Page 11: Purging The Chamber
To reduce cracking in the ceramic liner, please do not rapidly heat or cool down the tube furnace in the temperature range of 800 – 1200 o C. The suggested heating or cooling rate is 10 o C/ min. Alumina bonding adhesives from MTI can be purchased to mend these cracks: http://www.mtixtl.com/1650c3000fhi-purityaluminaadhesiveforbondingandrepairinghightemperaturefurnacequart.aspx... - Page 12 Open the needle valve (optional part) Open the Pressure regulator (MTI recommends customer to use regulator on the gas cylinder, around 20 psi is recommended ) Adjust the knob of flow meter for gas filling speed (3.5L/min is recommended ) Stop filling in the purging gas when the value on the gauge shows 0.01Mpa...

Page 19: Functions Of Main Parameters
KSL-1200X-AC-5S Attention: Whenever you want to change the parameters referred below, please change the value of parameter “Loc” to “808” first in order to unlock the parameter settings. FUNCTIONS OF MAIN PARAMETERS Maintain parameter M5: Like integral time of PID calibration, this parameter is mainly in charge of the integral work during the adjustment process. For instance, the smaller the M5 is set, the stronger the system integral effect is, vice versa. - Page 20 KSL-1200X-AC-5S Delay time t: It is defined as the time spent when the heating rate reaches to 63.5% of the maximum value with assumption that there is no heat dissipation. Remember, this parameter affects the three functions such as integral, proportion and differential, the smaller t is, the stronger proportion and integral function are but weaker differential, after all, the system feedback is promoted, vice versa.

AUTO - TUNE In order to obtain precise temperature control, customers should pay more attention to the parameters of M5, P and t. Actually, MTI’s engineers have already made a strict high temperature pre-heating test (rate: 5℃/min) and fine-tuned on these three parameters according to each furnace’... -
Page 22: Equipment Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Do not open the furnace when it is being heated above 300 to prevent its insulation materials from cracking. MTI furnaces are only suitable for using with air or inert gas environments. Other flammable or toxic gases, such as H , Cl and SO , will cause damage to the heating elements. -
