Page 3: Electrical Shock Hazard
WARNINGS! TUTCO SureHeat Process Air Heaters contain high watt-density elements and must be controlled carefully to prevent element failure. IMPORTANT: Be sure to read and understand this operating manual before turning the system ON. Follow all checklists shown in the manual. Failure to do so can cause a heat- er failure and may void warranty. - Page 4 PRECAUTIONS Caution: Do not operate heater without air flowing Use filtered air. Avoid grease, oil, or oil vapors, corrosive or reactive gases which will damage heater. Note: When using compressed air a pressure reduction valve and an oil & water separation unit should be installed to avoid contaminating the heater and reduce heater life.
- Page 5 EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR HEATERS ELEMENT The life of a TUTCO SureHeat heater is directly based on the temperature of the heater’s fi lament wire. Most failures are due to low air fl ow or damage associated to power control and voltage ramp up rates which elevate the element wire temperature above 2200ºF (1204ºC).

PERFORMANCE CURVES HOT AIR TOOLS MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE CURVE The attached performance curves show exit air temperatures at different airfl ows and voltages. Pressure readings (longer dashed lines) are measured at the inlet to the heater with no entrance or exit restrictions. Solid lines indicate safe, normal-life operating conditions. The shorter dash lines indicate marginal, shorter-life operating conditions leading to premature burnout. - Page 16 3. Verify inlet air temperature is below set point on INLET TEMPERATURE controller. iii.) If there is no continuity on any test, then contact your local TUTCO SureHeat representative for assistance. Remove entire heater assembly from system. Internal components are typically not replaceable.
