2. The OKA heater is available with metal sheathed, quartz
lamp or quartz tube heating elements. Use heaters with
metal sheathed elements where there is heavy vibration or
mechanical shock. Quartz tube or quartz lamp elements
are very fragile and require extreme care in handling.
Heaters utilizing quartz tubes or quartz lamps are
unsuitable for applications in locations where the risk of
heavy vibration or mechanical shock exists.
3. A minimum of handling of the quartz sheath is
recommended since any type of contamination on the
sheath may reduce service life.
1. Verify that the nameplate voltage and wattage are suitable
for use on the available electrical power supply. Do not
connect the heater to an electrical supply voltage other
than shown on the product label.
2. For metal sheathed heaters, install proper ground fault
protection to prevent personal injury and/or property
damage.
