FAQ
Why do we need to take Ohm readings?
We perform Ohm tests to ensure there are no breaks or shorts that could
impact the system’s performance.
When should Ohm readings be taken?
We recommend taking Ohm readings before, during, and after installation,
recording them for future reference.
What should I do if my Ohm reading is outside the variance?
If your reading is outside the +/-15% variance, contact a WarmlyYours
representative at 800-875-5285 for
assistance.
You will need
Before begining, verify circuit breaker is off and verify no power is present at the thermostat Supply Line.
Ohm Readings
- Why? We do a quick and simple Ohms test to make sure no breaks or shorts have occurred that could affect the system’s performance.
- When? We advise that Ohm readings be taken before, during, and after installation and that these are recorded for future reference.
- How? By following the five simple steps indicated, to complete the (3) three different readings that are required.
INSTALLATION INSSTRUCTION
Step 1 – Setting the Ohm Meter
Step 2 – Taking the Readings
When taking the readings please ensure the following:
- Your fingers are not touching any wires
- The probes are firmly attached to the selected wires
- There is no power in the circuit
- The heating system is rolled out flat
- The wires are not connected to the thermostat
Step 3 – Core to Core Ohms Reading
Connect the probes to both inner wires and record the reading off the Ohm meter. This is the reading between the two inner conductors of the lead wires.
- VALUE:
Step 4 – Ground to Core Ohms Reading
Connect the probes to both the Core wire and the Ground wire at the START of the lead. Take the reading then repeat the reading at the other core wire.
- VALUE
Step 5 – Ground to Core Ohms Reading
Connect the probes to both the Core wire and the Ground wire at the START of the lead.

IMPORTANT!
It is very important that for both CORE to GROUND readings you get “NO
READING” – defined by a ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘OL’ or ‘∞’. IF NOT you may have a short and
should call for technical assistance at
