INSTALLATION OF WARMER
1. Select a suitable location on the drum, below the lowest expected content
level. For almost all applications, the heater should be installed on the bottom 1/3
of the drum to attain best results.
2. Wrap the warmer around the drum. Extend the spring attached to the metal
tab; latch the spring loop onto the hook on the opposite side as shown in
Figure
1
on the page 5.
3.
Verify there are no air gaps between the warmer and the drum.
4. Connect to AC power. Refer to page 5 for suggestions.
The warmer MUST make continuous contact with the drum.
Do not overlap the drum warmer onto itself or another
warmer.

Do not use metal tab as a handhold when extending the spring.
Read and understand this entire manual before operating this electric warmer.
1. Check for suspected damage to the warmer like rips, punctures, etc.
2. Verify surface to be heated is free from all sharp edges, weld splatter, rust, oil,
etc.
3. Check that the desired placement of the warmer will not cause damage to the
heater through impact shock, vibration, ambient temperature, or by neighboring
moving parts.
4. Confirm voltage / wattage rating of warmer is appropriate for power supply.
The warmer is designed to work at a specific voltage to heat properly. For
additional information, contact BriskHeat

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
5. Confirm warmer maximum exposure temperature rating is suitable for
environment. The tolerable exposure temperature range is between -60ºF
to 450ºF (-51ºC to 232ºC). The temperature of the warmer’s internal heating
element may run up to 25% higher than the external surface of the warmer.
6. Do NOT connect to AC power until all installation steps are completed.
SUMMARY OF OPERATION
1. BriskHeat
®
Drum / Pail Warmers are designed to heat the contents of
metal or plastic drums / pails.
2. These drum warmers are integrated with a built-in automatic preset
thermostat that regulates between 67
°
F ± 9
°F
and 85
°
F ± 5
°F
.
3. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
CONNECTING WARMER TO AC POWER
The DHCS-R series drum / pail warmers are designed to work at 120VAC and
are equiped with a 6-foot power cord and a standard 3-prong wall plug. Refer to
the lead wire label or stamp located on the warmer for rated voltage and wattage.
Failure to operate the drum heater at its rated voltage could
cause damage to the warmer, surface being heated, or contents
of drum.
All electrical connections must be made by qualified personnel
and in accordance with all local codes and regulations.
Properly sized circuit breakers must be used.
The end-user is responsible for providing a suitable electrical
protection device. It is highly recommended that a ground fault
circuit breaker be used.
OPERATION OF WARMER
The DHCS-R series drum / pail warmers have an automatic pre-adjusted
thermostat. The temperature will detect ambient temperature and regulate heat
between 67
°
F ± 9
°F
and 85
°
F ± 5
°F
. Warmer will automatically start warming
when plugged to the power source. For best results, cover heating area with 1/2”
fiberglass insulation or equivalent.
