IntrODuzIOne Prima di utilizzare l’apparecchio, leggere tutte le informazioni contenute in questo manuale. attenzIOne Le alte temperature sono pericolose: possono causare ustioni gravi all’utilizzatore e possono causare la combustione di materiale infiammabile. La Techne ha posto particolare cura nel progettare questo strumento, al fine di proteggere gli operatori da eventuali pericoli, ma gli utilizzatori devono prestare attenzione ai seguenti punti: •... - Page 16 Il fusibile all’interno dell’apparecchio protegge l’apparecchiatura e l’utilizzatore. Tenere presente che gli apparecchi riportanti sulla targhetta 230 V funzionano a 220V. Gli apparecchi riportanti 120V funzionano a 110V. Comunque, in entrambi i casi la velocità di riscaldamento diminuirà approssimativamente dell’8%. 3.

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 temperature controller (16) Units with Serial Number/9 onwards When the mains switch (19) is set to the ON position the fluorescent indicator panel will display the measured and set temperature in digital form. To alter the set point depress the respective UP/DOWN button and after a delay of two seconds the set point will change in the required direction.

Page 25: Operation
OperatIOn The FB-08 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 26: Calibration
Calibration When using the FB-08 to calibrate thermal sensors such as thermocouples and platinum resistance thermometers, it is important to ensure that the working volume of the bath is thermally stable. Use an independent temperature sensor, such as a reference thermocouple, to check the temperature uniformity and stability, see Specification. -
Page 27: 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 28: Fault Finding
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 29 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.
