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.

Recommended Maximum Watt Density
Steel Block Temp in ºF
With SCR or SSR control output, watt density can be increased up to 30%.
6. Do not open one piece band heaters or internal damage may result. If a Full Band Heater cannot be installed over the end of the cylinder, then use a Split Case or Half Band Heater for best results.
7. Trouble Shooting: Check wiring for poor connections or open control if heater fails to heat when initially energized. Sustained high operating temperature may reduce heater life. If terminals oxidize, tighten connections and check for proper wire size.
