Installation
Congratulations on your acquisition of the X-300 fluxer, from Katanax. Please read
the following section for proper commissioning of your instrument. Do not hesitate
to contact Katanax with any question you might have with this crucial step.
IMPORTANT : It is advisable that several persons carry this instrument to avoid
injuries. Do not drop instrument.
Box contents
The instrument comes with its essential accessories. In addition to optional items
you might have ordered, the box should contain:
 1 fluxer X-300
 1 instruction manual (this booklet)
 USB memory stick and hex key set
Additionally, if you have ordered a X-300 with solution-making capability, you will
find:
 3 unbreakable PTFE beakers, #KP0010A
 magnetic stirring bars (one is included with each beaker)
 the rest of the solution-making assembly is pre-installed into the instrument,
and is not packaged separately.
Location
Vent hood
Molten flux, additives and some samples may produce vapors and gases that
need to be extracted. In particular, the use of excessive amounts of halogen-
based non-wetting agent will potentially cause the deterioration of the fluxer if the
corrosive fumes are not properly vented out.
In order to minimize airflow around the unit, the hood shall ideally be of the
canopy type, i.e. with sides and front open. If the sides are closed or otherwise
occupied by other instruments, a clearance of 30 cm from combustible materials
shall be maintained on either sides and to the back of the instrument.
Sash-type hoods should preferably not be used; or if unavoidable, the sash shall
be kept open, so as not to create front-to-back air movements.
The funnel (intake section) of the hood shall be approximately equal (or slightly
larger than) the size of the instrument's footprint, and centered above it to avoid
sideways airflow around the fluxer.
