GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Field of application The FT 6060 fresh-air laboratory heating oven has been designed as an item of laboratory equipment to be used for heating items and materials in the laboratory. The items or materials to be heated in batches may bear traces of combustible liquid solvents.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety Instructions Comply with the instructions in this manual and keep it in the vicinity of the unit. This heating oven must be operated in accordance with the instruction manual and may only be used for its intended applications to ensure the safety of personnel, the environment and the processed items and materials.
SETUP AND INSTALLATION Unpacking the unit Unpack the unit, remove the transport safety fixtures from the inner chamber and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated in transit. Transport If the unit is damaged in any way (e.g. defective seals), this may jeopardize the explosion protection of the equipment.
SETUP AND INSTALLATION Installation Type of installation: Keep the unit away from direct sunlight. UV radiation may cause discolouration of plastic parts. Place the fresh-air laboratory heating oven on a firm, fireproof surface (e.g. laboratory table, support frame) in a stable upright position. The unit has been designed for stand-alone installation.
SETUP AND INSTALLATION Earth bonding An M 6 stud is provided for an additional local earth bonding (e.g. 6 mm lead) next to the mains cable entry on the rear panel of the unit. We advise you to use this connection facility. Noise insulation The unit ventilation system develops a sound pressure of approx.
SETUP AND INSTALLATION Connecting to a fresh-air system The fresh-air laboratory heating oven must be connected to a fresh-air supply. The connection must be sealed (nom. Ø of the flange: 100). The connector piece on the unit must not be subjected to any mechanical stresses.
