In order for the Product to perform within
specification, the open ends of the furnace tube
(both front and rear) must be filled with a
temperature-resistant fiber ceramic insulating
material such as a Superwool Plus Blanket.
Fiber ceramic insulation contains a binding
material that will off-gas when first exposed to high
temperatures producing a harmless odor. Once
the binding material has off-gassed completely,
the odor will no longer persist with subsequent
uses of the furnace.
Warning
To avoid personal injury or skin irritation, wear
disposable latex gloves (or equivalent) when
handling fiber ceramic material.
The front-panel controls let you set the parameters of the
Product and monitor its performance. You can also set the
parameters of the communication interface. Four softkeys
are used to navigate through the menus of the Product.
The menus let you setup the Product and change system
parameters as necessary.
