What else is needed in order to wire this mat to the power source? The supplied sensor wire goes to the thermostat correct?

1/2 inch conduit and an appropriate box (a dual gang box recommended) to run the power lead from the mat (floor) to the thermostat location.

First of all you don't have to activate this sensors. Wires from thermostat should have connection to this sensors. You connect the sensors first and then thermostat.Hope this helps. Let me know if you have question.

The outdoor sensor that gives you the reading of outdoor temperature & humidity first off should be mounted on the north side of your home so that it will be exposed to as little sunlight as possible for accuracy. As for the question as to how it is powered, the outdoor sensor does not use batteries so it isn't wireless. The wall control unit gets its power supply from an 18-5 (18 gauge, 5 conductor thermostat wire that ties into your steam humidifier unit from the wall control unit) Your outdoor sensor has to have a separate wire that goes from it using a 18-2 (18 gauge, 2 conductor thermostat wire) and this wire gets directly connected to the indoor wall controller as well. There is also a need for a second 18-5 wire that connects from your steam humidifier and splices into the wiring for your finance. Your furnace should already have an existing 18-5 wire that runs from the furnace to your regular thermostat controller. I hope this helps and is not too confusing. Just remember you can always call an HVAC company to help with this issue although it won't be cheap.

It needs the C-wire. In my case the A/C unit had the connection and I could use the existing wire as a pull string to run the new one. I bought this unit specifically because of it's width. The battery powered units I could find would not fit between the two door jams where my old thermastat was.

Your SST controller uses a 24 volt plug in transformer which is where you will get your power. I don't have any experience with that particular controller, but from the installation manual, it looks like you will actually need to splice into the power cord before it connects to your controller. Be sure to unplug it before you begin your installation, then follow the instruction on page 3 of the WR2 rain sensor manual.

I use the "Hydrofarm MTPRTC Digital Thermostat For Heat Mats". Works pretty well but a bit pricey, here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NZZG3S/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yeah. You have to purchase the thermostatic cable :HeatTrak HR-Therm3550 Thermostat Extension Cable for Snow Melting Mats, 10-Inch

The answer is a qualified yes. All of the wireless accessories require an additional power wire to be connected to the thermostat. They call it the common wire I think it is 24VDC. Traditional thermostats will not have this wire. When I did the install, there was cable running between my furnace and my thermostat that had 2 unused wires. I was able to connect the blue one to the one of the connectors on my furnace and then the wireless accessories worked.

You will need an electrician to install. In most states it will need to be inspected as well. The mat is laid on the sub floor. The metal braided whip from the mat is run into a conduit where it is then connected to a thermostat. The electrician then needs to run a designated 110 20 amp circuit line into the junction box to tie the whip, thermostat and power together.

If you want to use the automatic setting, you'll need to run wires for the outside temperature sensor. Most of the rest of the wires should be pretty similar though.

i would say yes, but only with well thought attention to detail in likely custom sensor install and set up, also needs a 12vdc power source, and that i imagine is the make or break alteration to your machine that may have you examining other options as well.

There is a supplied cigarette lighter power cord for the head unit and the sensors require a 12 volt power supply and a connection to the reverse light wiring. Thanks, Jerry

Included is the wiring for this. You need to connect to a positive, battery terminal, and a ground.

The wire from the mat is fairly short from what I can remember - been several months since I installed. Floor sensor wire had plenty of length to it.

I have heat tape. It works great. It fluctuates a few degrees ether way. It heats up then once the sensor registers the cut off point it cuts power to the mat. Then when it has cooled a few degrees below the set temp it turns back on. It is an all or nothing thing. It does not regulate the current to keep a steady temp.

These mats do NOT daisy chain together, so each one needs a plug. How many you can run off of one thermostat depends on the max wattage on your thermostat. Each mat runs on 105 watts.So if the max wattage of your thermostat is 300 you would need 2 thermostats to run 4 of these mats

You have to plug it into an electrical outlet for the heated mat to work. The housing is separate from the heated mat
