CONNECTING HEATER TO POWER SOURCE

All electrical wiring must be completed by qualified persons and
must be in compliance with local codes and regulations.
1. If your heating blanket does not have a built-in internal temperature control device, it must be
connected to an external temperature controlling device.
Note: It is uncommon for silicone rubber heating blankets to be equipped with a built-in
temperature controlling device. The heater must be operated with a temperature
controlling device.
WARNING
SRX Series: A NRTL (National Recognized Testing Laboratory) listed temperature controller must
be used to control the surface temperature of the heating blankets. The controller must be
approved for the area where it is located.
2. Most heating blankets are available with an optional high-limit safety thermostat to protect both the
heater and the product being heated from damage if the main controlling device fails. This option is
especially recommended for surfaces that are high risk for heat damage (e.g. plastic). Contact
factory for more details.
3. Ensure heater is protected by a properly rated circuit breaker or fuse.
4. Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is highly recommended and may be required
according to local electric code.
5. Power lead wires should be connected to the power source (or temperature control device)
directly, through a junction box, or to a connector that is mated to a receptacle connected to the
®
power source. BriskHeat Heating Blankets are non-polarized, allowing either power lead wire to
be connected to the neutral or hot. The third wire (if applicable), designated by the color green (or
a green stripe), should be connected to ground. For three phase installation, contact the factory.
6. SRX series: The conduit connection is 3/4" hub.
