2.1 Unpacking and Handling
Unpack the product and remove the transit clamp from the working end of the product
as follows:
lloosen the locking nut on the central clamp bolt;
lturn the bolt clockwise with a screwdriver to release the force on the clamping
device;
lremove the two screws which hold the transit clamp to the product;
lcarefully withdraw the transit clamp;
lretain the clamp.
If at any time the product is returned for repair or otherwise subject to arduous travel,
refit the transit clamp. The product must be cold before the clamp is fitted.
Underneath the product is a dual voltage switch. Set this correctly for the electrical
supply to be used: 115 V for 110 - 120 V, 230 V for 220 - 240 V.
NOTE: This product contains Refractory Ceramic Fibre (also known as
Alumino Silicate Wool - ASW). For precautions and advice on handling
this material see section 6.2.
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.
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.
