1.0 Symbols and Warnings

1.0 Symbols and Warnings

1.1 Switches and Lights

Instrument switch: when the instrument switch is operated the

temperature control circuit is energised.

Heat light: the adjacent light glows or flashes to indicate that power

is being supplied to the elements.

Heat switch: the switch disconnects power to the heating elements;

unless this switch is OFF there is a danger of electric shock when

inserting objects into the product.

1.2 General Warnings

DANGER – Electric shock. Read any warning printed next to this

symbol.

WARNING: Risk of fatal injury.

DANGER – Hot surface. Read any warning printed next to this

symbol.

WARNING: All surfaces of a product may be hot.

DANGER – Read any warning printed next to this symbol.

Caution – Double Pole/Neutral Fusing

1.3 Warning Labels

On the front control panel there are 2 warning labels as shown in figure 1.3.1; they are

numbered 7 and 8. These warnings must be followed for the safe operation of this

furnace.

7- Warning label - Do not operate without a work tube.

The furnace must not be operated without the correctly sized work tube

and correspond work tube adaptors or it could be possible for an

operator to access electrically live element coils that could cause serious

injury or death.

8- Warning label - Switch off the furnace before loading and

unloading.

The furnace heaters must be switched OFF using the heater switch, item

2 in figure 1.3.1, when the furnace is being loaded or unloaded. The

work tube can become electrically conductive at high temperatures,

presenting a possible hazard to the operator. If element failure is left

undetected the element could collapse onto the work tube.

Index to numbered items in Figure 1.3.1 and 1.3.2

1. Electrical supply switch - switches electrical power ON and OFF to the furnace.

2. Heater switch - switches electrical power ON and OFF to the furnace heating ele-

ments.

3. Heater ON light - indicates that the furnace heating elements are energized.

4. Product rating label indicating the product serial number and electrical inform-

ation.

5. Access holes to front panel fixing screws.

6. Warning label - Disconnect the mains supply before removing this cover.

7. Warning label - Do not operate without a work tube.

8. Warning label - Switch OFF the furnace before loading and unloading.

9. Electrical power lead socket.

10. Back panel fixing screws.

2.0 Installation

If the product has been transported or stored in humid conditions it

must be dried out completely before operating the furnace. Contact

Carbolite Gero Service for instructions.

2.1 Unpacking and Handling

When unpacking or moving the product, always lift it by its base or both ends of the

main body. Never lift it by the end insulation or by a work tube. It may take 2 or 3

people to lift the furnace, depending on the size and configuration.

NOTE: This product contains Refractory Ceramic Fibre (also known as

Alumino Silicate Wool - ASW). For precautions and advice on handling

this material see section 7.2.

2.2 Siting

Place the product on a level surface in a well ventilated area.

Site away from other sources of heat and on a non-flammable surface that is resistant

to accidental spillage or hot materials.

The surface on which the equipment is mounted should be stable and not subject to

movement or vibrations.

The height of the mounting surface is important to avoid operator strain when loading

and unloading samples.

Unless otherwise stated elsewhere in this manual, ensure that there is at least 150

mm of free space around the back and sides of the product. Clear space is required

above the product to dissipate heat.

Work tubes:

It is recommended that the work tube has either insulation plugs or

radiation shields fitted to minimise heat loss from both ends of the work

tube. If the work tube has open ends, a significant amount of energy

could be radiated from the ends of the work tube. Adjacent surfaces

should always be made from a non-flammable material.

Ensure that the ends of the work tube are positioned at least 500 mm

away from any adjacent surface so that any energy radiated cannot heat

an adjacent surface to a dangerous temperature.

2.0 Installation

If the product is to be used in a process which could liberate hazardous gases, then it

should be installed together with a suitable fume extraction system.

Ensure that the product is placed in such a way that it can be quickly switched off or

disconnected from the electrical supply.

2.3 Setting Up

The vertical tube furnace models must have their stands assembled, the furnace

mounted on the stand and their work tubes fitted before they can be used.

Assembling the stand and mounting the furnace

Tools required: 4 mm Allen key.

The assembly of the vertical stand is as follows with reference to 2.3.1, 2.3.2 and 2.3.3.

Place the vertical stand base item (1) on the floor or bench on which it is to be

assembled.

lPosition the vertical stand upright (2) on the stand base in line with the fixing holder.

lSecure the stand upright to the base using the 6 x M6 dome cap screws (4) and wash-

ers (3) supplied.

lPartially screw in the top M6 screw knobs, 2 x (6) into the frame upright as shown in

2.3.3.

lHook the furnace onto the top screw knobs. This may take 2 people to lift the fur-

nace.

lFit the bottom screw knobs x 2 and tighten all four.
