The full Eurotherm manual may be required to determine customer parameter settings. To reveal or hide parameters in the controllers it is necessary to go into configuration mode, a security code is needed. Please consult Carbolite Gero. 3.8.1 Digital Communications - RS232 If the RS232 option is supplied, the furnace is fitted with one sub-miniature D-socket connected to the controller comms module. -

The programmer is used in conjunction with a phase angle thyristor power controller, which incorporates a current limit potentiometer pre-set by Carbolite Gero, but which will require adjustment in the event of change of supply voltage. -
Page 31: Thermocouple Warnings
5.0 Operation 5.10 Thermocouple Warnings (1) The output from 1700-1800 °C thermocouples when used regularly at temperatures greater than 1650 °C can deteriorate and decrease with age faster than if used at temperatures below 1650 °C; this will cause the furnace to operate at temperatures higher than indicated. - Page 32 5.0 Operation maximum, or heat using a slowly controlled ramp rate. For more information refer to the controller instructions. The product's elements are very susceptible to mechanical shock. Take great care when loading or unloading the chamber. If it is necessary to load or unload work at elevated temperatures, keep the door open for as short a period as possible.
