Page 18: Introduction
The characteristics of the FB-08C in terms of thermal uniformity and heat transfer make it a useful tool in the calibration and testing of a very wide range of temperature sensors; however, the unit is applicable to many other processes, such as thermal testing of sensitive components - eg semiconductor devices, wire products, delicate transducers - and can be used as a constant temperature environment for chemical reactions. -

note To prevent damage during transit the float may have been removed from the flowmeter on the front panel. If so the following steps should be taken when installing the unit. Remove the protective cover. Remove the flow tube by first removing the plastic clip at the top of the flow tube, lift the flow tube up and remove the bottom of the tube clear of the flowmeter assembly. -
Page 24: Operation
OperatIOn The FB-08C calibration Fluidised Bath is capable of precise performance, but for reliable and consistent results it must be used by personnel conversant with its operation. For temperature stability the heat input to the bath must exactly equal heat losses; the heat input from the immersed heaters is varied by the controller which has a characteristic time constant for its response to a change in demand. -
Page 25: Calibration
Techne are able to offer a work basket which ensures that the probes being calibrated are held within the working volume of the bath, alternatively custom built probe holders are available. Probe holders locate the sensors being calibrated at a known position within the bath and act as equalising blocks so that the basic isothermal properties of the fluidised bath are further enhanced. -
Page 26: Dead Bed Calibration
The probe plate supplied with the FB-08C may be machined to allow the sensors being calibrated access to the bath. This probe plate should always be positioned above the surface of the bath in the probe plate carrier so as to inhibit the loss of fine alumina particles from the surface of the bath. -
Page 27: Calibration Procedure
Calibration procedure Connect a mV source to thermocouple input. Connect a DVM to TP1. Set mV source to give a reading of 3.00 volts at TP1. (This should correspond to 300°C input = 12.2mV). Connect DVM TP2. Adjust VR1 to give reading of -2.81 volts at TP2. Connect DVM to TP3. -
Page 28: Set-Up Procedure
Ensure that the extraction air switch is in the ON position. Disconnect the thermocouple input to the automatic air control PCB (situated in the panel on the right hand side of the FB-08C) and substitute with millivolt source having correct cold junction compensation for a type K thermocouple. -
Page 29: Servicing
serVICIng Before any servicing is attempted the unit should be disconnected from the mains and allowed to cool down. In all cases maintenance and repair work should be undertaken only by a skilled technician. Untrained personnel should not attempt to dismantle the instrument. Daily Maintenance (or as necessary) Empty the cyclone collector bottle as follows (can be done whilst bath is hot): Turn off the fluidisation air. -
Page 30: Fault Finding
The following guide has been prepared should a fault develop with the fluidised bath. The procedures laid down should be followed using only the specified replacement parts. If the fault cannot be located by using this guide, Techne carry full service facilities. If the unit fails to operate, check the fuse, electrical and air supplies. - Page 31 Fault Check Power on but air a) Check there is no restriction in the supply. controller does Supply to the unit must be at 60 psi with 130 L/min flow. not illuminate b) Check the blue silicone rubber tube, from the plenum chamber to the pressure switch, is in place.

COMpOnent aCCess REMEMBER THAT HIGH VOLTAGES ARE EXPOSED WHEN THE CASE IS REMOVED AND THE UNIT IS PLUGGED INTO THE POWER. to drain the alumina fluidising medium This is best done when the bath is cool as hot alumina can cause severe burns. Ensure that the fluidisation air is turned off at the valve on the flowmeter (21), remove the drain cap (23) situated at the bottom rear of the unit. - Page 33 to replace the Controller To remove the controller from the panel, turn screw in the bottom right hand corner of the controller fascia counter clockwise. The instrument will start to withdraw from the sleeve and once the screw has been turned to its furthest extent the instrument can be withdrawn by hand. To replace the controller: ease the instrument by hand into the sleeve to its furthest extent.

Probe holders (made to customers' requirements by Techne) The FB-08C provides a calibration medium for a wide range of sensor shapes and sizes. However, in cases where there is a constant probe size, it is sometimes more convenient to use a probe holder as this provides a metallic thermal shunt so that the basic isothermal properties of the bath are further enhanced. - Page 42 France north & south america Bibby Scientific Bibby Scientific US Bâtiment le Deltaparc t/a Techne Inc.
