2.0 Installation

2.1 Unpacking & Handling

When unpacking or moving the product always lift it by its base. Do not use the door or

any other protruding parts. The product contains a transformer and is heavy; use a

pallet truck or fork lift to move the product.

The product has an electrically actuated door. The product must be connected to a

power supply before the door can be opened.

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

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

this material see section 8.2.

2.2 Siting and Setting Up

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.

2.0 Installation

Depending on the application of the product, it may be appropriate to position it under

an extraction hood. Ensure the extraction hood is switched on during use.

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

disconnected from the electrical supply.

Under no circumstances should any objects be placed on top of the product.

Always ensure that any vents on the top of the product are clear of any

obstruction. Always ensure all cooling vents and cooling fans (if fitted) are

clear of any obstruction.

2.3 Fitting the Heating Elements

Please refer to the Element Installation and Replacement in section 8.0.

Wear eye protection when handling the heating elements.

The molybdenum disilicide elements are EXCEPTIONALLY FRAGILE and

are packed separately, together with other items shown in the list.

items packed quantity

Elements 6

Element Clamps 12

Element Clips 12

Braids 1 set

Separators/ Block 6

Chimney Unit 1

Remove the top access panel to allow element fitting.

Fit the heating elements vertically into the chamber. Handle the elements with great

care. The installation of these elements is described in section 8.9. Connect the

aluminium braids securely as indicated in the element installation instructions.

2.4 Electrical Connections

Connection by a qualified electrician is recommended.

The product covered by this manual normally requires a single phase A.C. supply, which

may be Live to Neutral non-reversible, Live to Neutral reversible or Live to Live. Some

models may be ordered for 3-phase use, which may be star or delta.

Check the product rating label before connection. The supply voltage should agree with

the voltage on the label and the supply capacity should be sufficient for the current on

the label.

The supply should be fused at the next size equal to, or higher than the current on the

label. A table of the most common fuse ratings is also given towards the back of this

manual. When the mains cable is factory fitted, internal fuses are also fitted. It is

essential that the operator ensures that the product is correctly fused.

Products with a factory fitted supply cable are designed to be wired directly to an

isolator or fitted with a line plug.

Products without a factory fitted supply cable require a permanent connection to a

fused and isolated supply. The product's electrical access panel should be temporarily

removed, and connections made to the internal terminals.

If the product is to be connected by line plug. The plug should be within reach of the

operator and should be easy to remove.

2.0 Installation

When connecting the product to an isolating switch ensure that both conductors (single

phase) or on all live conductors (three phase), and should be within reach of the

operator.

The supply MUST incorporate an earth (ground).
