PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

1. Check for suspected damage to the heater like rips, punctures, etc.
2. Verify surface to be heated is free from all sharp edges, weld splatter, rust, oil, etc. The surface must be cleaned prior to installing the heater.
3. Confirm voltage/wattage rating of the heater is appropriate for the power supply device or temperature controller. The heater is designed to work at a specific voltage to heat properly. For additional information, contact your local distributor or BriskHeat® direct.

INSTALLATION

STEP 1
Remove the polyurethane bottle from the cage or pallet and remove any cardboard and/or paper insulation.

STEP 2
Place the heater in the bottom of the cage with the black (insulation) side down, and the orange (heater) side up (Figure 1). Make sure the heater is as far back from the front
(nozzle side) as possible, and the power cord exits the front of the cage or IBC.

CAUTION
If there are air gaps between the surface being heated and the heater, hot spots can occur and could result in burnouts due to overheating.

STEP 3
Place the bottle into the cage on top of the heater, making sure the plug and power cord are outside the cage and not under the heater (Figure 2). STEP 4
Fill the bottle with the product.

STEP 5
BriskHeat® recommends using TTD series controllers with this product. (Sold separately).

Connect the heater power cord to the TTD controller receptacle, and the sensor plug to the TTD controller sensor jack. BriskHeat® TTD series controllers can be suspended from the top rung of the IBC (Figure 3). The TTD digital On/Off thermocouple temperature controller is designed for outdoor use.

WARNING
Your heater is designed to operate at a specific voltage. Refer to the label on the heater for proper operating voltage and wattage information. Failure to operate the heater at the specified rating could result in overheating of the heater, damage to the surface being heated, or personal injury. Also, note that too low of a supply of voltage will result in under heating.

All electrical connections must be made by qualified personnel and in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations.
