6.2.2 Connecting the argon supply CAUTION! When using argon in the laboratory, follow the pertinent national safety regulations (for Germany: TRGS 526, and especially section 5.2.11, Compressed gas cylinders and fittings) When replacing the Crypton door by Cercon door, make sure to disconnect the argon supply of from the furnace.
The argon flow during a Crypton sintering cycle is 1 l/min. Determining the amount of argon remaining: The pressure gauge shows how much compressed argon is left in the argon cylinder. A new argon gas cylinder is filled to 200 bar. If the pressure reading is only half of that, i.e.
6.4.2 Adjust furnace parameters The high temperature furnace is shipped from the factory with the time already set and with standard parameters chosen. Before first use, customize the time and other furnace parameters if and as needed. Note: The controller does not automatically alternate between standard and daylight saving time.
Operation Staff Laboratory assistant, trained dental technician Safety Basics WARNING! Improper operation is an injury hazard! Improper operation can lead to serious injury or property damage. Therefore: Perform all steps only as specified in these Instructions for Use. ...
CAUTION! Risk of damage to electronic controller components due to arcing! During the heating phase, if the space between metallic objects and the walls of the heating chamber is too small, there is a risk of electrical discharges. This may cause irreparable damage to the control electronics of the furnace.
Sintering Crypton (Not included with all units, see section 4.6, Scope of delivery, page 15.) The Crypton sintering set consists of the following components: 1. Door for Crypton sintering 2. High-performance ceramic bottom plate 3. High-performance ceramic sintering bowl 4. High-performance ceramic sintering guard 5.
Exchanging the chamber door To sinter Cercon, the chamber door must be exchanged first. In addition, the argon supply line of the Crypton door must be disconnected. To exchange the chamber door, proceed as follows: 1. To disengage the connector of the argon supply line of the Crypton door, slide the retaining ring of the connector in the direction of the furnace housing.
5. When inserting the Cercon door, make sure that the guide pin of the door engages the bore hole provided. Fig. 21: Unlocking the door. 6. Slide the Cercon door onto the furnace mount as far as it will go. Unlock the guide pin again by turning it to the left. Gently pull the door forward until the guide pin engages the corresponding bore hole in the door mount.
Sintering Cercon (Not included with all units, see section 4.6, Scope of delivery, page 15) The Cercon sintering set consists of the following components: 1. Door for Cercon sintering 2. Lid for speed-sintering bowl 3. Ring for speed-sintering bowl 4. Bottom plate for speed-sintering bowl 5.
