1.3 Prerequisites to Use

Prior to the commissioning and use of this product, all personnel involved in its

installation, operation and maintenance must be deemed competent and have:

lRead and understood the information contained within this manual

lReceived the relevant training with regard to safety and operation of the product

lBeen provided with the appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) required

for the safe operation of this product

Note: The customer is responsible for ensuring that all of the above conditions are

satisfied before the product is commissioned for use.

Note: Unless otherwise specified, the customer is responsible for the

installation of this product and the safe connection of any additional

equipment and gas or liquid supply lines.

2.0 Installation

2.1 Unpacking and Handling

When unpacking and handling the product, always lift it by its base. Do not use the

door or any other projecting cover or component to support the equipment when

moving it. Use two or more people to carry the product where possible.

Carefully remove any packing material from inside and around the product before use.

Avoid damaging the surrounding insulation when removing packing materials.

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.

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 Chimney

The chimney is a length of tubing. If it is supplied unfitted, then fit it through the hole

in the top of the case.

If the product is to be used to heat substances that emit fumes, a fume extraction duct

of approximately 75 mm - 150 mm inlet diameter may be placed directly above the

chimney outlet.

Do not make a sealed connection to the product chimney as this causes excessive

airflow through the chamber and results in poor temperature uniformity.

D 25mm vertical gap between chimney and duct

2.4 Heating Elements

The silicon carbide elements are VERY FRAGILE and are packed separately. Fit them

accordingly to the instructions in section 6.0 for element fitting and replacement

instructions.

2.5 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 with or without neutral.

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. This manual contains a table of the most common fuse ratings.

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.

When connecting the product to the power supply, the plug or isolating switch should

be accessible, easy to remove, and within reach of the operator.

The supply MUST incorporate an earth (ground).

DO NOT connect a product ordered for three phase use to a single

phase supply or to the wrong type of three phase supply.

Technical Notes

This model has an electronically controlled power limit. Do not attempt to calculate the

Amps from the Wattage. High break capacity fuses should be used. Avoid fast-blow

fuses and magnetic trip circuit breakers - consult Carbolite Gero if in doubt.

Two-phase models use two phases out of a 3-phase + neutral supply. One phase is

unused. The neutral current is equal to the current in one of the used phases.

3.0 Temperature Controller

If this product is fitted with a temperature controller, instructions are provided

separately.
