Silicone Rubber Band Drum / Pail Heaters

MOUNTING OF TEMPERATURE SENSOR (DHCX series)

1. Mount the temperature sensor as close as possible to the heater, 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 is important that as much of the bulb’s surface is in contact

with the drum.

Do not immerse the sensing bulb into the contents of the drum.

2. Once an appropriate location has been determined, secure the

sensor to the drum using aluminum or fiberglass adhesive tape.

ADJUSTMENT OF TEMPERATURE SET-POINT

Do not operate the heater without a temperature controlling device (if

not installed). Failure to use such a device may result in in-process

damage or heater failure.

If the operating temperature is within 50ºF (10ºC) of the maximum

exposure temperature of the heater or if the temperature sensor/

controller or thermostat is controlling a process remote to the heater,

an integral high-limit temperature cut-out sensor/controller or

thermostat is required to protect the heater.

DHCH, DHCS, DPCH, DPCS, ECONO series

Adjust dial to desired setting. Drum heaters designed for metal drums

(DHCH, DHCS, and ECONO series) can be adjusted 50-425ºF (10-

218ºC). Drum heaters designed for poly drums (DPCH and DPCS se-

ries) can be adjusted 50-160ºF (10-71ºC).

DHCX series

1. Remove the two screws securing the metal plate opposite the

temperature sensor.

2. Remove the metal plate to expose the low and high limit set-point

controls.

3. Adjust the high and low temperature set-points to an appropriate

level for the environment. The low temperature set-point is the process

control. The high limit set point is connected to the high temperature

limit 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
