Series)
Read and understand this entire
manual before operating this
electric heater.
INSTALLATION / OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
VOLTAGE:
120VAC; 240VAC
STEP 1
Remove heater from box. Make visual inspection of heater. Do not use
if torn or damaged.
STEP 2
Drum heater should be placed on a clean, dry surface. Open hook and
loop closure on heater and position around drum with adjustable
thermoswitch in the upper third of the heater. Heater should be posi-
tioned on drum such that it is covering the drum from the floor to the top
of the drum. Fasten hook and loop closure so heater is tight against the
drum with no sagging or bundling. Cover top of drum with optional insu-
lation cover (sold separately, PN: FGDC55). For larger diameter drums,
up to 24.2” (615mm), optional Insulated expansion strips are available
(sold separately, PN: FGDHSTRIP).
STEP 3 (see page 3 for electrical compliance)
For 120VAC model, plug standard 3-prong plug to appropriate electrical
power supply. For 240VAC model, terminate power cord to appropriate
electrical power supply. The power cable consists of three color-coded
conductors, black, white, and green. The black wire should be
connected to Line 1. The white wire should be connected to Line 2. The
green wire should be connected to earth ground. The power
connections must be adequately rated to electrically support the voltage
and amperage of the heater. The identification label located on the
power cord displays voltage and amperage requirements. Follow all
local electrical codes for proper electrical connections.
STEP 4
Adjust controller to desired setting (See page 6 for programming
instructions). Drum heaters designed for metal drums (FGDH series)
can be adjusted 50-450ºF (10-232ºC). Drum heaters designed for
plastic drums (FGPDH series) can be adjusted 50-160ºF (10-71ºC).
