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 longevity. 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. Inspect heater prior to each installation (see inspection procedure).
2. Inspect vessel to be heated for any sharp edges, rust, oil, etc.
3. Ensure that there is no combustible material within 12" (30cm) of the surface to be heated.
4. Select a suitable location to install the heater. The heater should be located below the lowest
expected content level (typically the bottom 1/3) of the vessel.
Do not overlap the heater on itself or another heater. Do not twist the heater or cover
any protrusions that may cause an air gap beneath the heater.
5. Wrap the heater around the vessel. Extend the spring attached to the metal tab until it hooks onto
the opposing metal tab as shown below.
Installing the Temperature Sensor (DHCX series)
1. Mount the temperature sensor as close as possible to the heater and on the outside of the drum. It
is best to mount the sensor vertically. Avoid bending or coiling the capillary tube tighter than a
1/2” (13mm) radius.
Note: The sensing point is the entire length of the sheath 10.5”(267mm). It i s impor tant that as
much of the bulb’s surface is in contact with the drum as possible.
2. Once an appropriate location has been determined, secure the sensor to the drum using aluminum
Do not immerse the sensing bulb into the contents of the drum.
or fiberglass adhesive tape.
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.
Figure 1
6. Check for any air-gaps between the heater and the vessel.
7. Install temperature controlling device if other then adjustable thermostat (See below for DHCX).
This product is equipped with a dial adjustable thermostat temperature controller. A maximum
temperature is identified on the label: 425°F (218°C) or 160°F (71°C). Adjust dial to desired heat output .
To increase temperature output of the heater, turn the adjustable dial in the clockwise direction. To
decrease temperature output of the heater, turn the adjustable dial in the counter clockwise direction.
Note: Ambient conditions will affect the dial’s position in which the heater begins to heat. In cooler
temperature conditions the heater will begin to heat at a lower temperature position on the dial
and in warmer temperature conditions the heater will begin to heat at a higher temperature
position on the dial.
It is recommended that a thermometer is attached to the vessel being heated. Adjust the dial until you
achieve the desired temperature.
Note: Changes in ambient conditions or in the temperature of the contents may cause the
temperature to shift over time.
For heating temperature sensitive materials that require a specific set-point or have a tight
tolerance temperature range Use of an external temperature controlling device is required. Select a
temperature controller with the accuracy necessary for the application and is approved for the location
and conditions where the drum heater is to be used. For lower temperature applications up to 212°F
(100°C) BriskHeat recommends the use of a TC4X Digital Temperature Controller. For higher
temperature applications BriskHeat recommends the use of a TTD Digital Temperature Controller.
Note: If assistance determining a proper temperature controlling device is required for your
application, please contact BriskHeat or your local distributor for application assistance and
product solutions.
Install and connect the external temperature controlling device between the drum heater and the
electrical source as shown in Figure 2. Install the temperature controlling device in accordance with
manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Ensure a grounded connection is provided and if the temperature controlling device does not support a
grounded connection, ensure an approved earth ground source is provided.
Mount the temperature sensor between the heater’s metal tab and the outside of the container. Secure
the sensor to the container using appropriately rated aluminum or fiberglass adhesive tape.
Set the drum heater’s temperature controlling dial to the maximum temperature setting. Adjust heater
output using the external temperature controlling device.
DHCX series Remove the two screws securing the metal plate opposite the temperature sensor.
Remove the metal plate to expose the low and high limit set-point controls. Adjust the high and low
temperature set-points to an appropriate level for the application. The low temperature set-point is the
process control. The high limit set point is connected to the high temperature limit indicator light.
Replace the metal plate and secure with two screws.
Do not adjust the low set-point higher than the high limit thermostat.
Do not adjust the low set-point higher than the high temperature set-point
connected to the indicator light.
NOTE: These heaters have a built-in, high limit thermostat that will prevent it from overheating.
T-3 rated heaters: 292°F (145°C) high limit thermostat.
T-4A rated heaters: 158°F (70°C) high limit thermostat.
Drum heater operation can now be controlled using the external temperature controlling device. Follow
operating instructions for the external temperature controlling device for adjusting the specific
temperature set-point.
DHNS and DPNS series Do not operate the heater without a temperature controlling device. Failure to
use such a device may result in material damage or heater failure. If normal operating temperature
exceeds 400°F (204°C), a separate high-limit temperature cut-out sensor/controller is required to protect
the heater.
