2.0 Installation 2.0 Installation Unpacking and Handling When unpacking or moving the product, always lift by its base; do not use the door or any other projecting cover or component to support the equipment when moving it. Use a fork lift or pallet truck to move the product; position the product on a level surface and use an adequate number of personnel to safely move the product into position.
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.

2.0 Installation A table of the most common fuse ratings is also given in section 8.0 towards the back of this manual. Ensure that the correct fuse is used for the product supplied. When the mains cable is factory fitted internal fuses are also fitted. Customer fusing is essential. Product with supply cable: either wire directly to an isolator or fit with a line plug.
3.0 2132 Controller 3.0 2132 Controller Description The 2132 Controller is made by Eurotherm, and is fitted and configured by Carbolite Gero for immediate use. It is a digital instrument with PID control algorithms. The 2132 Controller features: Easy use as a simple temperature controller, where on setting the required tem- perature the controller immediately attempts to reach and maintain it.
3.0 2132 Controller 3.2.2 2132 Controller Operation Alarm Light Page Scroll D Down Display When switched on, the controller lights up, goes through a short test routine and then displays the measured temperature or the over-temperature setpoint. The page key allows access to parameter lists within the controller.
3.0 2132 Controller 3.2.5 Stopping and Starting Control It is possible to stop and start the controller without altering the setpoint. Press scroll until the legend 'm-A' (manual/ auto) appears. In this controller, manual means OFF and auto means ON. Press down or up once to show the current on/ off state: 'mAn' for OFF and 'Auto' for ON.

3.0 2132 Controller Timer Mode Description Timer Light The timer starts timing when the actual temperature is within 1 °C On while temperature is mode 1 of the setpoint. At the end of the reaching setpoint. On during timing period, control switches Timed dwell and the timing period.
3.0 2132 Controller 3.3.1 Setting the Timer Mode Scroll to 'tm.OP'; use to view and alter the mode. The mode shows as 'OPt.1' to 'OPt.5'. It is not possible to alter the mode while the timer is operating; if the mode cannot be altered, scroll to the 'StAt' parameter and set its value to OFF.
3.0 2132 Controller 3.3.5 End of Time Period Modes 1 and 3: heating stops at the end of timing; the 'm-A' parameter changes to 'mAn'. Modes 2 and 4: heating continues at the end of timing; the 'm-A' parameter remains at 'Auto'.

3.0 2132 Controller The controller is calibrated for life at manufacture against known reference sources, but there may be sensor errors or other system errors. User calibration allows compensation for such errors and this controller allows for a user 2-point calibration. This setting is password protected to avoid accidental alteration.

4.0 2132 Over-Temperature Audible Alarm If an audible alarm is supplied for use with the over-temperature controller, it is normally configured to sound on over-temperature condition and to stop sounding when the alarm is acknowledged as given in section 4.2. Note: the alarm may sound during controller start-up.
5.0 Operation 5.0 Operation Operating Cycle The product is fitted with an instrument switch. The switch cuts off power to the controllers and elements. The circulation fan will operate when the instrument switch is on. An optional door switch may be fitted. If so, ensure that the door is closed to operate the fans and heating elements.
5.0 Operation Cool Drying Application The CDHT is designed to operate at typically 150°C - 200°C to dry and test coal samples in accordance with international standards. The oven has air inlet and outlet vents designed to ensure a constant flow of fresh air to dry the samples and carry moisture away.
6.0 Maintenance 6.0 Maintenance General Maintenance Preventive rather than reactive maintenance is recommended. The type and frequency depends on the product use; the following are recommended.
