Installation Instructions; Connecting Heater To Power Source - BriskHeat SRL-ADJ Serie Mode D'emploi

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow these instructions could result in
property damage, personal injury, or death.
Requirements:

Electrical terminations must be completed by qualified persons.

No special tools or protective equipment is needed to handle this product (specific applications or
surfaces may require protective equipment).

Installation temperature range: -60°F (-51°C) to 131°F (55°C).

Clearance of 3" (7.5cm) required around vessel during installation.

Voltage and frequency must be within +/- 10% of the value specified on the product label.
Surface Preparation:
Always install your heater on a clean even surface for optimum performance and extended service life.
Debris and residue on the surface can not only damage your heater but may also reduce the
effectiveness of the heater by reducing the heat transfer between the surface and the heater.

Remove or avoid contact with sharp edges including rough corners, weld spatter, exposed bolts,
etc.
 Remove or avoid contact with rust, stickers, or other coverings.

Remove oil, moisture, gel and other liquids.
Instructions:
1. If your heater is equipped with PSA Pressure Sensitive Adhesive, verify the date of manufacture is
within 6 months of heater installation. The date of manufacturer is marked on the outside of the
packaging. If the date is beyond 6 months, please contact your local distributor/representative or
us at 1-800-848-7673, 614-294-3376, or bhtsales1@briskheat.com
adhesive.
2. Inspect heater prior to each installation (see inspection procedure).
3. Inspect vessel to be heated for any sharp edges, rust, oil, etc.
4. Ensure that there is no combustible material within 12" (30cm) of the surface to be heated.
5. Mounting
Heaters supplied with PSA (Pressure sensitive adhesive):
For PSA Models Only - Installation of heater using factory supplied Pressure Sensitive
Adhesive (PSA):
Peel off the release film (Figure 1) and then press the heater onto the surface of the item being
heated using a medium to hard rubber roller (Figure 2). Ensure heating blanket is making intimate
contact with the surface to be heated.
 The pressure sensitive adhesive will cure when the heating blanket is energized and heat is
generated. PSA generally cures in twenty minutes at 200°F (93°C) in a 68°F (20ºC) ambient
environment. The cure time will vary with temperature of the heating blanket and
surrounding ambient conditions. The higher the ambient temperature and set-point of the
heating blanket, the faster the cure time.

The heating blanket may require a temporary method of attachment to secure the heater until
the PSA cures. Use a high-temperature adhesive tape (BriskHeat
secure the heater.

For larger heaters, press the heater onto the surface as the film is removed.

NOTE: BriskHeat does not recommend allowing pressure sensitive adhesive to cure at
temperatures below 40°F (4°C).

6. Check for any air-gaps between the heater and surface. Air-gaps can reduce heat transfer from the
heater causing excess heat.

CONNECTING HEATER TO POWER SOURCE

All electrical wiring must be completed by qualified persons and
must be in compliance with local codes and regulations.
Heater equipped with temperature controlling device:
Before connecting the heater to an electrical source, turn the adjustable dial on the heater's control box
in the counter clockwise direction until it stops (this is the off position).
Heaters provided with a plug:
Connect the provided plug to a power supply receptacle.
Heaters provided with wire leads:
The power cable consists of three color-coded conductors: black, white and green. The black wire
should be connected to Line 1. The white wire should be connected to Line 2. The green wire should
be connected to earth ground. The power connections must be adequately rated to electrically support
the voltage and amperage of the heater. The identification label located on the power cord displays
voltage and amperage requirements.
