MOUNTING YOUR HEATING BLANKET

Installation of heater using factory supplied Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA):

3.Peel off the release film [Figure A] and then press the heater onto the surface of the item being heated using a medium to hard rubber roller [Figure B]. Ensure blanket is making intimate contact with the surface to be heated.

-The pressure sensitive adhesive will cure when the blanket is energized and heat is generated. PSA generally cures in twenty minutes at 200ºF (93ºC) in a 68ºF (20ºC) ambient environment. The cure time will vary with temperature of the blanket and surrounding ambient conditions. The higher the ambient temperature and set-point of the blanket, the faster the cure time.

-The blanket may require a temporary method of attachment to secure the heater until the PSA cures. Use a high-temperature adhesive tape to secure the heater.

-For larger heaters, press the heater onto the surface as the film is removed.

NOTE: OMEGA® does not recommend allowing pressure sensitive adhesive to cure at temperatures below 40ºF (4ºC).

CONNECTING YOUR HEATING BLANKET

TO A POWER SOURCE

1.If your heating blanket does not have its own internal temperature control device, it must be connected to an external control device. The heater must not be operated without some form of temperature control.

-Your heater is designed to operate at a specific voltage ±10%. Refer to the label on the heater for proper operating voltage and wattage information. Failure to operate the heater at the specified rating could result in overheating of the heating blanket, the surface being heated, or personal injury. Also note lower-than-rated voltage will result in under-heating.

-All electrical connections must be made by qualified personnel and in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations.

-SEBHB series: A NRTL (National Recognized Testing Laboratory) listed temperature controller with a failure annunciation must be used to control the surface temperature of the blanket. The controller must be approved for the area where it is located.

TO A POWER SOURCE

2.Most heating blankets are available with an optional high-limit safety thermostat to protect both the heater and the product being heated from damage if the main controlling device fails. This option is especially recommended for surfaces that are high risk for heat damage (e.g. plastic).

3.Ensure heater is protected by a properly rated circuit breaker or fuse.

4.Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is highly recommended and may be required according to local electric code.

5.Two wires (same color) should be connected to the power source (or temperature control device) directly, through a junction box, or to a connector that is mated to a receptacle connected to the power source. These heating blankets are non-polarized, allowing either wire to be connected to the neutral or hot. The third wire (if applicable), designated by the color green (or a green stripe), should be connected to ground.

6.SEBHB series: The conduit connection is 3/4” hub.

PROBLEM

SOLUTION(S)

 

 

Does not heat

Verify heater is connected to proper voltage.

 

Check to see if there is a resistance reading (not an

 

open circuit) in heater using an ohm meter.

 

 

Pressure sensitive adhesive is not

Verify date of manufacture. PSA has a shelf life of six

adhering

months.

 

Ensure there are no air gaps and heater is making

 

intimate contact with surface being heated. Use a

 

medium to hard rubber roller.

 

 

Circuit breaker is tripping

Validate that the circuit breaker is capable of handling

 

the amp requirement of heater. The identification

 

label located on the power cord displays the heater’s

 

amperage requirement.

 

Examine heater and cord for any damage.

 

Check to see if there is a resistance reading between

 

power leads and the ground lead.

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.
