Installation Instructions; Connecting Heater To Power - BriskHeat Custom Serie Manuel D'instructions

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow these instructions could result in
property damage, personal injury, or death.
Requirements:
•
Electrical terminations must be completed by qualified persons.
•
No special tools or protective equipment is needed to handle this product (specific applications or
surfaces may require protective equipment).
•
Installation temperature range: -60°F (-51°C) to 131°F (55°C).
•
Clearance of 3" (7.5cm) required around vessel during installation.
•
Voltage and frequency must be within +/- 10% of the value specified on the product label.
Surface Preparation:
Always install your heater on a clean even surface for optimum performance and longevity. Debris and
residue on the surface can not only damage your heater but may also reduce the effectiveness of the
heater by reducing the heat transfer between the surface and the heater.
•
Remove or avoid contact with sharp edges including rough corners, weld spatter, exposed bolts,
etc.
•
Remove or avoid contact with rust, stickers, or other coverings.
•
Remove oil, moisture, gel and other liquids.
Instructions:
1. Inspect heater prior to each installation (see inspection procedure).
2. Inspect vessel to be heated for any sharp edges, rust, oil, etc.
3. Ensure that there is no combustible material within 12" (30cm) of the surface to be heated.
4. Select a suitable location to install the heater. The heater should be located below the lowest
expected content level (typically the bottom 1/3) of the vessel.
Do not overlap the heater on itself or another heater. Do not twist the heater or cover
any protrusions that may cause an air gap beneath the heater.
5. Wrap the heater around the vessel. Extend the spring attached to the metal tab until it hooks onto
the opposing metal tab as shown below.
6. Check for any air-gaps between the heater and the vessel.
7. Install temperature controlling device if other then adjustable thermostat (See below for DHCX).

Installing the Temperature Sensor (DHCX series)
1. Mount the temperature sensor as close as possible to the heater and on the outside of the drum. It
is best to mount the sensor vertically. Avoid bending or coiling the capillary tube tighter than a
1/2" (13mm) radius.
Note: The sensing point is the entire length of the sheath 10.5"(267mm). It is important that as
much of the bulb's surface is in contact with the drum as possible.
Do not immerse the sensing bulb into the contents of the drum.
2. Once an appropriate location has been determined, secure the sensor to the drum using aluminum
or fiberglass adhesive tape.
CONNECTING HEATER TO POWER SOURCE
All electrical wiring must be completed by qualified persons and
must be in compliance with local codes and regulations.
Heater equipped with temperature controlling device:
Before connecting the heater to an electrical source, turn the adjustable dial on the heater's control box
in the counter clockwise direction until it stops (this is the off position).
Heaters provided with a plug:
Connect the provided plug to a power supply receptacle.
Heaters provided with wire leads:
The power cable consists of three color-coded conductors: black, white and green. The black wire
should be connected to Line 1. The white wire should be connected to Line 2. The green wire
should be connected to earth ground. The power connections must be adequately rated to
electrically support the voltage and amperage of the heater. The identification label located on the
power cord displays voltage and amperage requirements.
