control system with liquid.
 Keep volatile or combustible material away
from control and heating system when in use.
 Keep sharp metal objects away from control
and heating system.
 Use control and heating system only in
approved locations.
Failure to observe these warnings may result in
electric shock, risk of fire, and personal injury.
End User Must Comply to the Following:
 Only qualified personnel are allowed to connect
electrical wiring
 All electrical wiring must follow local electrical
codes and NEC Article 427
 Final installation/wiring is to be inspected by
the authority who has jurisdiction in the area
where the heater and temperature control
system are installed
 The end-user is responsible for providing a
suitable disconnect device
 The end-user is responsible for providing a
suitable over-current protection device. It is
highly recommended that a ground-fault circuit
breaker be used
Failure to observe these warnings may result in
personal injury or damage to the heater.
 Inspect all components before
use.
 Never handle the heater while
it is in operation; always
disconnect the heater from the
power source and allow to cool
prior to handling.
 Do not wrap the heater over
itself.
 If spillage of foreign matter onto
heater occurs, disconnect from
power source and clean after
heater is allowed to cool.
 Never operate a heater without
an appropriate heat sink
(device being heated is
considered a heat sink).
 Do not operate heater above
rated temperature value.
 Fasten heater to device using
approved methods only.
 Do not use control and heating
system if any component is

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
1. Check for suspected damage to the heating blanket like rips, punctures,
etc.
2. Verify surface to be heated is free from all sharp edges, weld splatter,
rust, oil, etc. Surface must be clean prior to installing heater.
3. Check that the desired placement of the blanket will not cause damage
to the blanket through impact shock, vibration, ambient temperature, or
by neighboring moving parts.
4. Confirm voltage / wattage rating of heater. The heater is designed to
work at a specific voltage to heat properly. For additional information,
contact your local distributor or BriskHeat
®
.
5. Confirm blanket maximum exposure temperature rating is suitable for
environment. The temperature of the internal heating element may run
up to 25% higher than the external surface of the blanket. Use extreme
caution for applications that require a process temperature near the
maximum exposure temperature ratings of the blanket.
- Silicone rubber heating blanket exposure temperature range:
-60ºF to 450ºF (-51ºC to 232ºC)
6. Confirm all necessary installation hardware and tools are readily
available.
Depending on the application, this may include specific Tools:
- Cleaning / prep supplies (varies based on what is being cleaned)
- Medium to hard roller
Your silicone rubber heating blanket can be mounted on both flat and curved
surfaces. However, do not allow your heater to exceed the maximum “bend
radius”. The typical bend radius is approximately 2” (51mm). To determine the
bend radius, slowly bend the heater until it begins to crease or fold. The point
prior to creasing is the bend radius. Your heater may be more flexible in one
direction than the other, however, the heater should be installed with the
wires exiting the bottom if in an outdoor application.
Read and understand this entire manual before operating this electric heater.
