OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 06/01/2008 SKORPION™ Process Air Heater Safety SHOCK HAZARD! Only qualified individuals should install this heater and related controls. Follow all applicable electrical codes and use proper wiring. BURN HAZARD! Avoid contact with the heater nozzle during or soon after operation. EXPLOSION HAZARD! Heater produces extremely high temperatures. Do not use in hazardous environments, and/or near explosive or reactive gases, or combustible materials.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 06/01/2008 Description The SKORPION™ Process Air Heater from OSRAM SYLVANIA represents the perfect combination of power, size, reliability and control in Air Heating technology. The SKORPION™ Process Air Heater produces air temperatures from 1200°F (650°C) (120V version) to 1400°F (760°C) (230V version). A closed-loop PID temperature control system ensures precise control of your process. If used correctly, an element life of 5000 hours or greater can be expected.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 06/01/2008 Detailed Operation • Heater Voltage is regulated by a Solid State Relay (SSR), which is turned ON and OFF rapidly according to the temperature controller DC OUT signal. A “zero cross” type SSR is used to minimize electrical noise. • Heater Element is protected with a resistive photo detector and a thermal resistor (thermistor) mounted at the heater inlet. These sensors are connected in parallel with the DC input signal going to the SSR.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 06/01/2008 Replacement Procedures I. Replacing the Heating Element 1. Turn heater/blower switches OFF, and disconnect from power source. 2. Use a flat screwdriver to remove (pry open) the wiring cover under the stainless nozzle tube. 3. Remove the stainless nozzle by removing the two mounting screws, and the thru-bolt which passes through the plastic support tower and threads into the nozzle flange. 4.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 06/01/2008 III. Replacing the Power Controller NOTE: Thermally conductive compound (“heat sink grease”) is required to mount new SSR. 1. Turn heater/blower switches OFF, and disconnect from power source. 2. Remove the four screws which secure the black plastic top cover plate. 3. Remove the four wires connecting to the four terminals on the solid state relay. Be sure to mark the wires clearly for re-installation. 4.
