STEP 1

Remove heater from box. Make visual inspection of heater. Do not use

if torn or damaged.

STEP 2

Drum heater should be placed on a clean, dry surface. Open hook and

loop closure like VELCRO

on heater and position around drum with

adjustable thermoswitch in the upper third of the heater. Heater should

be positioned on drum such that it is covering the drum from the ﬂ oor

to the top of the drum. Fasten hook and loop closure so heater is tight

against the drum with no sagging or bundling. Cover top of drum with

optional insulation cover (sold separately, PN: FGDC55). For larger

diameter drums, up to 24.2” (615mm), optional Insulated expansion

strips are available (sold separetly, PN: FGDHSTRIP).

STEP 3 (see page 3 for electrical compliance)

For 120VAC model, plug standard 3-prong plug to appropriate

electrical power supply. For 240VAC model, terminate power cord

to appropriate electrical power supply. 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 electrially support the

voltage and amperage of the heater. The identiﬁ cation label located on

the power cord displays voltage and amperage requirements. Follow

all local electrical codes for proper electrical connections.

STEP 4

Adjust controller to desired setting (See page 6 for programming

instructions). Drum heaters designed for metal drums (FGDH series)

can be adjusted 50-450ºF (10-232ºC). Drum heaters designed for

plastic drums (FGPDH series) can be adjusted 50-160ºF (10-71ºC).
