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 7.2.

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 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.

2.4 Electrical Connections

Connection by a qualified electrician is recommended.

This product requires a single-phase A.C. supply with earth (ground), which may be Live

to Neutral non-reversible (polarised), Live to Neutral reversible (non-polarised), or Live

to Live.

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.

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).

This over-temperature controller is fitted and supplied ready to use by Carbolite Gero.

It is a digital instrument with a latching alarm, requiring no additional panel controls.

The controller features easy setting of over-temperature setpoint and reading of current

temperature by the over-temperature sensor.

4.2 Operation

4.2.1 Controls

Most Carbolite Gero products are fitted with an instrument switch which cuts off power

to the controller and other parts of the control circuit.

To operate the controller, power must be supplied to the product and the instrument

switch must be on. If a time switch is included in the product circuit, this must be in the

'ON' position.

When an over-temperature condition occurs, the controller cuts the power to a

contactor, which in turn cuts power to the heating elements. Power is not restored until

the controller is 'reset'.

Some components will operate after the over-temperature feature isolates the power

supply e.g. cooling fans will continue to operate, provided that there is a power supply

to the product. In some cases the product may not do so, if other options (such as a

door switch) are fitted.
