FIRE HAZARD. An integral thermostat, if provided, is designed for temperature control service only. Because the thermostat does not fail safe, it should not be used for temperature limiting duty. Wiring to this device is the responsibility of the user.
The system designer is responsible for the safety of this equipment and should install adequate
electric heating equipment. Where the conse- quences of failure could result in personal injury or property damage,
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD. Use only Explosion Resistant Enclosures (E2, E3 or ER) in hazardous atmospheres where flammable vapors, gases, liquids or other combustible atmospheres are present as defined in the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70). Failure to comply could result in personal injury or property damage.
INSTALLATION
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect all power before installing or servicing heater. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property dam- age. Heater must be installed by a qualified person in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
1.Before installing, check your
2.Do not bend heating elements. If bending is necessary, consult factory.
3.IMPORTANT: Mount the heater in the tank so that the liquid level will always be above the effective heated portion of the heater. If the heater is not properly submerged, it will overheat and damage the heating elements and create a possible fire hazard due to excessive sheath temperatures. See “Warning” under “Installation” section. (see Figure 3).
4.Heater must be supported from tank bottom. Heater must not be operated in sludge. Sludge legs can be provided. Assemble as shown in Figure 3.
5.Where work will pass over or near equipment, additional protec- tion, such as a metal guard, may be needed.
6.In the electroplating operation the heaters are not, under any cir- cumstance, to be placed between the electrodes and the work.
7.When melting solids by direct immersion, a surface vent should be provided to allow gases to escape. Operate the heater on half volt- age until melted material completely covers the heater area.
8.A drip loop is recommended to minimize passage of moisture along wiring into terminal enclosure and connections.
FIRE HAZARD. Since heaters are capable of developing high temperatures, extreme care should be taken to:
A.Use
B.Avoid contact between heater and combustible materials.
C.Keep combustible materials far enough away to be free of the effects of high temperatures.
FREEZE HAZARD. Some
