Read and understand this entire manual before operating this electric heater.
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
1. Check for suspected damage to the heating blanket like rips, punctures,
etc.
2. Verify surface to be heated is free from all sharp edges, weld splatter, rust,
oil, etc. Surface must be clean prior to installing heater.
3. Check that the desired placement of the blanket will not cause damage to
the blanket through impact shock, vibration, ambient temperature, or by
neighboring moving parts.
4. Confirm voltage / wattage rating of heater. The heater is designed to work
at a specific voltage to heat properly. For additional information, contact
your local distributor or BriskHeat
®
.
5. Confirm blanket maximum exposure temperature rating is suitable for
environment. The temperature of the internal heating element may run up
to 25% higher than the external surface of the blanket. Use extreme
caution for applications that require a process temperature near the
maximum exposure temperature ratings of the blanket.
Silicone rubber heating blanket exposure temperature range:
-60ºF to 450ºF (-51ºC to 232ºC)
6. Confirm all necessary installation hardware and tools are readily available.
Depending on the application, this may include specific Tools:
Cleaning / prep supplies (varies based on what is being cleaned)
Medium to hard roller
Your silicone rubber heating blanket can be mounted on both flat and curved
surfaces. However, do not allow your heater to exceed the maximum “bend
radius”. The typical bend radius is approximately 2” (51mm). To determine the
bend radius, slowly bend the heater until it begins to crease or fold. The point
prior to creasing is the bend radius. Your heater may be more flexible in one
direction than the other, however,
the heater should be installed with the
wires exiting the bottom if in an outdoor application.
