Most DIY-kits would expect your electrician to measure this for you when
making the final connections. This kit wants R @ 500V recorded at 3
times during the process.

This is exactly my problem. I can have it measured by the electrician
at the end but I don't want to have him called out to check it twice
before, especially if I can do it myself. That's why I was asking for
your advice.

That's my point - it looks like the TLC kit makes you jump through more
hoops than the others.

Have you actually read the installation manual?

Yes but I wanted reassurance that I had understood it correctly. You
sound as though you have done this before and know what you are
talking about.

Nope, I haven't (though I am about to!) and my advice is worth what you
paid for it.

I only skimmed to the end of the manual, but it certainly looked like
that was what you were supposed to do. Again, this is an advantage of
the Handyheat system - you can phone up and ask if you don't know. I
suspect the TLC kit is cheaper partly because they offer zero technical
support.
