General Information 

Environmental Conditions 

Ambient Temperature 

0°C to 38°C (32°F to 100°F) 

Humidity 

 

0% to 90% R.H. 

Ambient Pressure   

0.8 to 1.2 Bar (11.8 psia to 17.6 psia) 

Ventilation  

Use in a well-ventilated area away from excess dust, dirt, and moisture. 

Cleaning  

With unit OFF and unplugged, exterior surfaces  
may be wiped clean using a damp cloth. 

Attaching 230V (European style) plugs

(see diagram): 

NOTE: Use plug appropriate for local area and codes.    
Only qualified personnel should perform wiring.    
Overcurrent protection should be provided external 
to the heater unit within plug type shown or similar fusing.

  

Protective Earthing 

The yellow and green ground wire in the power cable is attached directly to the aluminum 
base plate inside the heater via a dedicated screw terminal.   Additional protective earthing 
can be attached to the aluminum base plate if desired.  

Basic Operation 

1.

Turn SKORPION air heater ON

 using two switches:

1.1.  Switch S1 (blower) sends power to the blower and to heater switch S2.
1.2.  Switch S2 (heater) sends power to the heater control circuit.
1.3.  Note, for heater safety, S2 (heater) cannot turn ON without S1 (blower) ON.

2.

Adjust airflow 

via a rotational air damper at the blower inlet.

3.

Adjust temperature set point

 with the UP/DOWN arrows on the temperature controller.

Heater will ramp to temperature.
3.1.  The process temperature is measured with an internal type “K” thermocouple located at

the end of an element inside the stainless housing.  

4.

When 

turning the heater off 

the heater power (S2) may be turned off and the blower (S1)

left on to cool the heater housing assembly. This is suggested to prevent burn injury of
personnel around the heater but is not necessary for safety of the heater element.
