4. Ensure the thermostat sensor, located underneath the control box, is in good contact with
the object being heated.
5. Secure the heater and control box using aluminum or fiberglass adhesive the or a
mechanical device which will not cause damage to the heater.
6. Before connecting the heater to an electrical source, turn the adjustable dial on the heater's
control box in the counter clockwise direction until it stops (this is the off position).
7. For Heater with plug:
Connect the heater plug to an appropriately rated power recepticle.
For Heater without plug:
Attach an appropriate plug to this heater or hard-wire it. Disconnect electricity before
terminating this heater. Terminate the black wire to line 1 and the white wire to line 2. The
power connections must be adequately rated to support the voltage and current specified on
the label attached to your heater.
8. Cover heater with noncombustible insulation (not included) for optimal thermal performance.
9. If this heater is going to operate at greater than 149°F (65°C) then a warning label should be
placed near the heater.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Read and understand this entire manual before operating this
WARNING
electric heating tape.
Adjust dial to desired heat output:
HSTAT up to 425°F (218°C)
MSTAT up to 160°F (71°C)
WARNING: Temperature controller dial and enclosure will become very hot after use. Always
de-energize before installation or servicing.
To increase temperature output of the heater, turn the adjustable dial in the clockwise direction.
To decrease temperature output of the heater, turn the adjustable dial in the counter-clockwise
direction.
Note: Ambient conditions will affect the dial's position in which the heater begins to heat. In
cooler temperature conditions the heater will begin to heat at a lower temperature
position on the dial and in warmer temperature conditions the heater will begin to heat at
a higher temperature position on the dial.
For heating temperature sensitive materials that require a specific set-point or have a tight
tolerance temperature range Use of an external temperature controlling device is required.
Select a temperature controller with the accuracy necessary for the application and is approved
for the location and conditions where the heater is to be used. For lower temperature applications
up to 212°F (100°C) BriskHeat recommends the use of a TC4X Digital Temperature Controller.
For higher temperature applications BriskHeat recommends the use of a TTD Digital
Temperature Controller.
Note: If assistance determining a proper temperature controlling device is required for your
application, please contact BriskHeat or your local distributor for application assistance
and product solutions.
Install and connect the external temperature controlling device between the heater and the
electrical source as shown in Figure B. Install the temperature controlling device in accordance
with manufacturer's installation instructions.
Mount the temperature sensor between the heater and the surface being heated. Secure the
sensor using appropriately rated aluminum or fiberglass adhesive tape.
Set the heater's temperature controlling dial to the maximum temperature setting. Adjust heater
output using the external temperature controlling device.
