ELECTRICAL SAFETY
This equipment must be correctly earthed.
This equipment is a Class 1 Appliance. A protective earth is used to ensure the conductive
parts cannot become live in the event of a failure of the insulation.
The protective conductor of the flexible mains cable which is coloured green/yellow MUST
be connected to a suitable earth.
The Blue conductor should be connected to Neutral and the Brown conductor to Live (Line).
Warning: Internal mains voltage hazard. Do not remove the panels.
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Contact your nearest Isotech agent for repair.
Voltage transients on the supply must not exceed 2.5kV.

EVERY EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE TO PACKAGE THIS UNIT FOR TRANSPORT AND TO
ENSURE ITS GOOD CONDITION ON ARRIVAL AT ITS DESTINATION.
BEFORE COMMISSIONING IT IS NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE FURNACE CORE
TRANSIT CLAMP. TO AVOID DAMAGE PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Slacken the central nut using the required tube spanner; the insertion of a
screwdriver through the tube spanner will prevent the central stud turning.
2. Remove the 3 screws securing the transit clamp to the top of the unit. Slacken each
screw equally by degrees and then completely remove the screws.
3. Gently lift the transit clamp vertically; a central tube which has secured the furnace
core will then slide out. The 3 screws should then be replaced in the top of the unit
4. Normal commissioning procedure may now be followed.
5. Keep the transit clamp and use it if the furnace is ever transported.

THE HIGH-TEMPERATURE FURNACE
The high-temperature furnace for realisation of metal freezing points is based on the heat-
pipe. It is furnished with two independent control systems, one for temperature control and
the other for over-temperature protection.
Proportional, integral and derivative adjustments for the controller Eurotherm 2604 and the
means for obtaining optimum settings, are described in the manufacturer's manual, which is
included as part of this manual. These parameters are initially adjusted to optimal conditions
for the Isotech Laboratory environment (ambient temperature of 20 ±2°C) in which the
furnace was tested prior to shipment.
The furnace has an over-temperature cut-off controller. Its purpose is to establish an upper
temperature limit after which all systems power will be shut down to protect the system from
the effects of possible operating controller failure.
In use:
a. The over-temperature controller should be set at a temperature approximately 50°C
higher than the operating controller setting.
b. To turn on system power at start up (or as required), it is necessary to actuate the
front panel off/on switch and also to depress the red reset button.
To adjust the over temperature trip point press the UP and Down keys to modify the SP
value to the desired temperature.
On furnaces with the 2216 controller fitted, the model type is shown on the controller at
power up, it is necessary to use the UP and DOWN keys to modify the value.

A further safety device is provided in the furnace and is accessible by removing the top
panel and some fibre insulation. It comprises a gold wire (Potassium Heat Pipe only) in
series with the primary power circuit and is essentially in thermal contact with the furnace
core. Its function is to melt if both other control systems fail. This thermal fuse should not
be replaced after failure until the causative fault has been understood and corrected! The
terminal posts for fuse-connection are sited on the outer shell of the furnace assembly facing
the rear panel.
A section through the sealed type of metal freezing-point cell used in the furnace is shown in
Figure 1 and cell external dimensions are specified in Figure 2.
Figure 3 shows a section through the furnace (not to scale) together with the layout of the
controllers and power switch on the front panel.
The furnace is equipped with a thermometer pre-heating tube.
