INSTALLATION / OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Read and understand this entire manual
before operating this electric heater.
STEP 1
Remove heater from box. Make visual inspection of heater. Do not use if torn or damaged.
STEP 2
Drum heater should be placed on a clean, dry surface. Open hook and loop closure on heater
and position around drum with adjustable thermo-switch in the upper third of the heater. Heater
should be positioned on drum such that it is covering the drum from the floor to the top of the
drum. Fasten hook and loop closure so heater is tight against the drum with no sagging or
bundling. Cover top of drum with optional insulation cover (sold separately, PN: FGDC55). For
larger diameter drums, up to 24.2" (615mm), optional Insulated expansion strips are available
(sold separately, PN: FGDHSTRIP).
STEP 3 (see page 3 for electrical compliance)
For models with standard 3-prong plug, connect plug to appropriate electrical power supply.
For models with ferrle crimped leads, terminate power cord to appropriate electrical power supply
or appropriately rated plug. The power cable consists of three color-coded conductors, black,
white, and green. The black wire should be connected to Line 1. The white wire should be
connected to Line 2. The green wire should be connected to earth ground. The power
connections 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
Switch power to the "On" position by toggling switch located on the side of the controller. The
switch will illuminate when in the "On" position.
Adjust controller to desired setting (See page 6 for programming instructions). Drum
heaters designed for metal drums (FGDH + FGDDC series) can be adjusted 50-450ºF (10-
232ºC). Drum heaters designed for plastic drums (FGPDH series) can be adjusted 50-160ºF (10-
71ºC).
For FGDDC models equipped with two heated zones the user must ensure the contents of the
drum remain at or above the heated area of the zone(s) in operation. To avoid damage to the
heater, drum and/or contents if the contents fall below the top of the heated zone, the user must
disconnect power to the zone by toggling the controller switch to the "Off " position. The switch
will not illuminate while in the " Off " position.

error, the following messages will be shown:
Er = Memory Error
-- = Short-Circuit Probe Error (Disconnects output).
oo = Open Probe Error (Disconnects output).
Controller Operation
Once the controller reaches set point, the heater will turn off and will not turn on again until the
temperature falls 5°F below the set point.
The controller will alarm if the temperature at the sensor exceeds 15°F of the setpoint.
