In order to properly mount your 4iE thermostat, you will need a back-box as well as a mud-ring. Warmup can recommend compatible items.
Installation
Always make sure to encapsulate the factory joint in thin-set or floor leveler. It must never be inside the wall. Not doing this will result in irreparable damage to your floor heating system. Chisel out a channel deep enough in your subfloor to accommodate the thickness of the joint.

The Warmup DCM-PRO or StickyMat system may be used under carpet tiles as long as it is embedded in latex based modified polymer self-leveling compound prior to the installation of the carpet tiles.
So either the installer puts a DIN rail on the wall or cabinet, or they can utilize the four mounting holes in the corners of the housing and screw it to a surface.
The thermostat should be installed inside a square 4”x4” back box with a single mud ring mounted horizontally (also called plaster ring).
The proper distance to space the mats should be 5 feet on center or 3ft between mats. Please refer to the installation manual for more details regarding your snowmelt installation.
The maximum length Warmup recommends you can extend your snowmelt systems lead is 90′.
The megger is used as a quality control measure to test the insulation resistance to detect any fault in the heater cable jacket. Such leaks cannot be spotted with a regular ohmmeter and help spot any damage to the cable and cable jacket.
