  • Page 7: Description

    Description Intended Use Types 461 and 462 are general purpose laboratory furnaces intended for applications requiring temperatures from 800-1700 degrees C. NOTE General Usage The fans operate continuously, even Do not use this product for anything other than its when the circuit breaker is OFF, to assure intended usage.
  • Page 8: Types Of Controllers

    ESCRIPTION The control section consists of a temperature controller, a current controller, a transformer, a contactor (relay), a circuit breaker, and a pilot light. The temperature controller senses the furnace temperature (by means of the thermocouple) and adjusts electricity to the heating elements by means of the current controller.

    Unpacking Unpacking Visually check for any physical damage to the shipping container. Inspect the equipment surfaces that are adjacent to any damaged area. Open the furnace door and remove packing material from inside the furnace chamber. Vacuum the chamber prior to use to remove the insulation dust due to shipment.
  • Page 13: Installation

    The electrical specifications are located on the specifica- tion plate on the back of the furnace. Consult Barnstead/ Thermolyne if your electrical service is different than those listed on the specification plate. Prior to connecting your Type 46100 or 46200 furnace to your electrical supply, be sure the front circuit breaker is in the OFF position.
