Use heater only in approved locations.

Keep sharp metal objects away from heater.

All SRX blankets have T ratings described in Article
501 of the NEC code. The blankets should not be
used in an area with a lower T rating than the blanket.
The T rating is stated in marking on the blanket.
Failure to observe these warnings may result in electric
shock, risk of fire, and personal injury.
WARNING
End-User Must Comply to the Following:

Only qualified personnel are allowed to connect

and highly recommend following NEC Article 427.

The person who performs the final installation / wiring
must be qualified for this work.

The end-user is responsible for providing a suitable
disconnecting device.

The end-user is responsible for providing suitable
electrical protection device. It is highly recommended
that a ground fault circuit breaker is used.

SRX series: A NRTL (National Recognized Testing
Laboratory) listed temperature controller must be used
to control the surface temperature of the blankets.
The controller must be approved for the area where it
is located.

SRX series: Heaters provide surface heating, consult
proper authorities for information for safe heating of
materials/ contents of any vessel heated by SRX
heaters.
Failure to observe these warnings may result in personal

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

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

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.
For additional information, contact your local distributor or BriskHeat
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 SRX exposure temperature range:
-60ºF to 450ºF (-51ºC to 232ºC)

SRX exposure temperature range: -60ºF to 400ºF (-51ºC to 204ºC)
T3: 292ºF (145ºC) high limit thermostat
T4A: 158ºF (70ºC) high limit thermostat
6. 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
Hardware:

Junction Box

Wire Ties

Mounting Hardware

Temperature controller and sensor

Silicone RTV

Insulating material

High-temperature adhesive tape (part # AA2180)

