👉Test #1 Conductor resistance test.  Set your ohm reader to 200k and connect to each wire lead on heated cable. Ohm reading should be within 10% of factory setting (label on end of wire should have this indicated).
👉Test #2 Conductor to ground test. Set your ohm reader to the "buzz sound" indicator and connect to ground braid and to each cable lead. If there is a buzz sound, something is wrong. Contact manufacturer of this problem for a replacement wire.
👉Test #3 Floor temperature sensor test.  Set ohm reader to 20k and get a room temperature reading. Compare readings with warranty form that comes with the cables.

Perform these tests at the following times:
1. On the roll when you first get the wires
2. After you set wires throughout room
3. After tile is installed
