    4.0   2132 Over-Temperature 4.2.2 Operation 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. A single press of the page key displays the temperature units, normally set to °C;...
  • Page 15: Audible Alarm

    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.
  • Page 16: Operation

    5.0   Operation 5.0 Operation Operating Cycle This product is fitted with an instrument switch which cuts off power to the control circuit. Connect the product to the electrical supply. Turn on the instrument switch to activate the temperature controllers. The controllers illuminate and go through a short test cycle.
  • Page 17: Operator Safety

    5.0   Operation Operator Safety The ceramic materials used in this product become electrically conductive at high temperatures. In these models there are partially exposed heating coils in the chamber and there is a danger of contact even with the furnace closed. DO NOT use any conductive tools within the work tube without isolating it.
  • Page 18: Tube Life

    5.0   Operation Tube Life A ceramic work tube may crack if work pieces are inserted too quickly or at temperatures below 900 °C (when the tube is more brittle). Large work pieces should also be heated slowly to ensure that large temperature differences do not arise.
  • Page 19: Running At Low Temperatures

    5.0   Operation supply voltage. The models covered by this manual are designed for use over the range of voltages 200 V - 250 V (or, if ordered, 100 V - 125 V), and the power limit parameter is set accordingly. These models may be adjusted to a different voltage within the range: the power limit should be reset to match OP.Hi, see 10.0 Refer to section 3.0 for power adjustment instructions.

    6.0   Maintenance 6.2.1 Cleaning The product's outer surface may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not allow water to enter the interior of the case or chamber. Do not clean with organic solvents. Under no circumstances should any objects be placed on top of the product. Always ensure that any vents on the top of the product are clear of any obstruction.
  • Page 23: After-Sales Service

    6.0   Maintenance use the product close to its maximum temperature. A quick check using an independent thermocouple and temperature indicator should be made from time to time to determine whether full calibration is required. Carbolite Gero can supply these items. Depending on the controller fitted, the controller instructions may contain calibration instructions.
