Unpacking & Inspection
The furnace has been carefully packed for safe shipment by traditional means.
Unpacking should be done carefully. Check carefully for all parts. If any dam-
age has occurred, you should notify the shipper immediately and make the ap-
propriate claim.
The equilibration block assembly has been packed separately in order to protect
the fused silica tube from breakage during shipment. The block assembly
should not be installed into the furnace until it has been placed in its final
location.
Verify that the following components are present:
•
Furnace
•
2 – Thermocouples
•
Equilibration Block Assembly (2 pieces)
•
Block Assembly Instruction Sheet
•
Diskette
•
Controller Manual

Location
The furnace is intended to be installed into any typical calibration facility envi-
ronment. The best results from the furnace are realized if the temperature fluc-
tuations in the room are not excessive. A minimum of 18 inches free air space
around the furnace must be allowed. This air space allows exchange to occur
and safely remove heat from the furnace.
WARNING:
This furnace is intended for high temperature use and conse-
quently a fire danger exists. DO NOT mount the furnace on a flammable
surface and keep fire-extinguishing equipment near by.
Extremely humid environments may require startup on low heat after long peri-
ods of disuse.
