Can the 120v mat be joined to another mat and hook into one thermostat and GFCI breaker?

It depends on the the watts output terminals on the thermostat but if you size the GFI breaker you should be fine. just take your watts times your voltage times 100 and that will give you your breaker over load size.

Yes it can, but u need an electrician who knows the voltage maximum. Id recommend getting larger mat for ur area. U need to designate an outlet for the mat and each thermostat

I haven't done it myself and I'm not an electrician, but it looked very possible. From memory the instructions showed how to connect an additional mat. As far as a 110V GFCI I believe you can feed up to three different outlets, so 2-3 mats shouldn't be too much of a load. I hope this is helpful too you.

Hi,No you can not because the GFCI receptacles will trip. You could wire the PST-2000-12A to your circuit panel using the hardwire terminal block on the inverter.Joe

Yes, if you plug the 2 heating devices into a power strip and plug the power strip into the Digital Thermostat's AC output it will work just fine. I would watch how many you use this way, the Thermostat has a limit on the amount of power it will handle. (amps / amperage) (or it may be listed in watts) Just add up the total power the mats use and ensure it is less than the rated maximum for the thermostat. I successfully use it with 2 heating pads this way and I even moved the thermostat from one set of plants to another to check that they are even, and there has been no difference.

This does not include GFCI. A GFCI version exists or you can add a GFCI on the circuit before this thermostat.

No. You can add a GFCI outlet in front of the circuit to provide protection to the thermostat. Read the GFCI outlet wiring instructions carefully and when done test it to make sure the power to the thermostat is off.

I don't believe so. You plug this into the wall and your heat source into the thermostat. I believe there can only be one heat source per thermostat. I know herpostats which are more expensive allow you to hook up multiple sources

I don't see how you could. When you add the extension, there is 2 snaps to connect the extension to the main mat. It's my understanding that you would have to buy another main mat to plug in the second extension. Have you checked out all the different sizes? I'm happy with my mats & hope you are too.

Yes you can, because there are 3 wires one for volt, one for amps and common.

No Problem. The system monitors both incoming mains. 120V devices run off one of these, plus the neutral. Their consumption is monitored by the clamp on that main. 240V devices involve both mains, and get monitored by both clamps.

I plugged 2 large mats and 1 step mat into one outlet using extension cords. Although they said not to use extension cords, the mats come with extremely short little cords and you really don't have a choice. I plugged one into the top outlet with the temperature sensor and the other plugged into the bottom of the outlet. It is a regular house current and the breaker is either 15 or 20 amps and never tripped. If you have a unique situation you may need to consult an electrician. The rugs worked great for us, but wished they were a little bigger with longer cords in relationship to the cost.

Yes, but the thermostat does not work with 120v. I had to spent another $90 for thermostat

I don't see why not. I would put them on different time delays for a power failure so they both wouldn't try to call you at the same time. I assume you want two units for temperature monitoring.

I don't believe so. However, I would ask the manufacturer directly. I had some installation issues in respect to the manner in which the wiring had to be connected. The help desk people at Intermatic were extremely helpful. As such I believe that they could answer your question and provide advice on how to achieve what you want to do.

No and no. It's a plug in transformer box with a wire attached and the end of the wire is split to be put into the respective places in the thermostat wiring.

I don't think it would safely As you probably know 220 has 2 "hot" conductors, and both should be switched (double pole switch). Switching only one leg would leave a 120v circuit on between the unswitched leg and the neutral. My 220v Delta Unisaw has a similar switch that is double pole. It could possible be purchased as a replacement part and installed on another machine.

I suggest that you buy another unit then use a two way-plug to power both units. Or, contact the mfg. to see if splicing one into the other won't damage your units.
