from combustible materials. Similarly, a clearance of at least 45 cm (18’’) must be
provided above the top of the instrument.
Leveling
In order to obtain glass beads with a regular thickness, it is important that the
mold be reasonably horizontal upon pouring. If in doubt, place a lightweight
bubble spirit level on the mold and adjust instrument’s feet to compensate for
possible slant. (See page 22 for mold installation details.)
Connection
The K1 Prime works on 117-127 or 220-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
When used at 117-127 VAC, the power line must be able to provide
12 A.
When used at 220-240 VAC, the power line must be able to provide
10 A.
While it is technically workable to use the instrument in the lower range of
voltages, heat-up times will be longer than in the recommended voltage range. It
is possible that the instrument show heating errors due to this, because the
microprocessor monitors temperature increase vs. time.
In areas where the voltage during operation is likely to fall below the lower
recommended limit, the use of a 1500 W step-up transformer is required.
Compatibility
with the older
K1 model
If you own an older-generation K1 unit, please note that the mold heating module
and the solution agitation module, while being physically very similar to their new
versions, are NOT compatible.
IMPORTANT:
Damage to the instrument will occur if an older module is
connected to the K1 Prime.
