SAFE-HEET Engine Heater
Heats the entire engine!
Safe
- UL recognized components. 100% thermal fused element
- External ground wire grounds the engine and airframe to the electrical outlet, reducing the risk of electrical shock in damp outdoor locations
- Thermostatically controlled to maintain oil sump temp less than 160 degrees F
- No flame or hot air to burn cowling or plastic parts
- Reduces the risk of fires associated with cold starts
- Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) included to reduce the risk of electrical shock and power surge damage
Easy to Use
- Permanent installation - thin, flexible pad bonds to engine oil sump
- FAA-PMA for Continental, Lycoming and Franklin engines
- No STC or Form 337 required (log book entry only)
- No engine or airframe modifications required
- Includes instructions and all necessary materials
- Can be used alone or with a timer or temperature controller
- 110V AC
- Industry-leading 4-Year Warranty
Economical and Efficient
- Puts the heat where it is needed
- Heats the air inside the engine
- Uses about 300 Watts (less than the price of a cup of coffee a day!)
- Warms the engine oil from subzero to safe starting temperature in less than one hour
- Thermally conductive adhesive for efficient heat transfer and lower surface temperatures
- Extra adhesive also sold separately. Use 00 GLUE KIT for P/Ns 700 and 705, and 20 GLUE KIT for P/N 720 kits.
- Bonded heatsink distributes heat evenly
- Reduces costly starter and engine abuse during cold weather starts

Installation Tip:
SAFE-HEET engine heaters are installed with a two-part adhesive. The engine heater can be installed quickly and easily by using the 707 temperature controller at half power. At temperatures below 70 degrees F the temperature controller must be used to ensure proper adhesive cure. Proper adhesive cure is essential to service life of the heater.
SAFE-HEET Temperature Controller
The SAFE-HEET Variable Temperature Controller can be used with any 700 Series SAFE-HEET Engine Heater as an installation aid, or for providing temperature control for continuous preheat without promoting internal engine corrosion.
As an installation aid for the SAFE-HEET engine heater, the temperature controller allows the heater to quickly cure the installation adhesive, using its own heat energy at a reduced rate. The increased temperature also thins the adhesive, which aids in eliminating micro bubbles and provides better heat transfer. The SAFE-HEET engine heaters can be installed in much colder temperatures using the model 707 Variable Temperature Controller.
The Variable Temperature Controller can also be used for extended periods by setting the indicator in the blue or red range. These lower temperature settings help prevent the internal engine corrosion normally associated with leaving heaters on at full power. The Variable Temperature Controller allows the user to determine what setting best fits each unique situation. For example, if subzero weather is forecasted and a flight is anticipated in the next couple of days or a week the controller can be set at about 50-75% brightness of the indicator light. The reduced setting will maintain the engine temperatures just above freezing. This engine temperature will not promote internal engine corrosion but will allow quick preheat when the aircraft is needed. For completion of the preheat, the controller can be turned to full power for a short time just before starting the engine.
The Variable Temperature Controller cord is 25 ft long. Temperature range at the top of the blue arc is 125-150 degrees Fahrenheit.
