We can design a heater specifically for your application. Contact us or your local distributor for
more details.

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

1. Check for suspected damage to the heater like rips, punctures, etc.
2. Confirm voltage / wattage rating of heater is appropriate for power supply device or
temperature controller. The heater is designed to work at a specific voltage to heat properly.
Failure to operate the heater at the specified rating could result in overheating of the heating
blanket, the surface being heated, or personal injury. Also note lower-than-rated voltage will
result in under-heating.

INSTALLATION

1. Wrap heater around properly sized beaker. The heater must be installed with the wires
exiting at the bottom of the glass beaker.
2. For proper temperature control, secure the thermocouple, RTD, or other sensing device,
vertically along the lead wire seam of the blanket with one strip of adhesive tape so that it is
sandwiched firmly in-between the heater and glass beaker.

Sensor must be in close proximity to the heater to prevent overheating.

Sensor should be connected in accordance with instructions provided with
temperature controller.
3. Ensure heater is in contact with the surface to be heated. The heater must be tightly
wrapped around the glass beaker. Minimal air gaps between the heater and the beaker
provide the best heat transfer and best heater life.
Do not wrap the heated areas of the blanket over itself or allow
CAUTION
it to contact a second heater. Only hook and loop closure
mating surfaces are intended to overlap.
4. Once the beaker heater has been properly setup:

120 VAC: Plug the heater into an acceptable temperature controller. Use a variable
transformer, manual control, or automatic controller to prevent overheating.

230 VAC/240 VAC GBHE: The two wires (same color) must be connected to the
temperature control device directly or to a connector that is mated to a receptacle
connected to the temperature control source. The third wire (yellow/green) must be
connected to ground. These heaters are non-polarized, allowing either wire to be
connected to neutral or hot.
