Low Temp Furnace Model ITL-M-17701 13-07/20
QUICK START
Locate the furnace in a suitable, level location. Leave a minimum of 150mm of space around and 500mm
above the furnace for air circulation. Ensure there is a suitable power supply nearby.
Assemble the furnace as in figure 18, connect the furnace to the electrical supply and power it up.
The Overtemperature controller will power up and display the current temperature of the furnace.
To power up the furnace you will need to enable the main controller. To do this, press the SCROLL button
on the Overtemperature controller until Hi Alarm is displayed, using the up/down buttons enter a new
temperature for the overtemperature protection.
Initially this can be quite a low value, say 200°C, for test purposes. Now press the SCROLL and PAGE
buttons together, once to enter the new value and a second time to reset the controller. On the second
press the furnace will make a noise as the main control circuit powers up.
The furnace is now active and ready for use. On the main controller, press the SCROLL button to highlight
the Setpoint box. Press again to adjust the value and select a suitable value, a value 20°C below the
overtemperature is suitable, using the up/down buttons. Enter the value by pressing the Scroll button. The
furnace will now rise in temperature to the selected value.
If the furnace has been in transit or not been used for several days then there may be an ingress of
moisture
into the insulation and other ceramics, the furnace may need to be “dried out” by running at a low
value such as 100°C for a period of several hours.
