Place the sensor pocket firmly against the drum surface. The aluminum foil side should directly contact the drum.
-
Wrap the heating blanket evenly around the drum and ensure full contact without gaps or folds.
-
Secure the blanket using the Velcro straps and adjustable buckle.
-
Install the insulation cap on the top of the container to reduce heat loss.
-
Connect the heater to the thermostat controller, then plug into a properly grounded 120V AC outlet.
Important Installation Notes
Full Surface Contact
Ensure the heating blanket fits tightly against the container surface for efficient heat transfer.
Correct Sensor Placement
The thermostat sensor should remain in direct contact with the drum surface for accurate temperature control.
Avoid Folding
Do not operate the heater when folded, overlapped, or tightly creased.
Check Power Supply
Confirm the power supply matches 120V AC before operation.
Hot Surface Warning:
The heating surface may become hot during operation. Do not touch the heater surface while powered.
Before Use Checklist
Confirm container size is compatible
