Operation
Prior to connection of the product, please
ensure that the supply voltage matches the
product data label or the product specifications
out
of
the
accompanied
documents,
respectively.
Any product must be temperature
controlled! (unless otherwise stated
or specified)
Controller:
To change the set point of the controller, adjust
the knob until the desired temperature is
reached.
Picture 1 – Adjusting Knob
The maximum exposure ratings for the silicone
laminated drum heaters are 218°C continuous
and 260°C maximum short term (non-
repeatable 1 hour). The drum heater is provided
with a High Temperature Thermal Fuse set for
240°C. The thermal fuse will prevent the drum
band heater reaching a temperature that will
deteriorate the electrical insulation material.
Note:
Temperature of the internal heating element
may run up to 25% higher than the external
surface of the drum heater. Use extreme
caution for applications near the maximum
exposure temperature ratings of the drum band
heater.
Attention:
If the container or product´s maximum exposure
temperature rating is lower than the thermal
fuse rating, the end-user must supply an
external High Temperature limiting device to
limit the temperature of the blanket
When connecting the product, the requirements
of the standards listed below in “General Safety
Instructions”
and
“Additional
Safety
Instructions” have to be observed.
The maximum operating and withstand
temperature for the product are listed in the
technical data section. It has to be ensured that
this temperature is never exceeded at any point
of the product, irrespective of whether it is
switched on or off. In cases in which the kind of
installation or application cannot exclude that
the maximum product temperature is exceeded,
a suitable device for temperature control and, if
necessary, for temperature limitation has to be
provided.
Proper operation of the temperature controlling
and limiting devices has to be checked at initial
operation.
De-sizing:
Owing to technical reasons, some smoke or
vapors will develop at certain heating
temperatures during initial operation of polymer
and glass-fiber fabric materials. This is caused by
the heat-up of the size (slipping / binding or
cross-linking agent). The emerging vapors are
harmful and should not be inhaled.
Please permit good ventilation during this
de-sizing phase!
Maintenance and Safety
Maintenance and Safety is performed according
to the standards listed under "General Safety
Instructions”
and
“Additional
Safety
Instructions”, the regulations of the employer's
liability insurance associations applicable to the
respective way of use, as well as other relevant
rules applying to the application.
The operation of the system should be checked
for correct functionality.
