INSTALLATION / OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
Remove heater from box. Visually inspect the heater and all components for rips, tears,
punctures, and/or any visual damage. Do not use if damaged.
STEP 2
Heater should be placed on a clean, IBC/Tote, free of oil, chemical, debris, etc. Locate
“mouse-hole” on heater. Loosely wrap heater around IBC / tote tank with the mouse-hole
positioned to accommodate the exit spigot. The temperature controller must be facing
outward and positioned on the upper portion of the heater. Secure the two top straps by
fastening the quick-release plastic buckles. Overlap the side of the heater with the nylon
straps secured closest to the edge on the outside, over the other side of the heater.
Secure and tighten the bottom, middle and top straps. All five straps should now be firmly
tightened so the heater is tight against the tote tank / IBC with no sagging or bunching.
Cover the top of the tote tank / IBC with optional insulation cover (TOTEW-TOP).
STEP 3
Connect standard 3-prong plug (if applicable) to appropriate electrical power supply. The
power connection 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 Program Controller
The control panel display features a backlit LCD display and three buttons for set-up and
adjustment of the controller’s settings.
The use of two individuals is
highly recommended for this
installation.

Note: The default setting for your temperature controller displays basic menu options only.
The Basic menu allows you to quickly edit the On and OFF temperature values, as
well as the Sensor Failure Mode (SF) and Anti-Short Cycle Delay (ASd) value.
Parameter Code Definitions:
On: Lower limit parameter, temperature at which the heater turns on.
OFF: Upper limit parameter, temperature at which the heater turns off.
Note: During normal operation your heater will cycle between the On and OFF parameter
values. For a tighter temperature tolerance, program the On and OFF parameter
values closer together.
For basic programming and temperature setting instructions, follow these steps:
1. Press MENU to display the basic menu.
2. Press ▲or ▼ to scroll through basic parameter options.
3. With OFF parameter displayed, press MENU.
4. Press ▲or ▼ to select the upper limit temperature value desired.
5. Press MENU to save OFF value setting.
6. With On parameter displayed, press MENU.
7. Press ▲or ▼ to select the lower limit temperature value desired.
8. Press MENU to save On value setting.
Note: If you do not press MENU to save a displayed value, the control reverts to the last
saved value. After 30 seconds of inactivity, while in any screen, the control reverts
to the Main screen.
For additional explanation of basic menu options and for programming instructions for
advanced menu options, please review instruction manual for the A421 Series Standard
Electronic Temperature Control or contact BriskHeat factory at 1-800-848-7673 (toll free in
US/Canada) or 1-614-294-3376 (worldwide) for assistance.
STEP 5 (Optional IBC/Tote Tank Insulator)
PN: TOTEW-TOP
Universal Size: 48”x48” (1219mm x 1219mm)
Install optional IBC/Tote Tank Insulator by disconnecting the buckle of one of the two top
straps and sliding the insulator underneath the remaining top strap. Reconnect the top
strap buckle and tighten both straps if necessary. Depending on the size of your IBC/Tote
Tank, tuck excess insulator between the IBC/Tote Tank and the heater.

PROBLEM SOLUTION(S)
Does not heat Verify heater is connected to proper voltage. The identification
label located on the power cord displays the heater’s voltage
requirement.
Verify temperature controller is properly programmed for
heating operating mode by visually checking “Operating Mode
Indicator” on LCD display (see figure 1).
Flame Icon = Heating Mode
Snowflake Icon = Cooling Mode
For heating mode of operation, OFF parameter must be
programmed greater than On parameter.
Check to see if there is a resistance reading (not an open
circuit) in heater using an ohm meter.
Circuit breaker is tripping Validate that the circuit breaker is capable of handling the
amp requirement of the heater. The identification label located
on the power cord displays the heater’s amperage
requirement.
Examine heater and cord for any damage.
Does not fit Confirm that the heater provided was designed to fit around
your specified tote tank / IBC.
If the heater was designed for the specified tote tank / IBC,
please call 1-800-848-7673 or 614-294-3376 for further
assistance.
Something has lightly
spilled on exterior or
