Maintenance and Trouble
Shooting
1. Check Fit: The heater I.D. must be the same as the O.D. of
the cylinder.
2.
Secure Firmly: To compensate for normal expansion, retighten
periodically. Cycling and normal metal expansion may cause the
heaters to loosen.
3.
Eliminate Contamination: Oil, plastic, dirt, etc., will carbonize
and shorten heater life.
4.
Maintain Proper Voltage: The heater should be rated for the highest
voltage anticipated. Operation of a 220 Volt heater on 240 Volt
will raise the wattage by approximately 18%, increasing watt
density and reducing heater life.
5.
Provide Proper Maintenance:
1. Tighten screw terminals firmly, but avoid excessive
pressure.
2. Protect leads from abuse and abrasion.
3. Maintain temperature controls and accessories
in good working condition to avoid over-temperature operating
conditions.

It is not recommended to use Mica Band
Heaters more than 3" wide. 1 - 3" wide heaters have
shown to be more efficient and economical. |
