Maintenance and trouble shooting for prolonging heater life
1. Regulate Voltage. A 10% variation in voltage results in a 20% variation in power.
2. When attaching the lead wire to the terminals, excessive turning pressure can cause breakage of the terminal resistance wire.
3. A ¼" gap should be maintained at the opening when operating. Retightening is not normally required, however, if the operating temperature is changed the clamp bolt should be checked.
4. Any material which can be carbonized such as dirt, oil, plastic, etc., should not be allowed to collect on the heaters.
5. Select a heater to match the diameter of the cylinder. In no case should heaters be used that are too large.
6. Match the heaters as closely as possible to the actual load requirement to reduce cycling.
