Prior to Installation

Read and understand this entire manual before operating this electric heater.

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 is appropriate for power supply device or temperature controller. The heater is designed to work at a speciﬁc voltage to heat properly.

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.

-All Silicone rubber heating blanket except SEPHB exposure temperature range: -60ºF to 450ºF (-51ºC to 232ºC)

-SEPHB exposure temperature range: -60ºF to 400ºF (-51ºC to 204ºC) T3: 292ºF (145ºC) high limit thermostat

T4A: 158ºF (70ºC) high limit thermostat

6.If the heating blanket is equipped with PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive), conﬁrm the heater was manufactured within the last six months. The PSA has a “shelf life” of six months and must be installed before this time elapses. The date of manufacture is stamped on the product box.

NOTE: If more than six months has elasped since date of manufacture, the blanket can be sent back to the factory for re-application of PSA.

7.Conﬁrm all necessary installation hardware and tools are readily available. Depending on the application, this may include...

Tools:

wire strippers

cleaning / prep supplies (varies based on what is being cleaned)

medium to hard roller

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

Hardware:

junction box

wire ties

mounting hardware

plug if connecting heater to a receptacle rather than hard wiring to a temperature controller or junction box.

temperature controller and silicone RTV insulating material sensor

high-temperature adhesive tape

MOUNTING YOUR HEATING BLANKET

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.

Your heater can be attached to the surface using:

•Factory applied PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive)

•Factory supplied mechanical fasteners

•Factory supplied or recommended mechanical clamping devices

•High-temperature adhesive tape that will not damage the heater

•Thin layer of RTV

For all installations, regardless of adhesion method:

1.For proper temperature control, place the thermocouple, RTD, or other sensing device, so that it touches the edge of the heating blanket.

-Sensor must be in close proximity to the heater to prevent overheating.

-If heating blanket is installed on a vertical surface, place sensor directly on lower edge of heating blanket since heat naturally rises.

-Sensor should be connected in accordance with instructions provided with temperature controller.

-Secure with one strip of aluminum adhesive tape.

2.Ensure heater is in contact with the surface to be heated. If air gaps are present, heat transfer will decrease and there is a potential to overheat the heating blanket. Use a medium to hard roller to eliminate trapped pockets of air.

Do not wrap the heater over itself or allow it to contact a second heater.

SRMU, SSHB, SEPHB Series specifications

Omega Vehicle Security has established itself as a leading innovator in automotive security with the introduction of its SRMU, SSHB, and SEPHB series. These advanced security systems are specifically designed to provide optimum protection for vehicles and address the growing concerns of theft and unauthorized access.

The SRMU (Security Relay Management Unit) is designed to control the vehicle's ignition and additional high-current devices, ensuring that only authorized users can start the engine. One of its prominent features is the use of microcontroller technology that allows it to communicate efficiently with various sensors and modules within the vehicle. The SRMU is equipped with a multi-channel programmable output, enabling customization according to individual user preferences.

The SSHB (Smart Signal Hopping Bypass) technology incorporated in these systems further enhances security. This feature employs a unique signal-hopping protocol to secure communications between the key fob and the vehicle, making it significantly more difficult for potential thieves to exploit vulnerabilities such as key cloning or signal interception. The SSHB ensures that each time the key fob is used, the communication frequency changes, thus complicating unauthorized access attempts.

The SEPHB (Smart Entry and Proximity Handoff Bypass) is another critical component in this series, featuring advanced proximity sensing technology. This allows for seamless keyless entry while still maintaining high-security standards. The system automatically detects the authorized key fob when the owner approaches the vehicle, enabling a smooth entry without physically pressing buttons. Furthermore, the SEPHB system includes intelligent override options, ensuring that the vehicle remains secure even if the key fob is inadvertently left behind.

These Omega Vehicle Security systems are designed with robustness and reliability in mind. They employ high-quality materials that can withstand the harsh conditions of automotive environments. Moreover, these systems are easy to install and integrate seamlessly with existing vehicle electronics, offering flexibility for various makes and models.

Overall, the Omega Vehicle Security SRMU, SSHB, and SEPHB series represents a significant advancement in automotive security. With features such as microcontroller technology, signal hopping, and intelligent proximity sensing, these systems effectively protect vehicles against unauthorized access while providing convenience and peace of mind for vehicle owners. Through continual innovation, Omega remains at the forefront of vehicle security technology, committed to delivering superior protection solutions.
