WARNING: Shock and Fire Hazard.
If the QuickNet mat is damaged or not installed
properly, fire or shock could occur resulting in
serious personal injuries or damage to property. You
must carefully follow the warnings and instructions
contained in these instructions and the QuickNet
Installation Manual (H57704). Contact Tyco Thermal
Controls for assistance.
• The QuickStat thermostat must be used. It has a
ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) to prevent
electric shock.
• The QuickNet-RK repair kit must be installed
by qualified personnel familiar with generally
accepted construction techniques and safe electrical
practices. The installation must comply with all
national and local electrical codes. If you are
unfamiliar with these requirements, contact a
licensed electrician.
• Electric wiring and the heating mat are installed
in the floor. Be sure that the floor is not penetrated
by nails, screws, or similar devices that can cause
damage on first installation or during subsequent
floor repairs in the future.
• Do not use this Repair Kit to splice different QuickNet
mats together. It is designed only to repair a damaged
section of heating cable in a single mat.
• The QuickNet heating cable cannot be cut to length,
crossed over itself, or installed closer than the
spacing in the mat.
• QuickNet mats can only be installed beneath ceramic
tile or natural stone surfaces. Do not install beneath
wooden, carpeted, linoleum, or other type floors.
• Do not step directly on or damage the heating cable
during installation.
• Do not install the QuickNet mat across expansion
joints.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing
tiles, scratch coat, thin-set mortar, or quick drying
mortar beds.
• Do not allow heating cable, cold lead, or floor
temperature sensor to cross over themselves or
each other.

The QuickNet-RK Repair Kit is for making minor repairs
to the QuickNet heating cable if it is damaged during or
after installation. Because the condition of the damaged
mat, site conditions and installer capability can vary,
Tyco Thermal Controls does not warrant the repair or
warrant that the repaired floor warming system will
function properly. Use of this kit voids the warranty
of the repaired portion of the heating cable. Repairs
should only be attempted by a qualified electrician or
experienced craftsmen familiar with good electrical
practice and techniques for tile installation and removal.
