1. Turn SKORP ION air heater ON using two switches:

1.1. S witch S1 (blower) sends power to the blower and to heater switch S2.

1.2. Switch S2 (heater) sends power to the heater control circuit.

1.3. Note, for heater safety, S2 (heater) cannot turn ON without S1 (blower) ON.

2. Adjust airflow via a rotational air damper at the blower inlet.

3. Adjust temperature set point with the UP/DOWN arrows on the temperature controller.
Heater will ramp to temperature.

3.1. T he process temperature is measured with an internal type “K” thermocouple located at

the end of an element inside the stainless housing.

When turn ing the he ater off the heater power (S2) may be turned off and the blower (S1)

l

eft on to cool the heater housing assembly. This is suggested to prevent burn injury of

personnel around the heater but is not necessary for safety of the heater element.
