize your Heatizon Systems product, and call Heatizon Systems Technical Support at
(801) 293-1232 to discuss the options available.

Connect one of the welding cable leads from the Element Tester to one of the Cold Leads near the point where the Cold
Leads will eventually connect to the transformer. (Note: Cold leads are the #2 wires extending from the heating element
to the transformer).
Connect the other welding cable lead from the Element Tester to the other Cold Lead near the point where the Cold
Leads will eventually connect to the transformer.
Plug the Element Tester power cord into a 120 VAC power source.
Turn the Tester to the AON@ position.
Using an Amp meter, read the amperage (Amps) and Voltage (Volts) and record them on the form titled AHeatizon
Systems After Installation Element Test.@ The voltage is to be read at the connection of one of the Cold Leads and the
welding cable lead from the Element Tester. Amperage can be read anywhere along either Cold Lead.
Read and record the temperature of the area where the heating element is located.
Using the numbers recorded on the form titled “Heatizon Systems After Installation Element Test” and the form titled
“Calculation of Element Length,” the length of the heating element can be calculated or verified.
Note: When using the Control Box and Transformer provided as part of your Heatizon product to conduct the
“Heatizon Systems After Installation Element Tests,” the entire product must be installed per this manual. Once installation is complete, conduct three Element Tests by following steps 4 through 6 above.
Note: When hardwood or tile floor coverings are placed over ZMesh, the current may increase when the folds are
compressed. As a result of this compression, the effective length of ZMesh can decrease as much as one foot per
fold.
Note: For Tuff Cable snow melt applications, the temperature will change the current in the element. For example, the
current will increase approximately 14% as the temperature drops from 80°F to 0°F.

The Heatizon Family of Products
Roof De-icing—Non Metal Roofing
ZMesh Heating Element is easily installed
under most non-metallic roof coverings,
including asphalt, shake, or tile shingles to
provide “invisible” eave and valley ice melting
and prevention of snow build up and ice
Roof De-icing—Metal Roofing
Tuff Cable Heating Element is installed
in a Patented Heatizon Heatsink Kit or
Heatizon Invizimelt Kit when metal
roofing materials are used.
Floor Warming/Space Heating
ZMesh Heating Element is installed
on a wood or concrete subfloor under
carpet, laminate flooring, hardwood,
or tile. Two or more smaller rooms
can easily be “jumpered” together to
heat multiple areas with one system.
Roof and Gutter Deicing
Heatizon GutterMelt is installed on top of
roofing material on eaves, and in rain gutters, drains and downspouts to control ice
dams and maintain drainage paths.
Snow Melting—New Pour
Tuff Cable or Hott-Wire Heating
Element is installed in concrete,
asphalt, or under pavers for safe and
convenient snow melting solutions.
Snow Melting—Retrofit
Tuff Cable or Hott-Wire Heating
Element is installed in saw cuts
in existing concrete or asphalt;
cuts are then filled with sealant.
Floor Warming/Total Space Heating
Tuff Cable or Cozy Heat is installed in
concrete of basement (or on a concrete or wood subfloor embedded in a
cementitious material) directly under
carpet, tile, hardwood, and laminate
floorings.
Snow Melting—Stairs & Sidewalks
Tuff Cable or Hott-Wire Heating
Element is installed in sidewalks and
stairs, access ramp, in/under
concrete, asphalt, or under pavers.

The Control Unit (Low Voltage Only)
The Heatizon Control Unit is the
“brains” of the system, and houses the
necessary electrical components to
provide low voltage electricity to the
heating elements. Because
the largest Control Unit is only
17” x 12” x 9”, it can be mounted
easily on a garage, utility room
or mechanical room wall.
