General Recommendations

on the Use of Electric Heating Elements

GENERAL

Safety Guidelines

The safety and performance of this heater is dependent upon prop- er handling, installation, control and maintenance. Since we cannot anticipate all conditions under which this information and heater, or this heater in combination with other manufacturer’s products may be used, it is advised that you conduct your own tests to determine the safety and suitability of this heater in combination with other products in your application.

The Safety Alert Symbol: is found throughout these installa- tion instructions to identify potential hazards that can result in person- al injury. The seriousness of the potential risk is identified by one of these three words:

DANGER – will result in serious injury or death.

– could result in serious injury or death.

Read and follow these instructions to minimize risks of electric shock or fire. Save these instructions for future reference.

The electric heating element(s) supplied herein are of rugged con- struction and if properly installed, operated and maintained, are designed for long life and dependable, trouble-free service.

The system designer is responsible for the safety of this equipment and should install adequate back-up controls and safety devices with their electric heating equipment. Where the conse- quences of failure could result in personal injury or property damage, back-up controls are essential.

– may result in minor or moderate injury.

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.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Any installation involv- ing electric heaters must be performed by a quali- fied person and must be effectively grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code to eliminate shock hazard.

FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD. Since electric heaters are capa- ble of developing high temperatures, extreme care should be taken to:

A. Avoid mounting heaters in an environment containing combustible liquids, gases or vapors.

B.Avoid contact between heaters and combustible materials.

C.Keep combustible materials far enough away to be free of the effects of high temperatures.

Failure to comply could result in personal injury or property damage.

High heating efficiency, low sheath temperatures, and long heater life result when electric heaters are properly installed.

1.Heater mounting must allow for heater expansion without sacri- ficing heat transfer efficiency.

2.Electric heaters should not be bent or deformed because heater insulation can be damaged, leading to electrical problems and a short heater life.

3.Clamp-on heaters should be securely clamped to clean, smooth, metal surfaces. No insulation should contact sheath.

4.Cartridge heaters, when inserted, should be provided with snug fit- ting holes. Use heat transfer and release compound as required.
