Hi Aaron,
Not sure if that's an insult or compliment:lol:
The mat is layed on the floor but not installed yet. Problem was that when we opened the packaging we found that the mat had already been cut so obvioulsy used before. I just wanted to test it before putting the SLC over the top.
Heating mats designed to go under tiles must NEVER be powered up when not installed in flex adhesive or SLC, the mat may burn out very quickly.
I ordered a Deviguard last week, but its not arrived yet, so wondered if I could plug it in just to test quickly.
I don't think a deviguard will tell you if the mat is good before install, it will advise if the mat is damaged during install. One of our installation monitors does the same job, if not a little betterUnderfloor Heating | Installation | Uheat
You will still need a multimeter to check resistance
Paul.
PS, customer bought the DEVI even though I suggested the UHeat mats....
Make sure you bill them for the extra hassle, wouldn't have happened if they'd bought uheat
