Installation
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
- Check for suspected damage to the heating blanket like rips, punctures, etc.
- 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®.
- 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:
- 70ºF to 392ºF (-57ºC to 200ºC)
MOUNTING YOUR HEATER ONTO THE ENCLOSURE SURFACE:
Your silicone enclosure heater is pre-attached to an aluminum mounting plate.
The mounting plate has two 7/32” (5.5 mm) mounting holes pre cut into a
1/2” (13mm) flange (A).
Mounting Holes (B) are centered on the flange 4” apart for the 6” heater and
10” apart for the 12” heater.
Drawing:
Prior to mounting your heater:
- Find a location within the enclosure where there is sufficient clearance between the heater and other components.
- Determine whether vertical or horizontal mounting is preferable in the location chosen.
- If the heater has a built-in thermostat and is to be mounted vertically, then the thermostat should be located at the lower end.
- Use the holes provided to mount the heater onto a sub-panel or to another available mounting surface.
CONNECTING HEATER TO AC POWER
- The heater is designed to operate at a specific voltage: Refer to the lead wire label or stamp located on the heater for rated voltage and wattage. Failure to operate the heater at its rated voltage could cause damage to the heater, surface being heated, or contents.
- All electrical connections must be made by qualified personnel and in accordance with all local codes and regulations. Two wires (same color) should be connected to the power source directly, through a junction box, or to a connector that is mated to a receptacle connected to the power source. BriskHeat® SREH Silicone Rubber Enclosure Heaters are non-polarized, allowing either wire to be connected to the neutral or hot.
- Properly sized circuit breakers must be used. The end-user is responsible for providing suitable electrical protection device. It is highly recommended that a ground fault circuit breaker be used.
